Just hours after the mass-shooting on the beautiful subways of Democratic NYC, the governor gave a lecture that the violence has to stop.

I guess the criminals weren't listening though because just hours Governor Hochul "It was to stop" lection there another shooting in in the Bronx.

4 people shot in the Bronx is just another day in NYC. I hate to say it but I think there are just way too many sociopaths out there who are delighted by these regular acts of violence that New Yorkers seem accustomed to.

“Nyaa, they’ll never catch me now see?”

I believe in order to own a gun, there should be some level of standardized basic training provided, by a state if necessary, in the safe operation of a fire arm. That includes dealing with situations like these in a consistent, clearly laid out, well planned manner, so that the good guys all have a process in place to prevent this very thing from happening.



There was just an incident where a store owner chased a thief down and tried to shoot him. He missed and accidentally shot a young girl three times in the arm instead. That doesn't mean we should stop responsible gun owners from being able to defend themselves. It just means it's another day in America, and another random act of violence. We have plenty of laws in place already, yet the rate of violence and homicides continues to grow. Sometimes, you have to look at many different approaches to properly deal with a problem.

You know - if this was a foreign entity coming in from the outside shooting up private citizens, we would have a cow.

Because it's our own people doing this - we rub our chins and look at why the guns (as if they had a mind of their own) are shooting up all of these people.

Just a crazy thought on my part... what if foreign entities are paying DA's and local governments to put these criminals back out on the street to cause chaos and mayhem - as part of a war strategy? Or part of a depopulation strategy?

We could lose 3000 people with planes flying into towers... we could lose 3000 over a period of time and get used to it and point the finger at each other.

We could tighten this up real quick in how we handle people who commit crimes. That would involve getting our hands dirty, coming together and electing good people to government.

We could also tighten this up by straightening out our family structure so that we don't put kids in a situation that makes it easy to become a criminal.

Every person we lose has a skill or talent that can no longer be utilized to benefit their company and their families and the country.

I'm just thinking big picture here.

Criminals do not stop shooting, ever. You must physically go on the streets to stop and frisk them. Which will prevent a lot of shootings before they ever happen.

Sorry for the breaking news Democrats.

When you shut down most of the countries mental institutions, & put all those sick people out into the streets, this is what happens. It is that simple.
