Statistics much?

Calm down. No one is collecting your gun.

The RATE of drug usage in Canada is higher than the USA, yet they don't have mass murder by gun in large numbers like the USA.

You either slow or you don't like stats much.....11.7% of USA's 328 million population = 28 million(In 2020)

POPULATION OF ENTIRE CANADA = 38 MILLION. Do the math, unless you're saying 75% of Canada's population are drug abusers then you point is comical!

What part of rate or per capita do you not understand?

It's people like you that will claim Nigerians are doing well more than Americans living in Vermont by just going off GDP without taking per capita into consideration.

Are you going to blame drugs for the below too?

Maybe the toddlers and kids below was on drugs too.

3 years old kills 8months old brother with gun.
10 years old kills brother with gun
8 years old kills brother with gun
2 years old kills father with gun
2 years old kills sister 4 years old with gun
10 years old kills 10 years old brother with gun

e.t.c.

Look at the dates, all 2022 except for 1. And 2022 is just passed halfway.

You have a point.

But why can't the Democrats just agree to restrict easy abortion.

I'm sure you saw what I did there.

Lol

The 2nd amendment was created in the days of gun powder and not semi automatic rifles.

Of course. I support tough guns laws, and I also don't support easy access to abortion except the life of the mother is at risk.

I do not support either party, but I will call out wrongs when I see them. This topic is about parents that died from shooting; hence, my discussion about Republicans and NRA.

Remember this thread....... Aiden McCarthy, the little boy whose parents were said to have fled during the July 4 shooting by a suspect now in police custody, Robert Crimo.

Kevin and Irina McCarthy, his parents were indeed unlucky as they were killed. The boy was lifted from underneath his father during the attack in the Chicago suburb, which has left eight people dead and 46 injured.

What I feared most has happened.

I just instinctively knew the child's parents didn't make it out alive because of the stupid actions of that 22-year-old yob!

Thanks to all worldwide so far for the empathy in these trying moments.

America is crazy unsafe country.

Not really only if people have been paying attention to what has been happening, All this can be traced to one thing. Election of Barack Obama !!!!. I know some people won't believe this but as an Analyst, I deal with numbers, and number trends always serve as guides to what the future holds. In the history of the USA, two Presidents have ever won their elections with over 300 electoral votes. Roosevelt and Obama what really made Obama tally stands out were the facts that he won both times despite not getting more than 30% of the White votes both times. 28 and 25% to be exact. Obama election was the awaken call to the white population that the country's future demographic trends weren't going in their favor. To make matter worse the advent of technology made things even worse. No longer is high school education sufficient to put one in a middle class. All manufacturing jobs were been shipped to China. It has been a rough 15 years for the white population. The divide going on in the country I am afraid is going to get worse before it gets any better. Until certain parts of the Constitution are amended I am sorry to say it will remain like this. A constitution that was written in 1800 by men that were slave owners has to be changed to reflect the new realities of the 21st century. In a modern society, South Dakota and North Dakota with a combined population of less than 4 million shouldn't have more Senators than California with a population of over 40millions. More people live in the Borough of Brooklyn New York than in both Dakota states.

I earn money daily from taking surveys at the comfort of my home using my mobile phone. I'm willing to share this legit way of making money daily only to a few persons that are interested and willing to learn and put their time and energy to it.

You need a mobile phone with good and strong internet connection, If you have enough time (this is best for students on strike) you can cash out at least 4k naira every 24 hours. There is room for more but know the more you put the more you earn.


If you are interested in learning please contact me on whatsapp and I will put you through.

Interestingly, that yob's dad liked a post supporting easy access to gun after the little kids (uvalde school) bodies wear torn apart and unrecognizable with bullets from an AR-15 rifle.

He even sponsored the killers gun permit application. I wonder how he feels now that his son is a mass murderer.

