The Government probably counts mass shootings like they do Covid...surprised the Mass Shootings aren't in the Millions.
Which policy or policies of Joe Biden led to the inflation? Is it just a coincidence that the rest of the civilized world is also dealing with high inflation?
Is having the government in charge of baby formula part of the "small government" Republicans are always clamoring for?
More conspiracy theories? :mj07:
Did you see the Republicans blaming Biden for the baby formula shortage voted against the bill to do something about it? I'd layout the plan they had but, believe it or not, they didn't have anything. That's the Republicans in a nutshell. Blame the Dems for everything while offering zero solutions and obstructing anyone trying to help. How can you vote for these losers? I seriously don't get it.
Sure Gary, probably had 100 million extra for a Democrat project in it, they don't have clean bills they vote on. Hope this is helpful.
There's always an excuse to do nothing. The Republican Party is utterly worthless.
So out of the 652 mass shootings in 2021, 389 of them had one or more dead. That averages out to nearly two mass shootings per day and over one or more dead per day. Comparatively, the UK, which has banned guns, had its first mass shooting in a decade in 2021. The average number of school shootings per year in the US from 2013 to 2021 is 87. The number of school shootings per year in the UK is zero.
No, they prove it has to be done at the national level. Proof it works exists in the rest of the civilzed world.
How in the hell are gun regulations in a city supposed to work when they can go to the next city/state over? Are you stupid?
If we armed the teachers, this wouldn’t happen.”
I am an educator. A mentor. A helper. A guide. A light. I will not be relegated to a role of perpetuating this American culture of violence. I will not be complicit in the weaponization of myself and my fellow teachers.
“This is the price we pay for our Second Amendment freedoms.”
Why have many in this country decided that owning weapons outweighs the safety and lives of our children and teachers? How many dead students and dead teachers is your “freedom” worth to you? How high are you willing to set the price to defend an amendment that has been outpaced by technology? How is worrying about being shot at school or a movie theater or a grocery store freedom? Your paranoia and misguided belief that “courage is a man with a gun in his hand” has corrupted the original intent of an antiquated amendment.
We accept reasonable limitations to our other rights. Why is this such a struggle with the right to bear arms?
“Guns don’t kill people; people kill people.”
It is beyond time to limit access to tools used to kill more efficiently. Why are you so terrified of your neighbor that you need an assault rifle? Or feel the need to conceal and carry when you do your weekly grocery shopping? This is a reflection of you — of your need for false power, of your suspicions, of your cowardice — not a reflection of the society you purportedly fear. An AR-15 or other military-grade weapon serves no purpose other than that of destruction.
“This is an act of a mentally ill person.”
Stop equating mental illness as a requisite for murder. Start supporting mental health care. Start normalizing discussion about mental health. Start considering the mental health of those affected by gun violence.
“Now is not the time for politics. Now is the time to send thoughts and prayers.”
Thoughts and prayers comfort those left behind. They also assuage the consciences of those who plan to do nothing, who will continue to support the status quo because it is comfortable, familiar, and politically expedient.
