You must admit the bolded two above are true: MAGA is all about ginned-up outrage and perceived injustices ("rigged witch hunts" and "they stole the election!") and sick conspiracy theories (the little 5 and 6 year olds at Sandy Hook cut in half by an assault weapon were "crisis actors", right?) Just own it. |
NP. The GOP seems perfectly content with the fact that their long association with the NRA and groups that want to make all weapons available to all people at all times keep making these shootings possible. I'm not sure what else we are supposed to think. |

Until you publicly denounce the NRA and its powerful lobbyists and bought politicians, you guys on the right should shut up about guns and mass shootings. |
No what you believe and support is disgusting. |
Not glad. Just indifferent. In other words they don’t care enough to do anything that would stop this sort of thing. |
They definitely do. |
And, what you wrote is blatantly false. If you happened to catch the Sheriff of Jacksonville, TK Waters... he pointed out that the problem isn't the guns - it is the wicked people. It is the individuals who use the guns. And, I guarantee you - the guy who did this shooting was NOT an NRA member. You can watch at the 17:55 minute mark below. |
Mass shootings with AR 15s have NOTHING to do with easy access to AR 15s. MAGA
|
| It's the typical cycle...a mass shooting happens. Democrats say nobody needs an AR-15. Conservative politicians point this out and say "they're coming to take your guns!" which causes people to go out and buy more guns. And yes, the NRA loves anything that results in people buying more guns. |
| More people die from handguns than any other type of gun. Period. They're much smaller and easier to conceal. Tons and tons and tons of videos on YouTube exist to show you how to easily transform a Glock into what is basically a machine gun. AR-15 scare people because of the way that they look, but thousands of more people die per year due to handguns. |
Mansplaining dink in the house! You're right, mass shooters have no interest in AR 15s. see: Newtown, San Bernardino, Las Vegas, Parkland, Uvalde, Nashville, Highland Park, etc, etc. etc. "The AR-15 fires bullets at such a high velocity — often in a barrage of 30 or even 100 in rapid succession — that it can eviscerate multiple people in seconds. A single bullet lands with a shock wave intense enough to blow apart a skull and demolish vital organs." https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/2023/ar-15-damage-to-human-body/?itid=lk_inline_manual_10 |
How does that change any statistics? https://abcnews.go.com/US/type-gun-us-homicides-ar-15/story?id=78689504 Mass shooters? Honey, I hate to break the news to you, but virtually every single weekend in cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Philly, etc,.they have more shootings and murders every weekend that collectively are far worse in terms of total lives lost. They're all using handguns for the most part: https://data.baltimoresun.com/news/shoot-to-kill/ 9mm and Glocks are by far and away the gun police in a city like Baltimore encounter the most. A 40 caliber Glock is going to do serious damage no matter how much you huff and puff about AR-15. |
At least he needed a license to drive a car. |
Sure, we’re supposed to believe that you actually care about black-on-black inner city violence. GMAFB 🙄 |
