A certified NRA gun instructor took out the Minnesota mall stabber

I wonder what the gun murder rate is when you remove the inner city gangs (that Dems have sad they don't care about) and suicides.

Wow, blacks are 12% of the population, but account for almost 30% of all arrests.They are outperforming everyone.

Maybe this has something to do with the disproportionate level of police violence against blacks.

Why doesn't Obama just ask blacks to stop breaking the law? He has the bully pulpit. Has he ever said to the black community that it would be a personal insult to him if they break the law? The same way he said it to them if they don't vote for Hillary, it would be a personal insult.

As a conservative Republican who supports the Second Amendment, I come across quite a few gun owners. Friends, associates, and fellow gun show shoppers.

In the context of mall shootings, there are three types of gun owners.

1. The fearless types who have some perspective and walk upright like men. They do not fear Muslims or going to the mall. If their normal day does not involve carrying, they have not started to carry because of these mall shootings.

2. The type who are a little nervous about the mall shootings, and carry just in case they need to defend themselves or others in the one in a zillion chance it will happen where they live.

3. And then there are the gun owners who carry constantly, praying and hoping they get to shoot themselves a Muslim. They fantasize constantly of being on Fox News, telling Bill O'Reilly how they plugged a raghead.


All three of these kinds of gun owners are Trump voters, for the most part, but for different reasons.

I'm in group #1, but am not a Trump voter.

Sadly true. President Obama's reaction seems to be to ban guns. If we're going to ban guns, why not just ban them for the mostly likely offenders?

Firearms are absolutely harmless on their own… Fact

All over the news, wasn't it?

Of course not, because it goes against the bullshit liberal narrative of the MSM that the NRA is evil.

A good guy with a gun killed a bad guy with a knife.

Deal with it Libs. Who knows how many people the NRA instructor saved from injury or death?

Of course they have to add suicide...they couldn't get the number that high without them......

Still far, far, far, far, far, far higher than the Muslim murder rate.

Since you seem to think suicides don't count, maybe we should give more guns to more Muslims, and that way more of them will kill themselves.

Oh, wait. More guns also means a commensurate rise in homicides, too!

Gosh darn it. So much for trying to separate out suicide from the proliferation of guns as if it is not related to the homicide rate.

Actually, you are wrong again....up till 2015 when the police stopped policing for fear of lawsuits and jail, the gun murder rate was going down as more people bought guns and actually carried them.....

in the 1990s there were 200 million guns in private hands, and in 2016 there are 357 million guns in private hands...and the gun murder rate up to 2015 went down 49%......which means you don't know what you are talking about......accidental gun deaths went down as well....

And in 2014.....the non gun suicide rate was higher than the gun suicide rate...so wrong again....

There is nothing that you post about guns that is remotely accurate or factual.....

Agreed. Of course, the same is true of 36 oz sugar-filled soda drinks, but Democrats/Nanny Staters believe that if we ban them, people will be saved from themselves.