I used to dismiss the idea of a Civil war happening in the USA, but sorry to inform you but the trend lines in telling me this might actually happen. People that have lost hope when it comes to their survival are the people ones need to pay close attention to. I have been in this Country for over 30 years and I have traveled both working and vacationing in over 45 states of the Union. People in Abbeville, Eufula, or Ozark Alabama are not the same as people in New York or Chicago even though both sets of people share the same real estate as far as a country is concerned.

Go back to my initial post and see all the reasons posted there, stop fixating only on drugs, how does a toddler get access to a gun, this is parental negligence and nothing else. If you studied American history you would know that back in the 80s and early 90s, America had less mass shootings but something changed with the decline of traditional family and the rise of social media, mental illness and drug use. Please stop trying to wiggle your way out of valid points!

Because criminals don't respect laws. The guns on the streets with no serial numbers are cheaper than buying a phone. The reason most Americans will not give up their guns is simple, when these criminals show up to rob you at home, at your car, office etc, you don't have to wait for police to come, you can defend yourself from those mofos.

Restricting gun laws only accomplsihes one thing, the criminals have weapons and the law abiding citizens do not. America needs to pay more attention to drug supply, mental illness and the decline of the traditional family. These kids are growing up with hate and extremist ideas, life is no longer precious, death is seen as bravery......SMH!

So your solution to a gun problem is more guns in the hands of more people?

The last couple of mass shooters actually bought their guns legally.

@jimetagambo,

Thanks for the screenshots.

Like the saying goes, you don't go throwing stones in glass houses.

There's a cause-and-effect situation in existence based on our thoughts, words, and actions. That yob's father is already being served what he cooked!

This is an opportunity to have an elevated look at the gun ownership laws again.

The solution is to treat the root cause rather than looking at the symptoms. Guns don't kill people, people kill people! American liberals would rather ignore mental health, the collapse of traditional family and the domestication of the male role, drug abuse etc but focus on guns because it is easier to target than to recognize the entire society is a failure.

Guns kill people

Other countries tackled guns (I can provide a list) and the problem stopped.

None of the recent mass shooters have issues with domestication of male role, mental health, traditional family, drug abuse, and all these issues you blame for the US gun problem.

You are echoing the talking points of gun advocates in the US.

You aren’t a realist. You are echoing the talking points of gun advocates in the US. I live in the US. I have a CCW. I am speaking from a point of view of a user and being physically present. Nobody is asking for complete gun removal. Because you come up with a list doesn’t mean it’s automatic to work.

While raising funds for the kids is a good gesture, it cannot resurrect the lives that were wasted.

Over 6 different mass shootings in different places happened on July 4, with over 60 people critically injured and close to 20 sent to their graves.

The Spirit of Lawlessness which Apostle Paul spoke about will be in the Endtimes, is raging Ferociously.

It is about time we take our relationship with GOD, very Serious, Because the Signs of the Imminent Coming of JESUS Christ are Everywhere. It is almost time. Take your relationship with JESUS Christ very Serious.

I would recommend checking in with a psychiatrist before it's too late. This is not a sign of fanaticism; this is psychosis.

You're still deluding yourself, I also live in the USA and work with very sensitive data, you are yet to show me a country that had severe gun violence and eliminated the problem by a gun ban. You said you're not asking for a total gun ban then what exactly are you asking for? Universal background checks? Mental evaluation? What exactly are you asking for if you're not calling for a gun ban?

I know America is divided into the liberal nutcase and the Foxnews whackos but I could care less about any of those views, either side is just as bad and only an ignorant person would think otherwise. Once again I ask you, where do you stand? Do you want to take guns away, yes or no? By taking guns away do you think the criminals, the gangsters etc will be at a disadvantage or advantage? Remember over 80% of the guns in the hood comes from illegal sales....THINK ABOUT IT!

P.S. You cannot debunk a list over one incident, did you even take statistics in high school or college? You need a bigger sample, try sampling the past 20 or 30 mass shooters, if majority of them do not fall into either drug abuse, mental illness or terrible childhood then I'll accept defeat otherwise don't argue what you don't know!
