    What are you not getting that it was not state sponsored genocide. It was citizens made over a white man being killed.

    I'm talking about in size and magnitude. None of the shootings you've mentioned even broke double digits.
    That was state sponsored genocide. It was not a mass shooting as we commonly define it. If I can't include terrorist acts in with mass shootings, you can't include state sponsored genocide either. Should Germany include all the Jews who died by gun shot during WW2 in with the number of people who died in mass shootings?

    People only say that when they either hate something or don't care about it.

    What good is a locked up gun if you need it in a time critical emergency? And I don't give a **** about suicides, those intent to off themselves will find a way, firearm or otherwise.

    Sacrifice? I understand it perfectly. It's the willingness to pay the ultimate price for an idea. Which I pledged to do. You, on the other hand, based on your comments have proven yourself to be a domestic enemy to it. And sure, it WAS written (mostly) over 200 years ago. But they also wrote in a way to change it when appropriate. So do that, or live by it. As far as I'm concerned, you're a traitor.

    I'm sorry, did you include your sacrifice? I didn't see it.

    The willingness to lay down my life to defeat all enemies (to the Constitution), foreign and domestic. I'm older now, and disabled, but as far as I'm concerned that oath still applies.

    And a person who says "f*ck the Constitution" is definitely an enemy.

    Claiming you're willing to do something isn't sacrificing. Actually going out and putting your life on the line, and bleeding on the battlefield for your fellow soldiers is.

    And BTW, soldiers don't fight for god and country, they fight for each other.

    A lot but not all and many are not even documented - take Bladensburg all we know is that someone documented being told that there was a leap of skulls in a waterhole then there were the poisonings where arsenic was mixed wth the flour and rations

    It is a dark and mostly hidden history

    While I expect virtually all nations are attempting such things worldwide, at which point have you seen me "applauding" it?
