Tears of the Cows 1,212 Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Literally the front page. One article mentions white on black crime. The headline simply omits any talk of race. In reality, both should not talk about race. We’re all people… and they’re playing us all for clicks.

The kid that got shot for ringing the wrong doorbell The cheerleaders that were shot for getting in the wrong car The young woman shot for turning her car around in someone's driveway (dead) Yet the only ones that mention race are white on black crime. I’d love to hear your thoughts, @Goukosan and @Mr. Impossible. None of these stories should be racially driven. Link to post Share on other sites

There are roughly 400 million gun owners in America. This is larger than every army in the world combined. That is why America is not able to ever be invaded. you take away guns, mass stabbing would happen. Nothing would really change. the 2nd amendment meant less than it does now. It’s the opposite of outdated. The few that push a bad agenda represent 2% of gun owners. if 2% of trans people commit murder, do you want to ban them?

z,warrior 155 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 7 minutes ago, Jerrys Hair Line said: Well, 400 million registered guns in America. doing my own research (i.e. asking chatgpt) there's no registry for gun owners so it's only estimated that there are about 120.5million of them. Or 36% of the population, or 1 out of every 3. Also found out at the time the second amendment was written, America did not have a military, and had to depend on a "well regulated militia" of citizens, to protect the country from invasion. Nowadays people who defend their rights to own guns, claim it's always for "self defense" against each other, and against the government, basically creating a bunch of paranoid consumers giving gun businesses (manufacturers, distributors, retailers) a lot of money to "protect" themselves... eventually. There is no threat that you need a gun to self defend yourself from. You are not a gangster. Call the police... so I repeat, guns (those that are obviously not for hunting) should be banned.

That’s less than gays in America. Should we ban anything that represents 2% of.. anything? Edited April 21, 2023 by Jerrys Hair Line Link to post Share on other sites

Diseases, Covid, and unintentional injuries like car accidents or falling. In other words, if someone dies in the US, it's either nature, accident, or a gun. Link to post Share on other sites
