Almost One Mass Shooting A Day In Us - Topic

Sandra Parks wrote an award-winning essay about the constant shootings in her hometown of Milwaukee and elsewhere, and the emotional toll they have on young people like her.

"Little children are victims of senseless gun violence," she wrote. " ... I sit back and I have to escape from what I see and hear every day. When I do; I come to the same conclusion ... we are in a state of chaos."
Two years after she won an award for her essay, bullets shattered Sandra's bedroom window as she watched television Monday night. The stray bullet fired from outside her home hit the 13-year-old, killing her, CNN affiliate WISN reported.
"She took it like a soldier," her sister, Tatiana Ingram, told the affiliate. "She just walked in the room and said, 'Mama, I'm shot' ... The bullet wasn't even for her."

Two guys randomly shooting into a house.

Very sad story

Why should we listen to the Founders when they had slaves? I don't think they intended for everyone to have a gun, only millionaires.

We should all be Scalia's and just look at the words and apply them to today. It doesn't say that millionaires have the right to bear arms, or slaveowners. It is implied because only white male landowners were considered fully human, with there being a hierarchy of all of humanity in ranks underneath them on the race/class/gender spectrum, from WASP females to octoroons and mulattoes. But that isn't the case anymore; the Bill of Rights is thought to apply to everybody and not just perks for white guys now. White Identity politics has risen to the forefront as a response to this....the pendulum swings. Fags can't marry without some blacks and jews having to be harassed. They will use code like "urban crime" and "George Soros" lol.

want to have a serious discussion about gun control? ok, just answer these two questions, and admittedly subquestions.

1.) Democrats regularly call for "training classes" being required to buy a gun, so that owners are more responsible. What percent of Democratic gun owners do you think have taken Hunter's safety or a similar training class? Followup, answer the same for republicans. Lastly, answer for both parties when it comes to hands on training from family members, as opposed to going to a store and just buying a gun.

2.) What percent of violent gun crimes do you think are committed by Democrats, as compared to Republicans. What percent of violent crimes with illegally obtained guns are committed by democrats, versus republicans?

put the two together and you'll have a logical reason why the GOP doesnt want to have the talk. It's a discussion so that Democrats can take guns from everyone so they can stop the Democratic criminals who don't get training and overwhelmingly own the illegal firearms supply in this country. Meanwhile Republicans overwhelmingly take more training classes and own far less % of the illegal guns. Democrats can't police themselves, so they come after everyone, then blame the other side for not helping them police themselves.

If racism and misogyny are a right winged problem, that the right wing is responsible for changing, then gun issues are a left wing problem, and they're responsible for fixing it. so far they have no ideas on how to change their own stats without putting a chokehold on everyone.

You can’t understand, or I would rather say, why would you separate those two parties while they stand together around the world. You cannot say would a republican/Democrat pull the hammer.

Just a typical day in the USA, totaling 307 mass shootings so far on this the 312th day of the year.

Defining a mass shooting as a single incident in which four or more people, not including the shooter, are "shot and/or killed" at "the same general time and location."

This is insane.

The NRA has our govt by the balls and none of you conservative cowards are willing to stand up to them and admit that we need to have a serious discussion about gun violence.

A discussion is a 2 way dialog, you want to have a 1 way lecture.

Kek here we go.
It’s called an amendment for a reason. It’s a “well-regulated militia” for a reason.
I’m just not sure why you’re ok with little children being shot in schools without being able to say we really did everything we could to keep them safe.

I agree with the last point. There are actions we could take tomorrow and instantly make all the schools in the US safer without infringing on the 2nd amendment. I don't understand why there isn't an on duty SRO in every school in the United States today. I also don't understand why schools don't lock the doors so that there is only one access point into the building.

And if he is convicted at trial he should face a stiff penalty for his actions. I believe a gun used in any crime should get an extra 5 consecutive years tacked on a sentence.

why does it matter if a gun was used in a crime or not? It is a tool, it'd be the same if he used a knife.
