    Democratic policies have turned the major cities into war zones.

    If you want a bottle of whiskey then you should pay for it. There is about a 99% chance that this robber who is trying to steal that bottle of whiskey has robbed numerous times before. Good to get them off the streets and the best way to do that is to shoot them because the courts would have just let him right back out. Criminal's lives don't matter.

    This thread is all about those exact kind of people deciding TO arm themselves because they now realize that Democratic policies actually make gun control beneficial to the criminals. So, Truth and Justice is not keeping up with changing public opinion.

    Your scenario is unlikely. Possible, but not the norm. You are stretching.

    The scenario you described is actually highly unlikely. Maybe you can post all of the links where this scenario occurred.

    We all want bad cops fired. It's important to remember that everyone sees something different and all perspectives are valuable:

    A woman trained in martial arts can take out a 225 lbs rapist/killer in seconds.

    You make it seem like the left and only the left are constantly clamoring for gun control legislation on a continuing basis. I can tell you that it is factually false. I personally know of five friends of mine who are very strong supporters for gun control legislation. It might be more accurate to say that "A majority of the left......" as opposed to painting an entire group of people one way when it's not factually true.

    That is a fair point I have a suggestion to get a more accurate picture of who it is that really pushes it one needs simply examine the gun laws that have been added in the last oh you know 10 20 30 years and see who sponsored them and who pushed them through.

    What a ridiculously foolish notion.

    Are you unaware that being hit in the head was such a thing like a skateboard and cause great bodily injury or death?

    Do you think being hit in the head with a sledgehammer or a baseball bat is good for ones overall health and well-being?

    I suppose I would need to hit myself in the head with a sledgehammer a few times in order to understand the "logic" in your comparison

    I would tend to agree that most, if not all gun laws were sponsored and push through were from a majority of the left with some support from the moderates and some of the right.

    There’s a long history of skateboards being used as blunt weapons. Go take one against a watermelon and see what it does. You ever held a skateboard before? Go volunteer to get hit in the head, since you’re making jokes about how innocent it is. 2 hits and you’re dead. If it’s made of wood, one knocks you down and the second caves in your skull. It’s like a bat or worse when used on it’s side.

    Spin it all you want. Democratic policies have led to more crime, which has led to public opinions swaying away from gun control to arming themselves. If you doubt me, just look at all of the recent elections where blue states are turning red. Oh, and there is that link in the OP which also proves my point.

    And with less safety due to these irrational and dangerous Left Wing policies, less prosperity.

    BLUE STATE BLUES: As Fed Contemplates a Move, Democratic States Lag Furthest in Jobs Recovery.

    "Hopes to restore U.S. employment to its pre-pandemic level, an aim of the Federal Reserve and the Biden administration, now rest on a recovery of jobs in New England and California, a potentially troubling fact for the president's Democrat Party ahead of critical midterm elections and as the Fed plots a possible turn to tighter monetary policy."

    "States with Republican governors was close to 99 percent of what it was in February of 2020, while Democrat-led states lagged" by 4 times that.
    "Employment fell more sharply in" the Blue Karen States "and the gap has remained even late in the recovery."

    "Recovery has come faster" to the Freedom and Liberty Republican States. "Of 10 states that had more jobs in October of this year than in February 2020, seven had Republican governors and another six GOP-led states were within 1 percentage point of their pre-pandemic job level."

    Choices Matter.
