Shooting at outlet mall in Texas

[miketx]

The NRA is where a big part of this problem came from. People want to ban firearms because they are afraid of them. They are afraid of them because they know nothing about them. They know nothing about them because the NRA quit pushing firearm training in high school back in the day (60's) and focused on making manufacturers more and more money and political division.

It's not the nras fault people are stupid.

...What distinguishes the United State, and especially red states, are permissive firearm laws that aid and abet access to firearms by the mentally ill.

Here are the states with the highest rates of gun death per 100,000:

1. Alaska (23.0)
2. Alabama (21.4)
3. Louisiana (21.2)
4. Mississippi (19.
5. Oklahoma (19.6
6. Montana (9.0
7. Missouri (18.8
8. New Mexico (18.2
9. Arkansas (17.7
10. South Carolina (17.7)

The five states with the lowest gun death rates, in deaths per 100,000, are:

1. Massachusetts (3.4)
2. New York (3.9)
3. New Jersey (4.1)
4. Hawaii (4.4)
5. Rhode Island (4.6).

Countries with the Highest Total Gun Deaths (all causes) in 2019

1. Brazil — 49,436
2. United States — 37,038
3. Venezuela — 28,515
4. Mexico — 22,116
5. India — 14,710
6. Colombia — 13,169
7. Philippines — 9,267
8. Guatemala — 5,980

In contrast to the U.S. and Latin America, gun deaths are extremely rare in countries like Japan, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Australia. These countries have implemented incentives or passed legislation to decrease the number of firearms in circulation. For example, in July 2021, Australia implemented a permanent gun amnesty program, in which unregistered firearms could be anonymously surrendered at police stations.

Japan boasts a population of more than 127 million people, yet finished 2019 with a gun death rate of only .02 per 100,000 people. One major factor in this success is that Japan has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world.

Your inability to refute the empirical data is noted.

I suppose you could look at it like that. But had most people had firearm safety training growing up, they would be a lot less stupid and a lot less afraid of firearms.

I blame their parents. It is they who shirked that responsibility. The nra had nothing to do with it.

Seriously? Do you ever think anything through?

Children are the parents responsibility. Period. You want some large corp to be responsible. That stinks of leftism.

If you can't confront the reality that, despite the fake self-serving claims of firearm permissiveness in the Old West, visitors left their weapons with a law officer upon entering town, they'd receive a token, like a coat check, which they'd exchange for their guns when leaving town, then you can't.

Gunsters who slaughter innocent people - regardless of their ideological pretexts - are mentally-ill.

All nations have their mentally ill, and there is no reason to believe that the United States - nor even the red states where far more firearm fatalities occur - have more mentally-ill than anywhere else.

Your stats mean nothing without a cause or consideration being analyzed within the state's mentioned. The amount of gun's has nothing to do with it, but the amount of the poor and uneducated brainwashed who are listening to dangerous rhetoric being spewed, otherwise who choose various means of killing each other or others certainly does have everything to do with it. For some reason that isn't being addressed. Why ??

So the mentally ill or brainwashed choose a gun as their end all for their misery, and that's why the good citizen's carry gun's in order to counter them in their lawlessness that is then found in their evil and misguided endeavours.

Gun free zones are a complete failure, and giving up the gun's in order to allow government tyranny to reign supreme over us is not an option.

I don't buy the fake argument that the United States has such an obscenely high rate of firearm fatalities because of crazy people and poor people.

All countries have crazy people and poor people, but the United States, especially 'red' states that have much higher rates of firearm fatalities than 'blue' states, is unique in its permissiveness that facilitates its crazy people and poor people stockpiling firearms.

You love your country eh, and you served your country with pride eh, but on the flip side you find yourself agreeing with those who are purposely destroying the country. Now tell us how this makes any sense in regards to your happy camper ace, otherwise this while watching the destruction of America unfold all around you, and worse you being part of it ???

Who is "purposely destroying the country"? Or is this just your groomed fear, anger, and paranoia speaking?

 

[bodecea]

Beecause they say stupid things that I cant ignore

Stupid things such as?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

It doesn't take much to have to at least consider that maybe it's because we have so many guns, that we have so many gun deaths.

We know that ‘bans’ don’t work – whether it’s Prohibition, drugs, abortion, or guns; all past and current ‘bans’ have failed, in addition to being government excess and overreach.

‘Confiscation’ is likewise not an option – the consequence of the excessive logistical burden it presents in conjunction with clear Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment violations.

No solutions exist, therefore, that focuses on the number of guns or their availability.

 

[bodecea]

Bullshit. There's been nothing like this. You still haven't mentioned your fucked up school system. You hate this country.

So...you don't want employers held responsible for hiring illegals. How many illegals have YOU been hiring under the table?

 

[bodecea]

Google it, that's what I did. Your boy is the worst. He took inappropriate showers with his daughter. Keep moving the goal post to weakly, make excuses for him. You loons are evil.

You poor MAGAts keep pushing the lie with no evidence. Round and round we go.

Stupid things such as?

Anything that comes out of your mouth

We disagree on everything and agree on nothing

743.

I have not seen a video of biden showering with his daughter

But we do have video of biden pawing children and sniffing their hair

So at best he’s a creepy old man

A U-Haul van was used to murder 168 people in Oklahoma City. 168 is a lot more than 9 - seeing that you're a liberal you may need that spelled out for you. You can take away all the guns you want, it's the PERSON behind the crime that needs to be addressed. NOT the tool that person uses...

By a rightwing nut too.

 

[bodecea]

743.

Thought so....no wonder you don't want employers held responsible for the illegals coming to the US in the first place.

Yea, that cat is out of the bag. Dang near all of us have firearms. I really think the problem is multifaceted. No mental health system to speak of, division of the population by 24/7 political rhetoric online and on TV, drugs everywhere and drug sales is a large percentage of our economy, the never ending media coverage of every shooting, copycats, and several more I am sure. But I don't believe it makes a damn bit of difference if we sell more guns or not.
