    Not about gun control man. Just saying that mass shootings are a bigger threat to the country than “illegals”
    homegrown rightwing terrorists have killed more Americans in USA than Muslim terrorists.

    Anybody every heard of an illegal immigrant being a mass murderer?

    Trash just defunded two Obama programs meant to de-radicalize / rehab white extremist / terrorists.

    Except there's no vaccine for this. Are you saying a person who is in a situation where a mass shooting is unfolding is sentenced to die already? If so I disagree, which is why I say they should be armed. If it was smallpox, they should be vaccinated. You're saying rely on legislation to protect you from smallpox instead of being vaccinated.

    A vaccine is the body's version of being "armed". It doesn't stop smallpox from existing, but it does prevent/mitigate the damage it does.
    the point im making is that the legislation is intended to be preventative in nature, and its absurdly disingenuous to make the point you did (victims didnt have a pe ion while they were getting shot). i didnt say it would eliminate all shootings like a vaccine would eliminate a disease.

    Convicted of felony assault in 1995. If he purchased his weapon legally, then yeah, the current gun control provisions aren't working. Reminder: No sensible gun control advocate wants to ban guns, just make as hard as possible for felons and other mentally unstable people to walk into a Turners and buy a gun like he can buy lunch. It's easier to be legal gun owner in this country then to be a legal HAM radio operator. Think about that.

    While the legislation is being tossed back and forth for political scores, I'd prefer to have the individual ability to protect myself and my family. You can hope to rely on legislation. I prefer not to.

    Vaccines don't eliminate disease. They make you immune to it. The disease exists still.

    Long term solution is not my immediate concern. If everyone at that site in Aurora were armed, likely the guy doesn't try that. How many shootings like that occur in police stations? Surely there are some disgruntled police officers. They seem to occur where it's obvious people have no ability to defend themselves.

    This has been pointed out time and again. You won't get it though.

    Want to avoid disgruntled white dudes? You can avoid:
    —churches
    —temples
    —schools
    —movie theatres
    —concerts
    —night clubs
    —colleges
    —las vegas
    —your work place

    You know, just about everywhere in the country.
    Grocery stores too, that’s where the incel who was a huge Alex Jones fan shot Gabby Giffords.

    Pistols can be your friend or having one might make someone think before taking theirs out to use

    Too many monday morning QBs here. They don't get it that you cannot stop what you don't know to be happening, you can only respond as well as you are prepared to. This isn't a Sims game.

    This is the level of "give a " I associate with you most of the time. You probably concern yourself more with your choice of shoes than self defense.

    Outdated. Sophisticated firearms didn’t exist back then and a militia was force enough to handle a corrupt gvt . Now? Not so much.
    No one is threatening to take away yer guns.

    In what world does selling a killing machine to a former felon convicted of an aggravated crime make sense? "Well, he paid his debt to society, so he's a de facto free man now and should enjoy all the life, liberty, and happiness pursuits guaranteed by the cons ution." Sex offenders are typically banned from using computers/internet for life, banned for life from being within certain distances of schools, playgrounds, etc. This tramples on the sex offender's freedom of speech and freedom of association rights to a degree, but we all see it as a sensible post-incarceration restriction because sex offenders are recividist threats. Violent felons usually are, too.

    don’t even need to do that:
    https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/az/yuma/crime

    Yuma’s crime rate is worse than 85 out of every 100 US cities, so ducks promoting it as if it’s the Mecca of safe gun ownership is just his usual autistic bull

    Yuma also having an unemployment rate over 20%
