Two RECENT US mass shootings. Where do we go from here?

[Richard]

Let's not forget the shooting in California last weekend. As is being reported, the El Paso shooter was after Mexican immigrants. Maybe Donald should stop with his dehumanizing rhetoric that he spews all day/every day. He IS part of the problem.

Two?

Articles state 250 this year alone.


Where do we go? You mean after we get the NRA's money out of the pockets of legislators and judges?

Numbers claim something less than 10% of all American households have guns, but that many of those have near arsenals. Why are we letting so few browbeat so many?

Never have so few been responsible for so much evil, or something like that.

There is no countrywide database where people register whether they own guns [[the law doesn't allow it). We have to rely on surveys instead. High quality telephone polls from Gallup and the Pew Research Center in 2017 found that 42% of people in the US live in households with guns.

Or is CNN posting fake news?

42% of households surveyed admitted they had weapons in thier house,I would say that number is actually quite higher,
so correct the few that do wish to regulate the many.

I will point out that even if your numbers were accepted without question [[something they never should be).....

If 42% of households have a gun, that means 58% do not. Which means the larger number of households are the many [[that would be the group without guns) vs those that do.

In other words, you disagree with your own stated facts.

No surprise there.

See that would be you tripping over yourself again.

I did not post MY numbers,I deliberately posted a liberal left link that listed thier numbers based on phone surveys.

If you have a problem with thier numbers you really need to bring that up with them.

My response was to somebody that posted less then 10% of US households have guns,clearly that is not the case.

So I posted a link that shows 42% of American households admitted in a phone survey that they have guns in thier household.

If a phone survey that does not include all the households in the US comes up with 42% based on a small percentage of a phone survey,it is conceivable that is a low number.

Coupled with nobody in thier right mind would ever admit to having weapons in thier house in order to be placed on a list,that number would be much higher levels then reported.

Even more so when somebody randomly calls a residence claiming to be somebody that there is no way to verify,asking about weapons in your house.

Which further dispelled the comment of the few trying to regulate the many,which is the opposite of what is happening.

Good to see the bump stock ban was so productive.

Hah, I bet most phone surveys like that are met with a 'click' or dial tone!!

It may get so tight you'll not tell even friends or family that you own a gun for protection in your home or out. No less some survey.

Hah. That does not matter, if you don't want it matter.

D-Trump's become, broad-stroke and in detail the embodiment evil and hatred. His words, and tweets, etc as presented and circulated have given evidence to that for most at just a surface glance.

Most wont look further. What's left to see!? Hah. We always knew evil existed [[despite post-modernist claims of relativism and most other secular yah-dah) and he fits the bill quite well......
