Again and again this is what we have to see. What is puzzling is why so many people are losing self control. Is it the microwaves in the aether? Is it too many people? Why don't they hesitate and ask themselves "Is shooting worth it?"

if you got a mix of people, and the percentage of dangerous is always the same - say 1%:

Give that 1% boxing mitts.
Assess the damage.
Give that 1% baseball bats.
Assess the damage.
Give that 1% knives.
Assess the damage.
Give that 1% musket loaders from 1800.
Assess the damage.
Give that 1% revolvers.
Assess the damage.
Give that 1% rifles.
Assess the damage.
Give that 1% rifles with high capacity cartridges.
Assess the damage.
Give that 1% rifles with high capacity cartridges and highly lethal charges designed to rip and shred.
Assess the damage.

We've always had dangerous people. I have no reason to believe the percentage has changed. I do have every reason to believe that the vast amount of damage that can be done by one individual has changed.

It seems to me that most Liberal goals, such as better education, more social services, and better health care are directly related to their distress over the conditions that cause violent places like Chicago to exist.
Also gun control, the more legal guns there are, the more illegal guns there are.

You cannot control the people because they have freedom of choice, and that's what you want to take away. You are not supposed to "control" the character of people, that's what you dont understand. And NO, you will NOT be making weapons harder to get for law abiding citizens. They havent killed anyone. Stupid argument you have, that's just like saying get rid of cars so no one else is hit by them. Idiot.

Even if we could control the "character of people," YOUR political party would make every effort to prevent the massive level of mental health funding that would be required to do that.

Finally something we MIGHT agree on. But then again, I'm for a national healthcare system, as I bet you are, but we will disagree on funding it. I want ALL Americans to pay the same rate, no matter if poor or not, I want EVERYONE to feel how much it costs and I dont care if the rich feel it more than the poor, we are all equal Americans here.

"The consequence is the highest gun violence rate in the modern world."

In the mind of primitives, that equals "freedom".

The NRA stood for gun control and gun safety until the crazies took over and made them shills for gun manufacturers instead.

"Owning a gun increases the likelihood of you being killed by a gun."

---Simple reality

But, on the bright side, Rush Limbaugh is still dead.

In other words, you're okay with crazy people getting guns.
We already have mental health provisions in purchases.

Yet, guns rights advocates say, all the time, that laws don't prevent gun violence. that a new law will only be ignored. So, why are "mental health provisions" more useful than say, outright bans of certain types of guns?

We make the choice that owning guns is a right

No, the constitution made that choice for us.

A choice made without the input of the vast majority of those impacted-i.e. women, PoC, Non-protestants, Asians, etc.

but the Second Amendment is the reason Democrats can't do anything about it.

Let me educate you, you progressive racist.

Democrats can do NOTHING about blacks killing each other. THAT, is going to take the black community and ONLY the black community.

Gun violence has nothing to do with guns. It has everything to do with the character of people.

NYS passes a law after 5/14 to make it harder for crazy people to get a weapon by looking at the character of people.

----------- immediately sue to stop the law and a republican appointed judge blocked it.

That's one way to put it. Another is that they passed a law trying to circumvent the ending of May Issue permitting and were rightfully shot down.

Thank you for making that clear, Boaz.
You're a credit to your race -- and your party!

Perhaps colleges need to start insisting their students' get scanned for brain damage before they allow them to play a contact sport.

The shooter makes me think of Michael Vicks and no that's not a compliment
