    I find fault with ONE amendment that has been clearly twisted beyond it's original meaning.

    None of these things prevent someone from shooting up a Canadian school.

    It is much higher in the US than anywhere in the West.

    A CREATURE like Salvador Ramos killed his grandmother, and then, for whatever reason, went to that school. He, or another creature like him could just as easily decide to gun YOU down in a shopping mall, or kick your front door in and blow YOU away.

    When we do anything to weaken the right of American citizens to DEFEND themselves from these CREATURES, all we do is make it easier for them to destroy us!

    So if you had it in high school, as I did, then this is not an original thought.

    Anyway those lectures don't work. The problem starts in the family, if there even is one, and then the neighborhood. Hopelessness and an expectation for instant gratification over the internet cannot be cured with classes. (How do you know this little piece of excrement didn't attend this mandatory course?)

    You made no points by ignoring mine and muddying the water. And accusing me of blame shifting when you blame guns for what's in peoples hearts is untrue, laughably hypocritical, and just plain weird.

    Australia did it over 20 years ago.

    Very few mass shootings since.

    New Zealand has followed its example, it will have the same results.

    Less guns in circulation, less violence.

    Yes, it is, and fascism was worse in Germany than it ever was in the USA. The Inquisition was worse in Europe than were the Salem witch trials. Let's not idealize Europe.

    Nor will it stop firearms transfers among friends/family nor will it stop the gun show loophole or strawman transfers.

    There needs to be a federal record of every firearm transfer in this country so the police can go question the originator of a transfer when a firearm shows up at
    a crime scene.

    A selfie of Martin with a gun was posted all over the internet, but then that selfie became racist and they were all pulled.

    You want to know what’s sad? Zimmerman was brutalized for several years by the media and liberals and all he did was defend himself. In a few weeks no one will remember who Ramos was but everyone will still be bashing Zimmerman the white hispanic.

    Prove it. Most of the murders in this country are committed by the people we’re not allowed to criticize.

    And when I was in school in the 70-90s there was little security. And guns were still everywhere. Whats the difference now? Breakdown of the family structure. Fewer 2 parents households with a stay at home Mom.

    I could shoot my BB gun or .22 rifle in the front yard in NJ and no one said boo. Could set up bow and arrow targets too. Local cop saw us, drove up and shot right along side us and gave us some tips.

    Now if you don’t have a leash on your child a neighbor might report you for child abuse if they’re unattended on your front stoop. You think I’m lying???

    Honestly, Golem, I had begun to think better of you than THAT!

    These old sayings have been around forever, but maybe you would improve your viewpoint if you considered:

    Very few mass shootings were stopped by armed civilians.

    And there are cases where even if everyone had a gun, the result would be the same.

    Contrary to the way things are up north, I’m not told to do anything here. I don’t have to wear masks, nobody forced me to inject something into my body, my kids are free to choose if they want to wear a mask (they don’t). Thanks to stand your ground laws, if there is an intruder in my house or property I have no duty to retreat and have the right to use deadly force if I choose to. I’m free to do whatever I want, nobody tells me what to do.

    If you want to import the third world you get third world incidents
    Much of this blood is on democrats hands
    Are you happy now?
    Also don’t forget to make another “blame Tucker” thread to take attention away from the truth

    Nevertheless, anything that improves the odds in favor of innocent American citizens gets my support. It has been proven many times that many of these brave, 'mass-murderers' types get quite a lot less brave when they know there's ARMED citizens among the 'sheep'... and that is even more true when those ARMED citizens start returning fire!

    You did shift the blame. You blamed the mother, you blamed the father, you blamed welfare, etc. I told you that once abortion is banned, we will have more welfare kids like the shooter, and I added that when it happens you'll blame everyone except those who made it happen.

    Blame guns....? Where did I do that? Is this Episode-2 of false witnessing?

    You have been misinformed. There is massive armed security at every RP/DP convention.
    Surely you know that.
