sanpipita:
what did you just say.

saxywale1:
There are 130,930 schools in the USA.
Multiply it by 4 them by $100,000. That's north of 50 billion dollars per year.

Simple truth is that the states can't afford this.
As per the federal level providing grants, there are other competing projects that need funds as well.

Maybe the states with lax gun laws can approach the NRA for funds.

saxywale1:
AR-15 rifles are feared because they fire high-velocity bullets at triple the speed of a handgun, are accurate over long distances, and cause devastating wounds.

Parents would have chopped wotowoto too if they let the parents barge in. Doing so could have helped save more lives till some tactical unit arrives.

I lived in Nigeria, when a lot of police men hear the sounds of rifle being used by robbers, some of them take off their uniforms and flee the scene.

saxywale1:
Why would a regular police officer walk around with stun grenades? You watch too much Hollywood movies.

Care to tell us why they waited?
I expect you to say that they are part of some conspiracy as usual.

saxywale1:
A border officer is not a police officer.

And if I read correctly, it was the border tactical unit and not just 1 border officer.

Why would a police officer or officers risk their lives facing a shooter with a semi automatic when all they have are hand guns?

saxywale1:
This is just ignorance at its peak. I would overlook this post because you do not live in the USA.

saxywale1:
Police were called when the shooting started in Texas, but I think they got scared of the assault rifle and stood back. They must have heard the sound of the type of gun going off.

There is no law that requires them to intervene. They need to go home to their family too.

benalvino3:
They are losing their minds in the US.

The fbi not doing they job adequately.

benalvino3:
She reported to the wrong department if this is true. Just like the Buffalo shooter, he was arrested for threat to shoot up a school and yet both were able to get fire arms. I think they should look deep into present laws.

benalvino3:
If this is true, they are all mad in the states.

Texas shooter was arrested 4 years ago for planning to shoot up a school when he turned 18, says Rep. Gonzales on Fox.

benalvino3:
as of recent, from 2011 shootings have increased to 70%.

before there is shooting once a year or even 2 to 3 years intervals... now it is so bad.

AmazonTopaz:
You are just a clown.

Mass shooting is a common phenomenon in America you are the one politicising it yet cried fake tears when Beto confronted Abbott in Texas.

Something is really wrong with you instead of addressing the issue you are blaming it on elections.

saxywale1:
1950 to 1975 is a wide range of data and also old as well. Technology has advanced since then. We could also talk about socio economic factors and so on.

However, gun violence has always been around in the USA from the times of the Wild West and to the prohibition era and till date. There have been several attempts of failed bills and acts passed to regulate and curtail gun violence to an extent.

A few below:
Please read up on the gun control act of 1968 and what led to the act. If you want to read further, you can also read up on the brady handgun violence Prevention Act of 1993 or the 1934/1938 acts.

saxywale1:
I beg to differ on point 1:

I can't think of any developed country at the top of my head that has lax gun laws like the USA. Basically, there are lots of guns in circulation and research as always pointed to the fact that lax gun laws leads to more gun deaths. Basically, there are too many guns/assault rifles in circulation. Let's not even go into the loophole of private sellers from guns shows that helps buyers to bypass background checks.

Universal healthcare would not have saved those kids that got their fragile bodies torn apart with bullets from an assault rifle. Mental health care is also very expensive as encompass a lot of care and support from social workers, case officers, police officers, security guards, mental health doctors & nurses, emergency wards of hospitals (people can suddenly flip), missed diagnosis, care homes e.t.c Just last month, Abbott slashed $211,000,000 from the budget of the state department that oversees mental health programs.

However, I agree with your 2nd point:
Multiple systems, high cost/wages for healthcare professionals, high cost of medications, defensive medicine, government not taking a larger role on controlling cost, adminstrative cost e.t.c. has made the healthcare system expensive and not excellent.

Finally,
The kids killed have not even been buried yet, and the NRA convention with some GOP attendees like Trump, Cruz and Abbott is going ahead at Houston tomorrow. I expect to see protests.

Gun violence in states per capita 2019 and 2022.

Ibime:
I guess you were under a rock when he announced over a month ago that he will release 100m barrels - 1m a day to help cushion the price of crude, from the stock of 1bln barrels. To be foolish is one thing, to be foolish and not know it is another. The strategic reserve is for times of war like this.

---Kellyanne Conway wrote in her new book that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election---

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/24/kellyanne-conway-yes-trump-lost-00034625

Kellyanne Conway: Yes. Trump lost


One of Donald Trump’s most steadfast aides acknowledges in a new book that the president lost the 2020 election and says he was ill-advised by campaign staff and the election deniers who surrounded him.

“Despite the mountains of money Trump had raised, his team simply failed to get the job done. A job that was doable and had a clear path, if followed,” Kellyanne Conway writes in her memoir, “Here’s the Deal.” “Rather than accepting responsibility for the loss, they played along and lent full-throated encouragement (privately, not on TV) when Trump kept insisting he won.”

I wrote a little piece of fiction purely for the entertainment of the brethren.
But sorry, it was not designed to make sense to a senseless idiot like you.
Check back on your posts;
They almost all contain the phrase, "criminal Trump".
When did you convict the 45th US President of any crime, mad man?

Obrigardo:
There is this stupidity among criminal trump fans. They will howl about a bogeyman, the one they can't touch or do anything to. The one they can smear and defame to their insane mind-fvcked dumb ilk, but then they quietly ignore the number of republicans who have actually been arrested for voter fraud. They even ignored criminal trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows who committed blatant voter fraud. But, yeah, 2000 mules. What a height of stupidity i've ever seen.

benalvino3:
At basilico, they have started making arrest in Arizona.

There are some BIG developments in the Election Corruption Investigation in Yuma County, Arizona.

Possibly including Law Enforcement raids on non-profits potentially involved in ballot trafficking.

Liberalism is a mental disease

Timiofak:
Lol, we are all watching it unfold.

Exactly my point that mean he doesn't care about climate change he only cares if he is making money

Because if does care he won't support climate deniers.

Timiofak:
Lol, if I see billionaires defecting from a party to another, that means the party is doing something right

Elon musk is a douche.

Claims to hate climate change so much that he supports climate deniers. Lol, the joke is impossible to make up.
Half the people he is supporting won't even touch his cars with a ten foot pole

I don't see any reason for him explaining himself, vote republican that's his concern.

If he reduces his offer for twitter, they can as well not sell, lol it's not like they are bankrupt? Or are they?
