    No and I have no reference material I asked for evidence and you are massively unable to cough any up.

    It's not like I like the little milquetoasts. It's just that they're not going anywhere.

    Yes you are and the evidence that you have not read the Mueller report nor understand what it’s findings are is most evident in your ignorant, inaccurate comments in this very thread.

    Are you posting from a foreign country? Your post makes no sense.

    Interesting in regard to this NRA story and Fox News....

    Fox has the story, but it's not easily found.

    On that site, they will have articles about some trivial thing in regard to AOC, and a story like that will have thousands and thousands of comments. One of their top stories is a story about some Navy pilots drawing penises in the sky for laughs. Has over a thousand comments.

    On this NRA story there is 30 comments! And many of those are not from the typical Trump supporting Fox crowd, the people, who you would think would be interested in the NRA.

    Funny, eh?

    Loser GOP, and loser NRA....Hope they all die a slow and painful death![/QUOTE]

    We won't die, either slowly or painfully.
    The NRA is not Wayne LaPierre, it is millions of Americans defending our rights. The "Russian millions" you reference was actually about $2500, which wouldn't buy a city councilman.
    Your slavish glee at your predicted demise of the NRA shows your lack of character, morals, and respect of our rights. EVEN IF the NRA were to fold up financially, (which isn't gonna happen, with 6 million dues paying members) the fight against the elitist, wild eyed, mouth frothing lefties like you will continue all the way to our doors, which you will physically have to breach to accomplish your goal.
    You would then by blown out of your shoes in self defense.
    Have a nice day, and dream on. Keep some tissues handy, your mom is tired of cleaning up after your premature ejaculation as you envision your communist, freedom hating fantasies.

    Typical, is more like it.

    It really is typical of most media to focus on stories that they think will appeal to their audiences. Stories about GOP graft, Trump failures (especially abroad) go on the front page of the Times or the Post, but get stuffed in the Wall Street Journal.

    Fox takes this to extreme.

    There was almost no substative reporting on the contents of the Mueller investigation on Fox. Instead, the viewers got their usual steady diet of car chases, leggy news models, and reactionary spin.

    "Gun culture" is a promotional mystique contrived by the NRA for its profit.

    For crackpots, it is a religion, and the exposure of the fakes who have exploited the faithful may help restore normality to America.

    The united states has always had a strong firearm culture, ever since the very beginning. This counter movement arguing against firearms is relatively recent.

    "Firearm culture" is a promotional contrivance by which scoundrels like Squinty LaP have been able to scare and fleece the hapless. The high level of firearm fatalities (In the US, the probability of being shot is 40 times greater than in Canada, England or Germany.) has evoked popular support for sensible restrictions, but the prospect of repeal of the 2nd Amendment is merely a scare tactic that has some weeing their frillies, and being shaken down by the NRA protection racket

    The mythos of gun permissiveness in bygone days is fake. Americans were always able to protect themselves from wanton gun slaughter by common sense precautions:

    Then go about demonstrating the proof of such. Show that such is indeed factually correct.

    Demonstrating what these so-called "sensible restrictions" are, and what they actually amount to.

    None of which is relevant to the discussion at hand.

    This list goes back to the 1800s.

    List of rampage killers (Americas)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rampage_killers_(Americas)

    Maybe the reasons are the same for the surge in Opioid deaths?

    Why do you suppose mass shootings have become common?

    What should be done about Opioids? Nothing?

    First, the list cited on the part of yourself does not go any further back than the year 1976, thus meaning there is no evidence to support the claim such killings were being committed back in the nineteenth century.

    Second, the list cited on the part of yourself includes examples that did not take place in the united states, and thus do not count in the discussion. At least thirty nine of the examples cited did not occur within the united states.

    Third, even if all one hundred and thirty eight examples are accepted at face value, statistically that amounts to less than four mass killings a year, which is hardly a statistic that is worth getting excited about.

    Excluding the numbers that did not occur in the united states, the number of mass killings in the cited forty one year period statistically amounts to less then three incidents per year.

    Which is what, precisely?

    It is not that mass shootings have become common. Rather it is because the news media has made the public more aware of such instances, and they are perceived as being common, when in truth they are not.

    As to why mass shootings are occurring in the united states, this is primarily the fault of the news media glamorizing and romanticizing the incidents, and incentivizing them. The moment word of a mass shooting has been committed, various news outlet channels are flooded with round the clock coverage of the event before the bodies of the deceased even have the chance to cool. The names of the victims are easily forgotten and left without address unless the victims can be exploited for political gain, while the perpetrator is covered extensively. The name of the perpetrator is repeated constantly, their photo is plastered over multiple screens, every minute details of their lives is covered extensively over the days, weeks, and months following the incident, giving the perpetrator a degree of fame and recognition that they never could have achieved otherwise. This serves to glamorize mass murder, and encourages others to engage in copycat crimes so that they can be just as infamous and remembered as the previous mass shooter, simply because they want recognition.

    If the news media would stop the fanatical coverage of such incidents, there would be little incentive for others to engage in the commission of such. If the perpetrator is not made famous by the news media, and none of their details shared with the world, there would be no reason for others to do the same as they will be ignored just as they have been before they killed so many.

    Indeed. Perhaps it is finally time for the society of the united states to experience the full, overwhelming weight and cost of their desire to see illicit substances made legal for recreational use, and comprehend just what they are asking for. As those indulging in such substances die off in large numbers through overdosing, and left to decay where others must walk through their daily lives, the significance of their decisions will be made quite clear to them. No one will be able to claim ignorance, and that they had no idea of just how dangerous the use of such substances was. Eventually there will be no one left to become addicted or die of overdoses, and the matter will solve itself. That is ultimately what is desired, is it not?

    If individuals wish to knowingly engage in reckless and criminal behavior, they will suffer the consequences of their actions one way or another. They are obviously being done no favors by their government fighting so hard to keep them alive through prohibitions and regulations, so perhaps it is time for a change of pace, and the consequences of their decisions made as plain as day. When children have to see their parents, siblings, and friends laying dead in the streets and on sidewalks as their bodies decompose while others have to walk over them, they will understand the true societal cost of the use of illicit substances. They will no longer question what is wrong with the recreational use of illicit substances, as they will understand why such narcotics were prohibited in the first place.

    If the public does not wish to accept that there are certain substances that should not be used, then allowing them to experience the folly of their decisions is the most logical course of action. The more the matter is resisted and fought, the more they are glamorized and desired by the public. It would be the most logical course of action to engage in, seeing as how everything else has failed.

    So shootings and opioids are no big deal. Okay.

    What is a big deal? Getting murdered by an illegal immigrant? Getting your red hat knocked off by a model?

    Except for the fact that no such claim was made on the part of myself. The above claim is nothing more than a misrepresentation on the part of yourself.

    Irrelevant to the present discussion.

    What like jobs and opportunity and adopt the leftist version of "Believing anything on the Internet"? I think we have more then enough democrat propagandist peddling their brand of bullshit! A little variety of manure is a little less socialist then only being able to roll around in one type of crap :)

    So shootings are a big deal?

    You said of them:

    "hardly a statistic that is worth getting excited about."

    Just trying to figure what is a big deal. People go on about all kinds of stuff.

    One could say it's all much ado about nothing, just a bunch of exaggeration and the stoking of fear.

    It's weird this thing I've noticed...people say white supremacy ain't nothing, it's the left and the media making a big deal out of it. Then the same people make a big deal out of Antifa and red hats getting knocked off and other things of that nature. Sort of inconsistent.
