    Shooters are picking schools because they know there isn't likely to be an armed resistance.

    None, obviously. Criminals are criminals because they have no intent on following any law.

    I quite agree. It's moronic to blame several hundred thousand gun owners as well.

    And now “copy and paste” will return with, “you don’t know” or some corny copy and paste

    Uvalde was staged by the Democrats.

    No, shooting a nutcase like this to save lives isn't Clint Eastwood or Barney Fife. It is simply shooting someone to save lives.

    I don't hug my gun, but I do wear it.

    Isn't 2/3s of all "gun violence" suicide? Usually a single shot from a pistol?

    COVID 1 in 12 but mainly for the "masks don't work" and anti-vax dumbasses. Not really a loss.

    Fatty foods, lack of exercise and smoking kill more; Heart Disease 1 in 6

    Time to ban McDonald's? Require all who eat there to register with a doctor and get a license? LOL
