    Why should we make these shootings a political issue? Isn't our current policy of pretending that it doesn't matter working?

    I understand. You want all us peasants disarmed, to be greatly victimized by violent criminals and then beg government to save us. The more murders, rapes and robberies the better, for which the whole country is declared a FREE KILLING AND RAPE ZONE.

    This way, you can feel better about your not being willing to ever be able to defend anyone and can find comfort in everyone required to be a defenseless coward.

    As the saying goes, misery loves company.

    The British and Europeans are so violent and murderous they apparently recognize they can't be trusted with handguns. Probably due to inbreeding across centuries of warring against and murdering each other. But so murderous many still have the most mass killings over the USA and if Brits and EUs can't get guns they'll use knives, hammers, clubs, tire irons, any possible way they can find to kill each other. The worst, of course, are the Brits whose history is going all around the world in search of people to slaughter everywhere.

    Progressives want guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens - they could care less how many illegal guns gangbangers have and could care less if they kill one another.... They've been blaming all that on white people since forever anyway. Ghetto crime fits the "white people are evil" progressive narrative, so they wont talk about that unless they're demonizing white people in the process...

    The goal is to disarm law abiding citizens so a) they can rule in totalitarian fashion and b) they can set precedent to destroy the Bill of Rights hence justifying their totalitarian actions...

    Guns and the Bill of Rights gets in the way of the progressive totalitarian agenda.

    So which is it?
    "The truth is, Obama and government don't enforce laws already on the books"
    or
    "The fact that the states with the most restrictive gun laws are the one's that have the highest crimes"

    Both from your failed OP. You seem to be trying to say lot's of laws not enforced turn into high crimes.. Your words. :bye:

    Why does the Second amendment exist? Why did the founding fathers put it second in the Constitution?

    Governments around the world sieze firearms from the public so they can't fight back against tyranny and corruption.

    Hey, Snake, please tell us why Obama didn't mention the shooter asking his victims whether they were Christians and if they said "Yes" he shot them in the head. If they said "No" he shot them in the leg. And Snake, what STOPPED the shooter??? MORE GUNS!!! And IF those that were legally able to carry concealed do you think there is a possibility the shooter would have been stopped long before he was able to run up his score??? I have been legally carring for over 40 years and none of my guns have ever jumped out and shot anyone. I'll keep my guns thank you very much and you keep your phone right handy and we will see who comes out on the other side in the same situation.

    No, we don't "know" that at all. Why didn't someone wonder why that kid needed 13 guns? Yeah, I know it's a hunting community, but 13 - really?

    It is the disintegration of a society, brought to us by a government that never holds those responsible for their actions. Here is the liberal bleeding heart response to a harsh sentence, "he was a misguided kid at the time, we just need to understand", that is how (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid and destructive liberals can be to a society

    And proggies need to come up with better solution because the cities with the strictest gun laws have the most gun crimes.

    Of course those cities are mostly Black sooooo... clearly that's why you guys don't want to talk about it.

    Because then not would you have to admit failure of policy, you'd have to own up for rampant Black crime within generational Democratic strongholds.

    Ok, let's accept your premise that blacks are more violent. So in order to discuss gun laws, then cities with high a percentage of blacks must be excluded from any research. Statistically that is how proper research is carried out - you remove extremes at both ends. Cities in this sample with the strictest gun laws do have less gun crime.

    Total bull(*)(*)(*)(*), Chicago is a shining example how no one gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) about black lives mattering. Your spoon fed narrative always bends the facts, because the only people that follow the gun laws are responsible gun owners, not low life thugs, who you liberals support by saying they are just misguided and had a tough childhood. Change society by holding people accountable to the laws, and that is where government and liberals fall way too short.

    Maybe you can list all of those convicted of straw purchases in the last five years Pardy? You will find the number amazingly low

    Just spit balling here, if you are sitting in your car and someone comes up and sticks a gun in your face do you really think you can pull that gun and shoot before he can or do you get out the car and let him drive off.

    I just would like to know why when a young black man shoots down someone it is in our nature we are just violent folks, but when a young white man guns down someone it is a mental issue. Can someone explain that?

    Wow. That's a funny photoshopped map. It doesn't map anything close to the real map of shootings in the US.

    Of course he should politicize it. The is the only "civilized" country where this sort of thing happens on a regular basis.

    Why in heaven's name shouldn't gun violence be politicized? It hugely impacts society. The fever swamp browned their boxers over the Ebola epidemic that wiped out millions in the US last year and have politicized global warming, why not mass murder by guns?
