Gun Violence

[nsacpi]

No. But who makes the decisions on who and what kind of mental illnesses shouldn’t be allowed to have guns?

As a society we will have to decide this. If a family member thinks someone should undergo an evaluation we will have to devise a process that balances some competing interests.

30 victims of active shooter(s) in Odessa , Texas.

This is all happening while GOP and their followers try to decide what is and how to treat mental illness.

Get the guns off of the street ---- then decide what is and isnt mental illness

but not a student ID.

Okay, wait now. Wouldn't one of those definitively show where you live and that you're voting in the right place, while with the other you could be required to vote in an entirely different state?

No other rich country other than the United States has routine

mass shootings and such a staggeringly high number of gun deaths. This is

a uniquely American problem. Other countries have

video games and mental illness.

It’s the gun laws.

Gun deaths at historical lows in this county

[sturg33]

Anybody got any ineffective policies to undermine our liberty to suggest?

Gun deaths at historical lows in this county

" The suspect, described as a white male in his mid-30s, led police on a chase across the city while firing at people in various locations. Amid the chase, the suspect abandoned his car and hijacked a U.S. Postal Service vehicle. "

For all the quantitative numbers that crime is down --- tell me critical thinker how many times this happens in a place like oh say, ummmmm anywhere else on the planet.

Critical thinker -- please tell me what is different here than other places on the planet ?

So your point is, since crime statistics are down ---- we should just ignore the issue ?

Oh critical thinker --- please tell me about mental illness
or video games

something about a Christmas turkey

[57Brave]

" Of those 13 victims, two were treated and released; seven were in critical condition, yet stable after undergoing surgery; and two were in serious condition. One victim was transferred to a pediatric center because they were under the age of 2, and one victim died at the hospital. "

The world has shown there are effective policies to curb this abomination

" A gunman opened fire on residents, motorists and shoppers while driving near the cities of Midland and Odessa. "

Nothing on the knife attack in Europe that killed 9 people this weekend?

Oh right... that's not an easy way to take control of the citizenry

[thethe]

Still waiting to hear the real solution the left has always wanted

[sturg33]

Red flag laws are ripe for abuse.

And we have all that other crap already

Funny nobody responded to this

in this whole great big wide world
you counter with (or were told of) one knife attack clear across the earth that killed one and injured 9.

Even so, for a critical thinking big brained math guy cant see it doesn't quite work out to 5 dead 20+ injured v 1dead 9 injured
And it is still Saturday, we have 2 more days of holiday.


I take it you grill on Labor Day

Funny nobody responded to this

funny that no one responded to a hypothetical nonsense argument justifying inaction on proven methods that prevent things like what happened today in Odessa.

[57Brave]

while you guys argue over how to quantify mental health ---- I see a common thread - that can be very easily remedied.
It works across the globe so hey,
why not ?

Poway: AR-15
Aurora: AR-15
Orlando: AR-15
Parkland: AR-15
Las Vegas: AR-15
Sandy Hook: AR-15
Waffle House: AR-15
San Bernardino: AR-15
Midland/Odessa: AR-15
Sutherland Springs: AR-15
Tree of Life Synagogue: AR-15
.......

Which reminds me, my drivers license needs renewing ---
