ACLU helped remove metal detectors in my majority minority city in the 80s/90s bc they are discriminatory. At white majority schools they are allowed for safety. 🤔 |

| I think poor people are living more in reality where they aren't raised to some ideal they have to reject or not live up to. This makes them feel less like failures. Lots of people are messed up so if they are messed up too they actually might fit in more. They dont have as much money to pull it off and aren't around kids that most Americans would care about as much. There still are some. Uvalde was a minority majority school. |

What are you both talking about? In 1994, President Bill Clinton, and former Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Joe Biden successfully banned assault weapons when the anti-crime law was passed. At the time, there were approximately 400,000 AR-15 weapons in existence. The House of Representatives flipped to a Republican majority when Republican George W. Bush was elected President. Bush allowed the assault weapons ban to lapse despite promising to re-enact the law if it was passed by Congress. It wasn’t. Yet, he did not invoke EO. Worse than that, he had the power to sign the ban before the 10 year sundown. W Bush caused the surge of assault rifles when the federal ban expired in 2004. In 2022, 24.4 million AR-15s and similar assault weapons were in existence. The NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation) advocates for keeping guns out of the wrong hands, estimates that there are over 30 million Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs), which include AR-15s and AK-platform firearms, in private circulation in the U.S. as of early 2025. Congress failed Americans by not reinstating the assault weapons ban in 2004. W failed at EVERYTHING— weapons of mass destruction were here in our country, 9 11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine. Never forget racist Mitch McConnell who swore he’d prevent a 2nd term for Obama who was fiercely focused on passing the affordable care act. Mitch facilitated the current Supreme Court Injustices by manipulating Obama’s appointment. In this deeply racist country, all roads led to Trump: "I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day." "I think the guy is lazy. And it's probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is. I believe that." Donald Trump, entered into the the Congressional Record https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record...tion/article/S6073-2 W, McConnell, and Trump are a scourge on our country. Their fate will not end peacefully in the physical or ethereal worlds. |

The only way to stop a bad kid with an AR-15 is a good kid with an AR-15. Clearly we must arm our elementary school kids. |

Democrats are terrified of gun control. If the US was a safe country, it'd be different. But the DC police commissioner talked about how the average murder suspect in DC has 11 felonies.
Which is breathtaking when you think about it. If the Courts would just put these violent men in prison, we could have a different conversation. But the Courts don't, so we have these incredibly violent men around us with no recourse from the government. So people are taking self-protection into their own hands because of the extraordinary failure of the judicial system to deal with violent crime. If Democrats would knock it off with their equity crap, we could have sensible gun laws. In the meantime, many people are going to choose their own self-protection because the Courts have proven to be useless when it comes to getting violent men off the streets. |

You realize those people with 11 felonies aren't going into schools and churches and shooting them up, right? We should do something about gang and drug violence too, but that's a different problem than what gun control is meant to mitigate. Different problems have different solutions. Shocking, I know. |

You don't think gun control is meant to mitigate deaths due to gun violence in communities with gang and drug violence? huh? |

No, not really. I generally agree with the idea that serious criminals will continue to find ways to get guns. Those often use handguns, which were not likely to be able to put meaningful controls on in the current market political climate. Poverty drives gang and drug violence. That's what we need to address to mitigate gang and drug related crime. But that's not what drives mass shooters. |

JUST HOW DANGEROUS ARE FIREARMS ???
There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. population 342,000,000 as of September 2025. Do the math: 0.000000925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant. What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death: 65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons 3% are accidental discharge deaths So technically, "gun violence" is not 30,000 annually, but drops to just 5,100 in a very large country. Still too many? Well, how are those deaths spanned across the nation? 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (an increase over prior years) So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have the strictest gun laws in the country, so it is not the lack of gun control laws that is the root cause. This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California (with strict gun and ammunition laws) had 1,169 and Alabama had 1. Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course. It not guns causing the CA deaths. It is a crime rate spawned by the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So if all cities and states are not created equally, then there must be something other than the tool causing the gun deaths. Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in comparison to other deaths? All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, rape, assault all is done by criminals and thinking that criminal wills obey laws is ludicrous. That's why they are criminals. But what about other deaths each year? 40,000+ die from a drug overdose; primarily fentanyl from China 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities(exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide) Now it gets good: 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital! 710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It s time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If Obama and the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease, even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides.....Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions! So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It's pretty simple.: The taking away of guns gives control to governments. The founders of this nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace. Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs. So the next time someone tries to tell you that gun control is about saving lives, look at these facts and remember these words from Noah Webster: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force at the command of a Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power." How do you feel about the current administration running our country? Remember, when it comes to "gun control," the important word is control," not gun." |

You attended those autopsies and/or saw the photographs and read the reports? Or you read an article that somebody wrote about what they thought? Sounds like your personal sample size is zero, “RN.” |
