The shooters aren't very accurate, so the risk of death is fairly low. That’s a comfort to know. I think I’ll just go ahead and book my next vacation to Chicago for some weekend in, oh say, 2085.

Dems will still be running the city then and pretending they care about all of Chicago while the slaughter of people of color continues and there aren't enough jobs for all those that want them because the "better" neighborhoods prefer illegal immigrant labor and enjoy sanctuary status.

B-Man Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 NPR for God's sake............ This is interesting...NPR reached out to the 200+ schools that reportedly had school shootings in 2015 and found that more than two-thirds of these government-reported incidents never happened. https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent … Narrative fail.

No, they happened... ...if your definition of "school shooting" is "discharge of a firearm in the vicinity of a school." Which, in this "government report" case, it is. The majority of which are coincidences of location and have nothing to do with the school. Think I covered that up-thread somewhere. Same sort of semantic game they play when they say "There's a mass shooting every day!" Implying that there's a mass murder occurring somewhere in the country daily, when the majority are crime-related incidents where at least four people are injured.

B-Man Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 BOOM: South Africa Calls for 300,000 Gun Owners to Turn Over Their Weapons. Though South Africa witnessed rising levels of economic freedom shortly after Apartheid ended in 1994, the country has taken a more interventionist path to economic development in recent years. This situation is becoming more pronounced with the South African National Assembly recently voting 241-83 to amend the South African constitution to allow for land expropriation without compensation. The socialist-leaning African National Congress (ANC) and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) parties are leading the charge for expropriation under the banner of fixing racial disparities that have supposedly remained intact since Apartheid’s conclusion. While land confiscation has not been officially finalized, South Africans should worry about the direction their country is going. And how does gun control fit into this equation? I think you know the answer to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
