The complacent system of the leftist establishment that believes it will solve everything, has to be rooted out and eliminated from the abject mentality of the majority of liberal individuals and their groups who, with the word "community" which is nothing more than Communism, believe that they can do anything and have the right to impose the absurd law of divisionism of protected classes so that all these catastrophes arise in society and the "protectionist" and Deep State makes its entrance.
As long as an entire people is induced to blame men and women for a non-existent "white supremacy" to hide many other supremacies such as black supremacy and that of homosexuals among many others, so that they arm themselves with "empowerment" over the First law that is the Constitution for all, in which what should exist is the pride of being an American and not that of a specific and divisive class, then in America we will continue to witness massacres, designed, remotely controlled and even sponsored by secret programs of the Deep Estate that the forces of the left deny. Guns and Second Amendment is not the problem.
Bullsquat from Paul Gosar. You guys need to quit with the blatant rumors and nonsense.

It looks like Turkey will continue to block Sweden and Finland entry in to NATO.

However you can't really blame Turkey for blocking Finland and Sweden, as US House of Representatives’ Speaker Nancy Pelos has recently targeted Turkey, because of her closeness to the Greek lobby in the US.

You do tend to loose allies when idiots like Pelosi start interfering and making their ignorant ill informed comments.

As for losing Turkish support, it would mean the loss of the Bosporus and straits leading in to the Black Sea, as well as the loss of US bases in Turkey, as Erdogan has wanted US bases closed for some time.

The US will never learn, then again what do you expect in terms of prize idiots and international embarrassments such as Pelosi and indeed Biden.

I am not angry. I am being 100% calm and logical about the entire gun rights conversation, and I am having it with people who are highly emotional and being knee jerk hysterical about taking away EVERYONE'S rights because one sick, twisted person misused their rights.

You may be reasonably concerned, but plenty of others are shrieking out that the "solution" to 19+ dead children is taking away Volobjectitarian's rights. They aren't just pondering why a clearly sick young man perpetrated great evil, or how they could have better protected the kids in that particular building, or what can we all do to help the parents of those kids with what has to be soul crushing grief. They aren't pondering any of that. What they are demanding with raised voices and pounding fists on internet and TV podiums is taking away my rights as vengeance for what this one kid did.

So while I am very sad about those kids, my sadness doesn't let me drop my guard, and plenty of the "aggrieved" out there are 100% out to take away my rights. Even during a sad time, I will still stand up for my rights and the rights of others.

No.

YOU tell me what an assault weapon is.

And then tell me why makes whatever it is that you define as an assault weapon so deadly - speak on its characteristics, its ballistics, its capacities as a firearm.

Otherwise - you don't know what an assault weapon is and are just throwing this phrase out there as do people who oppose firearms ownership and they do so because it's a phrase that evokes fear and scary images and gets people feeling and NOT thinking.

So tell me. What's an assault weapon?

What's amazing is the selective moral outrage of people and their elected officials who cry "gun control!" when these tragedies happen but do nothing to stop inner-city crime which also involves firearms and which claim many more lives year-round - while enacting/supporting policies which demoralize police, embolden criminals, and which have in recent years multiplied crime statistics, with both children and adults being victimized.

Every time there is a mass shooting like in Texas yesterday or in Buffalo ten days ago, we get mostly right wingers in here talking about Chicago or other violent inner cities. They seem to think people can only care about one type of shooting at a time. The mass shootings where a random person goes to a random place and shoots the place up is way different from gang members shooting other gang members. Both need to be addressed, but since they are so different, they probably need to be addressed in different ways. Most people can see this, but folks on the right seem oblivious to the obvious.

Yes, we care about all gun violence issues.

Really, then why when we see a rampage shooting do the usual suspects blather on about gun control ? We have gun control in most of the inner cities and well, it doesn't do squat. If people cared about both, they would see that our problems are more societal than they are about firearms. And be pushing our politicians to start addressing the root causes of these issues. Yes, it is much more complex than just a ban or restrictions but it will be the only way to help solve them.
