    Are you serious right now?

    I know US news dominates, so everybody on the planet seems to see the USA in a fishbowl, but seriously...


    Even if you look at mass shootings per capita, the US is way below all those countries the left constantly points at and wants to mimic.

    https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/mass-shootings-by-country

    Wait, how are those other countries even having mass shootings as nobody can get a gun.


    The entire argument of the gun grabbers is 100% emotional and complete devoid of facts and logic.

    And you're wrong, because you're only looking at it from your perspective.

    Meanwhile, I thought I'd note this incident because it's a story some would perhaps like to overlook.
    The Near Mass Shooting Most Media Won't Tell You About

    Katie Pavlich, Townhall

    A woman with a concealed handgun stopped a mass shooting this week after a man attacked a graduation party in Charleston, West Virginia. . . .

    Unless, of course, the thug has a knife, and I have a gun.

    No, I'm not. I believe I've been clear about that.

    The suicide rate in Australia is around 12/100,000, not 5.7.

    Totally LMAO!
    Really?
    That is a BS "Stat"...:bored:
    The KEY Question is THIS:
    How Many Mass Murders Which WERE:
    Random, Indiscriminate Attacks in Public Places, in Which None of the Victims Were Previously Known to the Perp, are White Males Resonsible For?
    ^Take that into account, and that BS "Stat" (that you cited) goes right out the window...

    Nice try, But EPIC FAIL...
    Next...:bored:

    Not because the guy holding the knife didn't want it to be so, just like the guys dumping mags at me didn't want me to survive either. I'll give you one guess why I'm still here...

    The suicide rate in Australia is 12.1/100,000 not 5.7/100,000. Much of what these folks are told is disinformation. :)

    Here is an interesting study of how hanging suicides increased at the same rate firearm suicides decreased during the 1975 to 1998 time period in Australia.

    The truth is often just too politically inconvenient for the MSM to report.

    “A woman with a concealed handgun stopped a mass shooting this week after a man attacked a graduation party in Charleston, West Virginia.

    "Police said a woman who was lawfully carrying a pistol shot and killed a man who began shooting at a crowd of people Wednesday night in Charleston," location Fox 11 reported about the incident. "Dennis Butler was killed after allegedly shooting at dozens of people attending a graduation party Wednesday near the Vista View Apartment complex. No injuries were reported from those at the party. Investigators said Butler was warned about speeding in the area with children present before he left. He later returned with an AR-15-style firearm and began firing into the crowd before he was shot and killed."

    If he had time to stab you he would have had plenty of time to shoot you

    I'm sorry, it sounds like you were around at the time and you're not familiar. Those were separate events.

    Well this is my problem with statistics. 5.7% suicide rated probably just suicide by guns. Or it's an old statistic it's somehow being manipulated in a way it makes it seem like less of a problem than it is and it's then used to prop up gun laws.

    The only purpose of all gun laws is to make sure the population does not have power it's not about crime it's not about safety.

    Because we all know criminals will simply just break the law that's why they're criticals.

    It is a manipulation by the government I just can't believe all these people are such lemmings.

    Please govern me harder Daddy.

    This isn't a republican Democrat thing either. I learned about some of the things Ronald Reagan did.

    They want this to be a conservative leftist Republican Democrats dichotomy because that's the wedge they're hammering in.

    It's a liberty issue.

    And why did he not finish the job? I know you're getting close but you don't want to say it! And the other guys, can you think on it and figure out what could have possibly changed the outcome of the event? Who told you knife guy didn't also have a gun? Were you watching and not helping?

    Lol you're trying to dig yourself out of a hole. A person armed with a gun is more of a threat than a person armed with a knife

    How were they unprepared exactly? They have armor and guns too. They knew it was a single shooter who had already executed children. What else were they waiting for? The better equipped officers did nothing except wear some military gear and rough up the parents. The door wasn't breached until a school official gave them a key.

    It was just a few months ago when the teacher's union, as a condition to return to the classroom, wanted the police out of schools. Just saying.

    The first officers to arrive just happened to be in the area. They were not prepared. How would they know it was a single shooter? They did not see him go into the school. The better equipped officers had a shield which was used while entering the classroom. ASAIK, It has not been confirmed whether the shooter was already dead by the time they entered the classroom (suicide)

    I see you're still running from the answer. What stopped the guy with the knife? How many guesses do you need? You clearly have no idea what weapons are capable of, even though people in the UK are stabbing each other like crazy.

    Lol. So that one with a knife. Would he have preferred that you had a knife or a gun?
