    Also we're going to blame guns for police incompetence I don't understand why so many people are so desperate to let them off the hook.

    People rioted when one single thug high on fentanyl died but 19 children die and no one gives a ****?

    Yep, just like butthurt R politicians not wanting to cancel a festival, so they ban guns. Which is opposite of what they say. More guns makes things safer. Obviously, they don't believe what they talk. Actions speak louder than words. And they are showing hypocrisy.

    What aboutism doesn't show hypocrisy it shows you will do anything to avoid the subject.

    Or you'll do anything to reeee about the tribe you disagree with.

    I'm not interested in this little brow partisan nonsense if you want to talk about the subject I'll do that.

    Pointing out the hypocrisy of RW politicians is not whataboutism, it's showing their hypocrisy. And what they really think about guns being in public spaces.

    Is some obsession you have and I don't care about it.

    The subject here is musicians canceling a festival in Atlanta none of which has anything to do with Florida or its governor.

    So mentioning any of that is just a distraction because you don't want to talk about this.

    I'm not taking your bait.

    It is much easier to keep weapons out of events with limited access points due to the ability for security to screen them, especially through employing metal detectors.

    I don’t understand why you and yours always love to bring up CA and NY as examples:

    Just by looking at the maps you can see where guns are completely unregulated

    all this does is keep the people who aren't murderers from being armed the people who go there to murder people would probably find a way as they don't care about such laws.
    because there's a higher number of murders there than most other places. Chicago Illinois in Baltimore Maryland are also pretty high up there.

    and What We gather from this is nothing really at all.

    These are murder rates not numbers of murders.

    In a state with a lower population with fewer murders is it going to have a higher murder rate than a state with a greater population it's called dishonesty and statistics.

    That's why people refuse to use real numbers.

    Also how many of these gun deaths are suicides 2/3 of them? How many of them are murders at concert venues I'm willing to bet less than 1/1000 of a percent.

    When there is enforcement and a secure perimeter then it doesn’t matter what “murderers” want

    Almost like there is more people there so the numbers are higher.

    LOL. Yes, per capita numbers are “dishonest”

    How dare someone use fairly basic statistics to discuss something. I see this is rapidly devolving so I am going to bow out. You win!

    Sounds like the solution is legal liability reform.

    Stop holding businesses responsible who are not responsible.

    If someone murders you, the business should NOT be responsible.
    And cut off money to the family too. They don't deserve it.

    well if you think such things will end all murder I don't agree but you know think whatever you want.
    yeah hence the dishonesty of pointing out murder rates.

    That is an effect of dense population or sparse population not really a result of gun laws.
    well yeah it's a ratio of gun related death would be offset by the general population.

    There are far more murders in Chicago in Baltimore and New York City the amount of people around you don't really matter except for to draw a dishonest conclusion.

    Well you're typing an argument and then saying you want to bow out which seems dishonest.

    The statistics you use for gun deaths which includes suicides this is dishonest and you know it is that's why you're bowing out, I caught you.

    I know this subject is pretty well so if you want to try again.

    Just the first of many to come in many states.

    I sure as hell wouldn't attend a public event with a bunch of drunk, armed, rednecks.

    Some will. Some won't. Those that don't will create a market for more private arenas where civil rights can be suspended as a condition of entry.
