Yet another one. 2 killed 3 critical in Huston.

74 Americans die daily by being on the wrong end of a gun, according to your post

How many will have to die each day for you to find that it is a genuine problem which needs to be addressed?

It has been addressed - mass shootings and handgun homicides are criminal acts.
 
Guns. Again.

More reported dead from gunshot.

Once again, our gun laws and their level of enforcement were unable to keep this tragedy from happening.

On average, using 2020 data, a person in the United States of America dies of gunshot every 12 minutes. Every 12 minutes, 24/7/365.

Guns.

Again.

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

It would be nice if you posted a source when quoting data.

Let's teach them to be more aware, and help the mentally ill.
 
You realize you just proved everything I said correct? You have no problem with activist judges against abortion but whine and cry with your cause. Thank you for proving me correct about all your crying and whining being bullshit. You don't care about activist judges, you only care about judges against your cause. You have only demonstrated your comments are hypocritical bullshit to be easily dismissed.
Have you read even a little of the draft decision?

Hi, American.

While I normally charge for research, here's a freebee. Professional courtesy.

my point was to learn and understand if 74 deaths by gun a day is not significant enough to recognize we have a gun problem, what level of lives lost per day due to guns will be required for the ammoholics to acknowledge the problem is real?
As long as special interests are lining the pockets of our legislators, no amount will ever be high enough. The 2nd A has turned into a real cash cow for so many in this country.

I agree with that. But it's not being done. Every time a conservative in interviewed about mass shootings, that's the talking point we get. We've been hearing it for decades.

The Buffalo shooter was detained last year for a mental evaluation. He was released 48 hours later.

I've said this over and over again. Never is popular with the gun fanatics. However, since the gun is the common denominator in all mass shootings, eliminate the gun, you eliminate the shootings. I fully understand that the gun doesn't do the shooting. But since we can't get a handle on mental health, what does that leave us with?

Yep, and the knife is the “common demoninator” in stabbings - eliminate the knife and you eliminate the stabbings. Shall we try that “tool control” for rapes and beatings?

What gun laws would have stopped this?

Not even in the top 10 causes of death. How concerned are you over the other, more prevalent causes of death?

Expect crickets…

Military style assault rifles are the most effective way to kill lots of people. No need for you to flap your gums about knifes or beatings

Yet this mass shooting (as are most) was done with a handgun.

Nobody has been killed with a military style assault rifle in the US, in decades. Since 1934, there are only 4 known instances in the US.

Well whatever the guns are called that look like a military weapon. AR-15 or whatever.

You missed “style” which means appearance - not function.
