Hi, PeasefulWarrior.

Yup. More guns in the United States of America means more Americans dead from gunshot. Way to go! Be exceptional, America!

Republicans. Gun laws have nothing to do with the murder rate.

Idaho has a lower murder rate than NY, despite NY stringent gun laws.

Those 'militia' gun owners you mock do not represent the threat you constantly post about.

Address the culture where the shootings occur...or just admit you really dont give a shit about the dead and are just using them as a prop to promote your agenda.

Culture.

The shooting occurred when an altercation inside the event venue spilled out into the street, police said. Officials reported that there were at least 15 bullet holes in the glass of the catering hall.

Gun Violence Archive is an anti-civil right site that uses a made-up definition of "mass shooting" in order to increase the numbers.

I would say that you could do better, but I doubt it.

Hi, Justabubba.

Yup, block parties, schools, baby showers, and all sorts of places.

Curiously, and some supporter of the Second Amendment would have to explain this to me, our federal legislators don't permit good guys with guns into the galleries of the chambers to protect them against a bad guy with a gun. I don't know if open carry is allowed in the galleries of state legislative chambers. Maybe those worthies are more interested in living up to the slogan and protecting themselves from some armed deranged person who managed to smuggle in an AK-47..

Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . 'n un-shot.

Your belief that federal legislators are not protected by people with guns does not mesh with reality.

Your link for the O/P doesn't say anything about a child being killed or even present at the baby shower. Isn't one thirty in the morning a bit "late" for a baby shower? I'm betting a fight broke out because people were high on something other than a new life coming into the world.

Succinct, and nothing really more needs to be said but as we both know, they want guns out of the hands of all people, those who aren't even a part of the violent culture in this country.

Maybe they should go make these sorts of threads in places so that the violent perps will learn something, (my tongue firmly planted in my cheek).

Yep, hard for the gun banners to admit that's their agenda.

There is nothing unique about American culture other than our gun culture. People in our peer nation's watch the same movies, play the same video games, listen to the same music and so on. What is the difference between US and Canadian culture? They even live in the same types of homes and drive the same vehicles. Yet, their homicide rate is a fraction of ours. Walk around a city like Paris, there are neighborhoods full of immigrants, there are black neighborhoods just like there are here (for those that want to blame our homicide rate on black people), you hear hip playing, yet their homicide rate is a fraction of ours. When you compare us to other high-income democracies, our homicide rate is 3 to 6 times that of any other peer nation. Why is that?

You totally misrepresented my point. I said nothing about a gun culture. There is no such thing as a gun culture.

We have a "violent culture" that needs to be addressed but instead it's being ignored by those who want to ban guns. Violent people use guns and other weapons to solve their problems in this country. Until we, as a society, address the real problem, a violent culture, nothing will be solved.

Growing up in the rural South, I’ve witnessed firsthand the prevalence of gun culture. It’s a significant aspect of life here, and its influence is undeniable when considering that 85% of homicides involve firearms. This statistic holds true even in nations with lower rates of gun ownership, where firearms still account for the majority of homicides. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/

The reason behind this is quite straightforward: firearms are designed to be highly efficient tools for killing, at least on an individual level. Take hunting as an example; if it were restricted to bows, the number of game harvested would be significantly less than what’s possible with firearms. This isn’t mere speculation; it’s a reality acknowledged by anyone with hunting experience. The availability of guns doesn’t just affect hunting; it influences potential criminal behavior as well. Without easy access to firearms, not every would-be murderer would resort to knives, as stabbing someone to death is not only challenging but also poses a risk of self-injury. Furthermore, the willingness to commit such an act isn’t universal.

While the personal ownership of firearms cannot be banned due to constitutional protections, it’s naive to ignore the consequences of a nation flooded with guns. In the United States, there are over 400 million guns among a population of 320 million. This abundance makes it alarmingly easy for criminals to acquire firearms. For instance, if merely 5% of gun owners store their weapons improperly in their vehicles—a sadly common occurrence—this alone would suffice to arm numerous criminals. With such a vast number of guns in private hands, even if the majority of gun owners are peaceful and responsible, the homicide rate is inevitably higher than it would be otherwise.

Of course, homicide rates are influenced by various factors. Concentrated poverty and policing are two such determinants. Many European cities, for example, have a higher police presence per capita compared to American cities. While there are numerous elements at play in homicide statistics, it’s unreasonable to dismiss the impact of widespread firearm availability on these rates.

Rights often come with societal costs. The right to freedom of expression, for instance, means tolerating even the most repugnant forms of speech, such as Klan rallies. This is recognized as the price we pay for free speech. Similarly, the right to own firearms carries both benefits and societal costs.
