Just saying. I don't get my rights from political edicts or fictitious parchments anyway.
The broader question is, "so what"? This thread relates to the implementation of CC starting Sept 1. Those instances of mass shootings since Sept 1 have no evidence that it was related to anyone carrying at the time that wouldn't have been legal to carry before Sept 1 (or don't involve CC, i.e. the Houston incident that occurred in a private home).

How much does it cost to vote there?

Your state kind of kicked off the school shooting trend. You'd think... never mind. Not sure you would.

No worries.

It'll happen on a Saturday night outside a bar. Some bunch of guys will get all liquored up and start shooting each other over some perceived slight, or female. We get those incidents every couple of years.

Or grandpa will drop his pistol while being seated at Denny's.

This again?
How many decades of your projected fantasy have to go without being played out before you realize this doesn't happen?

Abortion laws, not legalizing pot, and open carry are great ways to keep liberals from infesting normal states.

Too bad we didn't think of all this sooner.

Maybe all the dems who moved to Austin, Atlanta, NC, Orlando, and Nashville will go back to liberal hell holes.

Unfortunately, CO was ruined long ago and is not able to be salvaged.

That is the only way.

Even the crazy people, if they walk the streets as a FREE American, they retain all their rights.
If they screw up, they eventually get culled from the herd.

I was just correcting a statement. Nothing more, nothing less.

Pot is all but legalized here, by defacto legalizing hemp a few years ago.
They cannot prosecute without the THC levels, and the testing for THC level way exceeds the restitution gained back by the state.

For the last 8 months there has been a shooting on 6th street(bar and nightclub district) practically every weekend.

Didn't hear about one the last 2 weeks.
