Just another day of a goober exercising his 2nd Amendment freedoms in Red State Merica

It's like living in a gangster movie, only without Humphrey Bogart saving the day. You ex-patriots in Japan, and the Japanese people, too, have no idea how good you have it. I want to return and have a life without dreading the phone call that someone I know was shot. The answer is not more guns, the answer is fewer guns. Most people don't care. Here, we're all numb about it, when we aren't worried or angry.

And the Repubs solution to endemic gun violence...
More guns...except at Trump rallies - those are "no-gun-zones"....
Utter insanity...

Selling weapons to its own citizens is not just crazily greedy .... it's cruel.

Guns R US

How many more victims before something is done? 400 million firearms but only 6 million are registered.

So you are finally admitting that there are many upon many illegal guns out there and gun control is worthless. Also we need your figure of what percentage of gun crime was done by registered gun owners. As a statitician, please help us out.

I'm not admitting anything than I have posted a million times. Gun control is not worthless and works very well in countries that have them. The percentage of illegal guns would be known if legal gun owners registered their weapons.
All guns leaving the factories are legal weapons so at what stage do they become illegal?
Bob Fosse
Difficult to say.
In Kentucky, where the shooting in this article occurred, guns are legally not required to be registered.
Do you know how many other states also do not require gun owners to be registered?

No, the answer is not more guns, it is no guns.

Legal gun owners do register their weapons that is why they are called "legal guns."

And the Repubs solution
Nobody knows if this is a Democrat or Republican supporting nutcase shooting at people on a highway and besides it has nothing to do with anything.

You can buy gun parts online without ID verification.
Ghost Guns
Unserialized. Untraceable. Unregulated.

They do not otherwise there would only be the 6 million registered guns. 48% of American homes own a firearm.
Legal guns mean the weapon and the owners meet the requirements of their state gun laws. Nothing to do with registration.
Bob Fosse
Did you know that there is only one state in the US that legally requires registration of all firearms?
Did you know that a firearm registry is actually prohibited by federal law and that the vast majority of states do not have a legal requirement for gun owners to register firearms?
Amazing, isn’t it?

I don't have to accept snide comments from you or anyone else. Don't tell me to relax when you know nothing of me. Stop claiming I'm left-wing.
I have made numerous comments blaming all politicians for the serious lack of gun laws and you already know that.
You are opposed to all and any gun laws so live with the outcome of that.
bass4funk
Well, that goes both ways, right? I’m sure you would agree with that.
But you know each of us conservatives?
You are not a conservative on any level, it kind of narrows it down.
Relax! Yes, I know, but as I told you, the GOP doesn’t trust the government and rightfully so I might add, so they will never move an inch on the second amendment. Maybe if the Dems wouldn’t use guns or gun tragedies to gain political points then perhaps there could be a middle ground, but time and time again, the left knowing they can’t and will never do anything to subvert the second amendment, they will politicize the issue and I think that’s disgusting and dishonest.
Yup!
DaDude
Said similar after the Georgia school shooting and for people to have sympathy for the victims. Instead I was basically met with comments that they deserved it because they voted for this. I guess I was the dumb one for not thinking that high school students chose their own fate by not voting for gun control. Nobody told me 15 and 16 year olds could vote there.

Posting snide and nasty comments is wholly a reflection on them rather than the target of the comment. I don't post snide comments about you.
Don't tell me to relax when you know nothing of me.
Your co-op out is telling the poster to relax.
Stop claiming I'm left-wing.
I consider myself to be independent and capable of making my own decisions.

Yes again "relax". Gun laws can be introduced without changing the Second Amendment.
You are opposed to all and any gun laws so live with the outcome of that.
Yup!

Ok, fair enough, but you have never taken any conservative position on any issue that is important to conservatives, never. So while you say your opinions are your own, they are liberal 99% of the time, so you may not be a liberal, how you address the issues and nowhere near conservatism. I don’t like any of this as well, but at least I’m a realist. Liberals make conservatives nervous when it comes to their bloodlust desire to confiscate guns, and yes, it’s starts with the AR-15 and then the left will find another excuse to grab another and another gun.
These things don’t happen at once, they always happen in small increments with the left.

you need to stop associating me with others and groups.
Both the Democrats and Republicans are fully responsible for the lack of sensible gun laws without any changes to the Second Amendment and without the total ban on gun ownership which I have never promoted.
More than 60% of American citizens want more sensible gun laws, especially with the mass shootings of children.

Readers, please stop bickering.
Bob Fosse
Conservatives have been saying the liberals will take away your guns for the majority if not whole of your lifetime.
Has it ever happened?
Legrande
Republican or democrat makes no difference neither has done anything to solve this.
All of these horrible incidents have been occurring under the Biden/Harris watch.
Underworld
Legrande
The Republicans control the House, so Biden/Harris don't get to pass serious gun legislation. Biden did, however, sign into law the first major gun safety legislation passed by Congress in nearly 30 years.

Remind me, which party killed stronger gun laws after Sandy hook, Parkland, Vegas, Uvalde and Maine?
Oh, that was the GQP.

American gun homicides increased during Trump's term.
bass4funk
And no doubled under Biden’s. Again, why do you think law enforcement supports him. Yeah, don’t go there, that’s an argument you would lose all day. Too many videos, they are sick and tired of the lies of this administration when it comes to crime and illegals, that’s a fact. Now if you show me any major department that supports this administration I’m willing to lend an ear.
bass4funk
These are numbers that the left never factor in and this is the thing that is infuriating to law enforcement, the left complain about guns and shootings, but the left do not want to accept the stats because it doesn’t fit their political narrative, you can’t just look at one racial group or demographic, you need to look at everything in its proper context and perspective overall, put all the factors together and not exclude the ones you don’t like or don’t want to talk about, that’s dishonest and you can never have a serious debate on the issue, ever.

Again, this is another problem the left refuses to talk about and Trump will do this all day and Kamala better have a straight answer for this, no notebooks, earpieces allowed.
John
Like everything else you post, this is an easily disproven “misstatement of fact” perhaps intentionally so.
ALL crime went down under Biden to a 50 year low.

So just MN and what about the rest of the nation? Not California??? Not NYC ??? Hmmm so the highest crime states don’t get her support. More shootings to be expected
