So does Smoking, Alcohol, Drugs, Unsafe Sex, Reckless Driving, and Obesity.

Lets work on these issues and leave my guns alone!


PS - What is "Gun Violence" - a leftist made-up term.

Well, according to the dems "Gun Violence" is not criminals waving guns at police and shooting them, nor is "Gun Violence" gang members shooting up our big city streets, and it's definitely not when Bernie supporters shoot up members of Congress at baseball practice.

In an average year, gun violence in America kills nearly 40,000 people,

More than half are suicide, another failure of a post. When someone kills them self....what's the cost then?

Be honest...not holding my breath, but lets see.....

There's also the cost of people who wouldn't normally purchase guns and ammunition (i.e. don't live in a rural area, not using them for hunting, target shooting, etc.) buying them out of fear and paranoia.

Quite a few cities and states declaring they are 2a sanctuaries. The list goes on.

The words “from my cold dead hands” are rather appropriate here in relation to what dementia joe will have to do to stop me exercising y Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

^ This is exactly why police are freaking out, shooting out of fear, and quitting due to the stress of out of control gun violence.

Now do pretending there is a mass murdering pandemic so that the liberals / democrats can rig the elections with mail in ballots, among other things

Now let's talk about the cost of illegal drugs that are killing and addicting the American people.

Do guns have anything to do with ^ ? If not, you can use your ideas to start your own thread.

This ^ is a ridiculous statement! Gun violence is gun violence.

Umm, no. The police are on edge because of all the BLM terrorists slamming them daily for every single thing they do. They are freaking out because the loony liberal left wants to put them all out of a job for no good reason. They are shooting armed felons that are resisting arrest and ignoring their orders.

Newsflash, law abiding gun owners are not the ones committing gun violence in any way, shape, or form. It is the criminal drug addicts with their illegally acquired guns they bought from the trunk of a car on the street that are causing the violence and the problems.

I’m sure the police in these newly minted constitutional carry states are breathing a sigh of relief knowing that law abiding gun owners are now out in higher numbers and will be there to assist and back them up against the criminals who have no regard for other people.

You need to give that news channel that really is "entertainment" a break.

How will you know the good guys with guns from the bad guys with guns?
