“Gun Violence in America”

[Dutch Uncle]

How would any one worry about nuclear annihilation since when if it occurs it will be over before they know it, we are getting back up to the "cars kill more," "fire back," etc., deflections from previously

First off cause they, along with the multiple other pseudonyms, are the same person, "copy and paste," and he thinks it is his way of backing out of an exchange when he has little to offer and saving face

Obviously you weren't regularly practicing Duck'n'Cover in school as a kid. LOL

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Yeah. especially when he is mascaraing kids in schools, seniors praying in churches, individuals shopping for groceries, unassuming young adults attending a concert, patriotic Americans celebrating July 4th, etc., etc., etc., the list goes on and on and on, numbers escalating by the year

Yeah. I wish more Americans gave a shit about the mentally ill. Most of them aren't violent, but most suicides* are from depression. Depression is the #2 most common mental illness behind anxiety disorders. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/mental-disorders

https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/index.html
Suicide and suicide attempts cause serious emotional, physical, and economic impacts. People who attempt suicide and survive may experience serious injuries that can have long-term effects on their health. They may also experience depression and other mental health concerns.

*about 2/3s of US "gun violence" until Trump fucked up the US COVID response.

"pp" coming on regurgitating Fox talking points looking for a deflection

NEXT

/shrugs.....not a deflection......its an accusation....

 

[Celticguy]

No one does when we don’t know precisely the numbers on guns, how many were shot and how they were shot, only the ignorant proceed in the dark claiming they know the way

the FBI knows

 

[Dutch Uncle]

the FBI knows

As do State agencies and local LEOs. The problem is both the funding and the will to fix the problems. Mainly this is a generational economic problem.

Poorly educated people with no job prospects are often upset about it. If enough of them become upset all at once there the nation sees problems like with BLM riots and 1/6. All are basically losers with little to lose.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

No, no need or desire, and I live smack in the middle of one of those areas you people think are ridden with crime and murder

then you are part of the problem and have no right to cry about no 'good guy with a gun' because YOU should be one.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

With the having to resort to the "freedom" cliché you pretty much confirmed the fact that you just can't accept the truth, regulating guns is not eliminating a constitutional right, all constitutional rights can, are, and have always been, regulated, guns are no different, even Scalia confirmed it in his majority opinion in Heller

every historical piece of documentation from the founders clearly indicate that the feds had zero power over the arms of the people. THAT is the truth. the only ones who want the rights of others regulated are cowards, those who need government to make them feel safer

The dem pols chose to enable the problem not fix it.

Fingering blame never fixes the problem.

The first step to any problem is to know there's a problem. I doubt anyone disagrees upon the nature of the problem. The controversy is on how to fix it....and libs aren't the only part of the controversy.

What is your solution for city gang problems? Aren't most criminal organizations funded by criminal activities from banned shit like drugs, guns and, now, abortions?

you would think that prohibition would have given them that answer, but I guess maybe it's the nature of government to continually chip away at freedom and slaves to demand it.

I know you like to blame the government but the reality is we get the government deserve because Americans keep voting them into office.

Your violent revolution approach won't work since this is a cultural problem, not a single entity/group problem.

If you really want democracy, you have to be willing to live with the consequences.

Not old enough, but I was in the Army when they told us we could survive an atomic explosion by digging a whole and covering ourselves with our poncho, even showed us a film, film obviously left over from the 1950’s, was right up there with the marijuana film the made us view

as long as those consequences don't infringe on my individual rights, i'm fine with them...........but if that 'culture' is so greedy as to deprive me of my hard earned property because that culture wants it, that's not democracy, that's tyranny......

As I’ve said before, we will never know who’s the next shooter will be, the parade shooter’s family didn’t even know, and we can’t protect all targets, the only common variable to all these shooting we can have some control over is what makes it all possible, the gun, solely focusing on mental health is a deflection

the FBI knows

Wrong, all State and local numbers supplied to the FBI are voluntary, even the FBI itself questions if they have even sixty percent of the real numbers

then you are part of the problem and have no right to cry about no 'good guy with a gun' because YOU should be one.

Guess you missed the part about not needing one, and why would I, or anyone, want a gun since the mere presence of a gun greatly increases your chances of being a victim of gun violence

the problem lies with idiots like you thinking that you can stop the next shooter. you can't. you never will be able to. in trying to 'limit' the carnage, you feel you can remove a right of the people and make it an exclusive privilege of the privileged.

I read it from you before, and dismissed it for the lie that it is. when shit hits the fan, the first thing YOU do is look for the arrival of someone with a gun. that alone blows your idiot 'greatly increases' argument to shreds.

You were an adult. Imagine kids growing up with the idea that they could be vaporized in an instant, if lucky, or spend a few weeks starving and running at both ends from radiation poisoning.

Bullshit, anyone can ping pong the “historical pieces of documentation,” and if the Founders believed as you erroneously do, why didn’t they include the right in the First Amendment where they specifically listed by design all the personal rights and freedoms of citizens? (mike drop here)
