No way this stays on the news more than a few days. 1 minute ago, Rod said: It must be done already cause the libs here aren’t freaking out about banning all guns Just to humor myself, I checked out cnn.com and looked ... it's already off their top news stories and working towards being buried in their "Other top stories" section that you have to scroll down to read.

Voodoo Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) I heard the governor toss out the standard, thoughts and prayers, we will get to the bottom of this trope yesterday. Some problems have no solutions, quit offering up hope for the hopeless. Until there are no guns, and I mean no guns on the planet...people be killin' people with guns. Some people and places more than others, is a bit of a puzzler tho'. I got's no easy answers. Edited January 5 by Voodoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can list dozens and dozens of ways people die in violent manner more than in mass shootings....even with the newer definition where its mostly gang or family related. Reality is random active type mass shootings are not a huge problem in the us as compared to other issues.

Reality is random active type mass shootings are not a huge problem in the us as compared to other issues. Problem are in the eye of the beholder. Some don't see the homeless encampments in California as a problem. Drag time story hour makes some go loopy. Gang shootings in the hood go unnoticed by many. Whatever floats y'er boat, outrage wise.

It was one kid. Not to minimize the pain to the parents, but it's chump change in a country that had 48,000 gun deaths in 2021.

racer254 Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 20 hours ago, Highmark said: Because it doesn't fit the narrative. They want to blame it on the guns rather than looking at the DRUGS they are being prescribed. SSRI drugs are not a good thing. Everyone likes to discuss how this has gotten worse over the years......well these drugs were not being prescribed during times that we are comparing this too, guns were still around though.
