It seems that people talk less and less about, what was at the time, the worst terror attack in American history. I was a sophomore at Oklahoma State and people there felt the ground shake from the blast that took place 65 miles away. I went to OKC the next day to visit my girlfriend, who was going to school at OU at the time. Seeing the Murrah Building cut in half, hard to explain what that was like. One of my fraternity brothers lost this dad that day, secret service agent Mickey Maroney.

"Anyone caught manufacturing, selling or supplying them (knives) will face up to two years in jail." Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, said: “The thugs wielding these deadly knives aim to terrorise their victims and the public, and too often even carry out horrific or fatal attacks. They are emboldened by the cowardly idea that carrying these blades inflates their own status and respect. “This can’t go on. These plans seek to give the police greater powers to seize and destroy these weapons and impose harsher penalties on the criminals selling them, keeping them off our streets and making communities safer.” WOW. And gun owners in America wonder why we are against any type of registry. Guns... knives... they want complete control.

Stop the gang violence. Crack down on the gangs destroying the cities. You'd cut those numbers in half.

Isn't that happening? The guy is in jail.

Again, the whole thing is horrible. I hope the old man burns. But I'll ask again... what is the walkout for? What are they protesting? This wasn't a police shooting, it wasn't a school shooting. You're thinking it's because this 84 year old man who probably had that .380 since 1958, should have had his firearms removed from his home? I'm confused on what this is other than a f'ed up tragedy/murder.

Walkout for? What happened was a horrible thing. Old man who shot the kid turned himself in.

One example, Utah has allowed firearms in schools going back around 15 years... 0 school shootings. https://www.ksl.com/article/28390054/experts-speculate-on-why-utah-has-zero-school-related-shootings

Context matters dude. Sorry... I know you want to lump a couple of 30-year olds shooting at each other at a high school parking lot at 4 a.m. on a Sunday as a "School Shooting".... but it's not the same thing.

Keep harping on this... you don't need to force anyone to carry, or have access to, a firearm at school. Only those staff members who are willing to do it and be properly trained. I'm talking CLEET type training. And I feel it needs to be more "front office" workers, like admin/principles. Seems most school shootings, the shooter starts by coming in the front door/entrance. Any? An AK actually just used in a home defense story the past week. You can google the news stories about home defense and AR's. AR-platforms are EXTREMELY popular home defense weapons. Easy to use, enough rounds to fend off several people. I personally have 3 different firearms that I go between for home defense... I have a Mossberg 500, 300 AAC Blackout (which is an AR platform rifle... suppressed) and my Stribog 9mm (suppressed... I have a video on here of me shooting that one).

Yea. If a 19 year old kid is selling meth/crack/etc. in the projects to down and out people, then get into a gun battle with rivals... yea. They aren't the same as a 12 year old who got shot at a school sitting in class.

Would you rather have (throwing out a mythical scenario) 3 accidental discharges/deaths by armed staff/SRO in schools or have 50 school children killed per year in a legit school shooting?

Has nothing to do with what we were talking about... and we've talked about how you can lump certain ages to fit a narrative (like the 19 and under stat, instead of 18 and under).

Funny, again... most Asian hate crimes are not carried out by right wingers. You know this. Studies show that one race in particular are the main people harming Asians. And I'm still not seeing where people are blaming the Chinese people.

What right wing people blamed the people of China? The Chinese government? Yea. Not the Chinese people. If you're talking about the Asian hate crimes... those haven't been carried out by right wing people. What is your definition of "a lot"? You're making assumptions. He knows. He just won't admit that those deaths don't fit the liberal agenda. They only care about 'white on black' or 'police on black' incidents.

400 million guns in the country... you have to go looking for rare incidents to damn all gun-owners. So, we should damn every Muslim for 9/11?

The war in Ukraine is 95% on the West and NATO (United States, mostly). If you people can't see that, you're clueless. https://www.jstor.org/stable/24483306

Home defense? All the time.

Nearly EVERY SINGLE so-called "mass shooting" listed are gang related. The FBI doesn't count those, nor should they.

Google is a pretty cool search engine. Might give it a try! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11964843/New-York-man-bail-shooting-three-cops-charged-killing-two-men-Easter.html

Maybe the most 'beta male' I've ever seen. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just can't get into the new phase crap. It's been horrible so far. I haven't been able to finish the new Black Panther movie, I could barely get through one episode of Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk looked so HORRIBLE in the trailers... I never bothered starting it. The last Thor movie was PAINFUL to get through. I mean, painful. I'll still watch the Ant-Man, Guardians and the Spider-Man movies, seeing Daredevil in the last one made me so damn excited. I so hope Disney doesn't screw Charlie Cox's character. I can't wait for The Punisher with Jon Bernthal to come back. Netflix made masterpieces with Daredevil, The Punisher and Jessica Jones (season 1). I even liked Luke Cage (season 1). Some of the Disney+ shows they have come out with, aside from Loki, Moon Knight and WandaVision, have been pretty awful IMO.

I wish it would jump back to the October 2021 prices! My account is still 1/3 of what it was, but still up a ton since I first started investing in early 2018. ETC was around $120 back then. BTC was $8000

Some states already have a 'wait period'. Here's my counter argument to the time delay deal: I have two girls... both adults. If either of them are in an abusive relationship (that I don't know about because then this theoretical scenario is moot") and fear that their partner will hurt them, kill them, etc. and want to buy a gun to protect themselves... I don't want them to have to wait 3 days, 10 days, etc. I want them to be allowed to go in and take home their firearm THAT DAY after their NICS check comes back. There has been times in states with delays, someone is killed by their partner before the were able to get their handgun/shotgun/rifle. In 2022, 55,000 firearms were bought legally last year PER DAY. There were around 60 'mass shootings' in total in that time-frame. 20,000,000 purchases in a year to 60 shootings. Dude who in going to be on trial for attempted murder, released w/o bail... shoots 3 people with a handgun... so let's ban the AR-15. That's NYC for ya. The New York City DA helped add another "mass shooting" to the media/liberal narrative.

Every semi-auto can. Colt 1911, Glock 17, Ruger 10-22, etc. As fast as you can pull the trigger. The ban only changed the “looks” of the AR. It didn’t change how it functioned or the lethality. So the drop is purely coincidental. A 5.56/.223 and firing rate didn’t change with the ban. They removed dumb things like the bayonet lug, the muzzle device, removed adding a “grenade launcher” (LOL!), collapsible stock, etc.

Congress made it a federal law. NFA was passed in 1934. Made it illegal to own several weapon types without a $200 approved tax stamp.
