    So you don't think 769 murders is relevant to the discussion? Why, because it totally wrecks any and all outrage being focused on a very FEW mass murders in comparison ;)

    Ya the left is so obvious..

    How many of the 769 murders are workplace violence or would be classified as mass shootings?

    We are focusing on them because some of us have the ability to not derail every discussion. That is why we have individual threads divided into various categories in several sub-forums.

    Is that really important to your narrative, workplace murders? The other 769 are inconsequential?

    False — I cannot that you do not understand how the quote system works.

    The smilies just make it that much more hilarious

    Repeating your farce does not make it true.
    423,000,000 guns is the US
    1 out of every 41,470 are so are used to commit murder. 0.0024%
    If 0.0024% of those tested positive for Covid died from it - around 750 people - no one would notice enough to look for a new disease.
    Thus:
    Your statement has no rational basis.

    And thus:
    You indeed cannot demonstrate your "political gains will save ANY lives - and you do not care.

    But....
    Good of you to concede the fact you only care about mass shootings so far as you can use the victims for political gain.

    A point that has been demonstrated false.

    Only if you ignore the definition of typical and average and use per capita in its place.

    .... And you can't explain why guns are banned on military bases.

    You who claimed to know so much about guns in the US.

    This does nothing to mitigate the fact you know you cannot demonstrate your "political gains" will save ANY lives - and you do not care.
    Or the fact you only care about mass shootings so far as you can use the victims for political gain.

    You may not like the fact the typical perpetrator of a mass shoot in the US is a black male, or the fact that blacks are significantly over-represented as perpetrators in mass shootings - but YOU posted the evidence that proves both of those facts.

    Your dodging is laughable.

    For the third time: why are guns banned on military bases?

    Are you afraid of the answer?

    I think so.

    Unbelievable, but true. Comes up quite often... I'll point it out when it does.

    I won't comment on it though, because sensitive gun advocates will report my post.

    Not in the hands of felons and crazies, but rather law abiding citizens.

    The typical shooter is a white male and blacks are over represented in many crime metrics.

    The evidence I sourced shows this.

    I weep for America’s public education system.

    We will just have to agree to disagree as the numbers contradict what you are trying to assert as fact.

    It is an omission of the word help. Context clues would help a rational poster figure out what was said.

    And I said that where?

    What you and your ilk completely fail to understand is that if you make it such (through law or laws) that the chance of someone possibly being able to fight back is virtually non-existent, you will have idiots going on a shooting spree wherever and whenever that they want.

    The body count goes down or becomes non-existent with the appearance of (or the chance of) a second gun.

    Always.

    When you insult the intelligence of other posters it would probably help to proofread your own post first just saying

    Na, I have to give the professional proofreaders on the forums something to do!

    I didn’t have to insult anyone’s intelligence, their own posts did that by accusing others of editing their post when it was actually the way they formatted their post — the smilies confirmed it.

    Roll on the floor as much as you like...you’re still very wrong.

    Leaving aside the doubtful nature of your source, it refers to EUROPE. The UK is not Europe....it’s not even a part of it any more.

    The UK has a similar percentage of black people as the US.......read the numbers.

    Well dur, if you want to join in a debate about the claim that the second amendment is related to uprising against a tyrannical government then that is your choice, no one is dictating anything to you. Meanwhile you carry on believing that your pistols will defeat a government that is using military aircraft and cruise missiles and the
    ridiculous belief that all the little Johnnys will give up their lives just so they can keep their little pistols
