Sensible Gun Safety

[CU77]

You think they couldn't defend themselves in your clip?

And what was the point of your clip anyway???

If you have to ask that question, you clearly do not get it. People have been arrested for doing far less than that. You tell me why the cops did not defend themselves or arrest them for something as simple as disorderly conduct?

[CU77]

There is not nearly enough info in that video to determine context. If the police arrested everyone who behaved like a generally harmless idiot (and throwing water around on a hot day is pretty harmless), we'd all be in jail.

I'd like to read the police report before coming to any judgment, wouldn't you?

Those folks weren’t arrested? If not, I would assume the police don’t think it was a big deal for reasons you and I don’t know. The narrative you may be attempting to build is “the police are afraid to do their jobs because of fear of protest”....I thought arrests were made. If not, it’s possible the police have a good rapport with those folks and it was in fun. I don’t know. Would like to read the police report, if one was filed.

This weekend alone…

3 people killed, 12 wounded in Gilroy, California.

3 people killed, 5 wounded in Baltimore, Maryland.

8 people killed, 40 wounded in Chicago, Illinois.

The common denominator? All gun control strongholds.

[MDlaxfan76]

Ahhh, the laws did it.

[CU77]

The common denominator? All gun control strongholds.

And all within easy driving distance of places without "strong" gun control.

And "strong" is not nearly strong enough.

EDIT: yep, Nevada purchase by the Gilroy terrorist:

Authorities say [the terrorist] killed three people, including a 6-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, at the Gilroy Garlic Festival with a rifle he legally purchased three weeks ago in Nevada.

I'm cutting his name because these fiends do not deserve to have their names remembered.

Oh, and he posted white-supremacy memes on insta just before:

An Instagram account, which was created four days ago under the suspect's name, posted two messages shortly before the attack began.

One included a photograph of people walking around the Garlic Festival with the words "Ayyy garlic festival time Come get wasted on overpriced sh**."

The other, which included a photo of Smokey the Bear holding a sign saying "Fire Danger High Today," stated: "Read Might is Right by Ragnar Redbeard. Why overcrowd towns and pave more open space to make room for hordes of mestizos and Silicon Valley white tw**s?"

A mestizo is a person of mixed descent, commonly white and Hispanic or white and American Indian. "Right is Might," first published in the late 1800s, has been described as a white supremacist text that promotes anarchy while vilifying Christianity. The book calls Jesus the "true Prince of Evil" and says that the natural order is a world at war in which the strong must vanquish the weak and white men must rule over those of color.

Ahhh, the laws did it.

r's to introduce ban on garlic festivals soon...

Hey, where are all the gun nuts to tell us that laws are useless, nobody obeys them anyway, and white supremacist terrorists need to protect their families from the gubmint just like everybody else!!!

You’re a liar. No surprise as you’re a Democrat. Here’s some facts regarding mass shootings: 1. None are carried out by NRA members and a majority are carried out in gun free zones.

Colin Flaherty shows how wrong, racist against whites and ignorant you are.

Even before the final butcher's bill was presented for the Sunday-night mass shooting in Gilroy, the blue checkers and talking heads were filling their platforms with fairy tales that most mass shooters are white.

But in the two-week run-up to Gilroy, there were 36 other mass shootings from coast to coast — and 34 of those shooters were black. One was white and one Hispanic. These results echo a New York Times story from 2016 that stated, much to the surprise and chagrin of the reporters, that whenever there are three or more victims of gunfire, 75 percent of shooters in America are black.

Today, that number looks a bit generous to black sensibilities.

But numbers from the New York Times and ten stories from good ol' Colin this year documenting hundreds of black mass shootings did not do much to remove the blinders of those who insist mass shootings are a white thing.

"Here's a fact that republicans are too stupid to grasp," said Mark K (@MarkRK47) on Twitter. "Every mass shooting in the US is carried out by a white supremacist. Every. Single. One."

Sibel Edmonds (@SibelEdmonds) chimed in to at least admit the possibility that not all mass shooters are white: "One hard hitting fact: In the chronic USA mass shooting incidents, in 99+% of the cases, the perpetrators: White, Anglo-Saxon, Christian, Americans."

Salon, the Daily Beast, Mother Jones, and other staples of the mass media cannot spread these fairy tales fast enough. The facts tell a different story — the opposite story.

Anyone up for a magical mystery tour of mass shootings over the last two weeks where black people shot three or more people? (You can follow along on my video; just click here.

Not all, said de Blasio. "We don't really count them that way."

No such thing as sensible gun control. Bad guys and evil governments will always have a advantage. Sensibility is owning guns.

Guns save lives. It is our God given right to own firearms to protect ourselves from psychos. Hundreds of millions of gun owners did not commit murder the other day. Cars kill more people than guns. Why not ban cars? Where’s your outcry over mass murder of blacks in the form of abortion? You really are terrible at this game. You get owned by facts every time.

Amen. Be prepared for the liberal quacks on here to come after you though. They hate being put in their place. Such sick, and sad individuals.

[MDlaxfan76]

Who was it asked where the gun nuts were on this thread???
Ask and yee shall receive.

I've owned and used guns for most of my life, though primarily for hunting. Thankfully I haven't felt the need for a gun for protection, so have all weapons fully secured, but have had friends whose work put them and their families in a position where they felt it necessary, just in case.

The 'gun nuts' don't see the difference between legitimate gun use and assault weapons.
But then again, that's sorta the definition of 'nuts'.

For those who wish to use assault weapons for sport (target shooting etc), I'm all for having well regulated gun ranges providing access to those who pass appropriate checks. But the guns stay at the range, don't go to their basement where some truly deranged person can take it for a killing spree.

What do you hunt? Do you have a tree stand on your property? (Everyone I know that lives in Maryland does. One even has three )

Also, what purpose and type of gun was used during NON-primarily times ?

Seems like an excellent case for much stronger gun control to me.

Where are the 34 headlines over the same period showing a greater number of lives saved by private gun owners?

I'll wait for you to produce those.

[CU77]

No such thing as sensible gun control. Bad guys and evil governments will always have a advantage. Sensibility is owning guns.

It seems to me that if the evil gubmint wants to come after you, then they're not coming to your door with guns. They're going to blow up you, your family, your guns, and everything else in your house, with remote-guided missiles fired from drones hovering several miles away. That's how they do it now in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And if those guns you "sensibly" own are loaded and readily available (to quickly defend against the "bad guys"), it's far more likely that what will happen instead is that your kid is going to pick one up one day and accidentally shoot himself or some other kid.

[CU77]

Guns save lives.

Still waiting waiting waiting for those 34 headlines over the same few days …

It is our God given right to own firearms

Not according to my religion.

Where’s your outcry over mass murder of blacks in the form of abortion?

According to my religion, life begins at birth. That's why we celebrate BIRTHDAYS and not CONCEPTION DAYS.

Do we still have freedom of religion in this country, or are you going to jam yours down my throat?
