The two aren't mutually exclusive. Politicians who call for "better mental health care" after mass shootings usually vote against it later.

yes

if you wanna be bad, be bad up close and personal

don express your ire by throwing a bucket o rocks in a general direction

the fact is though, we have a 2nd amendment

it would take many safety states to redact it



another fact is there are more freedom states than safety states

the only way that thing gets repealed is people get tired of random violence

but we are american monkeys, we like to express our ire like the taliban



gun violence is artistic expression

protected by the 1st amendment

Regarding the six stabbings: Do you think he could have given the knife a twist? Six would be dead. If in the US, HE would be dead because someone packing a .25 would have shot him. Everyone should carry. . unless they have a criminal record.. Those guys will carry anyhow. It is not a case of mental health, but spiritual wickedness, and this manipulates the perp' People who do such things are EVIL.. and I know most 'modernists' reject that concept

Let me take this a step further: You are in Texas, It is 11 pm and you and your wife are finishing off a cup of tea, and about to head in for the night.

Suddenly your door is booted in and 3 guys wielding Machetes are doing a home invasion. You get the .38 and put them into eternity. End of hassle. In the US you can defend your loved ones and your home with whatever force is necessary. Up here, you can't..We are told to go and hide. Is this sick, or what?? Liberalism did this. I hate it.. and b t way, the Canadian bad guys have M16's and AK 47s.

but North of 49 WE have GUN control. (it doesn't work) You can't explain this to governments. However, a ten year old knows that thugs care less about the law, and will find ways to get guns. D-UH. Government is dumber than a dead brick.. but very good at manipulating and bullying

Either way, we are hooped and the good times are over. Forever.. just wait. You might eventually learn that the do gooders on the left are more dangerous than the crooks.. and the big difference is that the crooks are smarter

and b t way; ask any Army vet which is easier and less dangerous? If you are in close quarters. Disarm a guy with a gun? Or a combat knife?? He will say 'Gun' and break your wrist in the process. With the knife, you likely will still get cut.. or even slashed across the wrist

I loathe politicians. Regardless of how sorry they are, that's a much better starting place when honestly discussing the gun violence issue

Guns in the house factually, provably INCREASE your chances of dying, whether by accident or by suicide. If you have a gun in your home, you are more likely to die. The odds that you defeat a home invasion or stop a shooting are nonexistent. The odds that you kill yourself in a brief moment of depression are high.

To reiterate, and again, I must say that this has been PROVEN: If you buy a gun and put it in your home, you have just increased your chances of death.
