Leftists despise local law enforcement, especially sheriffs, as they represent the only remaining wielders of sanctioned violence that are completely outside of the purview of the regime. Sheriffs in many states have already defied federal agencies and even state legislatures in the gun grabbing efforts. You can imagine that many sheriffs would ignore any confiscation order not only for the safety of their deputies but also on principle. Ever notice how the calls to “defund” or “abolish” the police never seem to extend to, say, the FBI? If the left got their way there would be forcible confiscation of guns by a massive federal law enforcement agency that would engage with gun owners much the same way the FBI and ATF engaged with David Koresh and Randy Weaver. Leftists would squeal with glee as formerly law abiding people who ignored an order shouted by megaphone got their houses lit up. And all this is fine because so long as the law enforcement agency is beholden only to the regime, they can murder and entrap with impunity as they receive top cover from the White House, judiciary, and fourth estate. Just an amazing take on reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(WAY more likely to die in a tornado hitting our school than someone coming in and shooting it up) https://www.courthousenews.com/poll-shows-most-american-students-fear-school-shootings/ So were you "practicing" in a school in 2018? Do you think these numbers have gotten better or worse since then? Perhaps you live in an area where fear and anxiety in children are totally absent? The Pew study also found large disparities between respondents when accounting for race, family income and the party affiliation of parents. The report is based on interviews with 743 teens and more than 1,000 parents over the past month. For example, the fear of school shootings is particularly pronounced for students of color. Nearly three-quarters of Hispanic students say they are at least somewhat worried about a shooting, compared to about half of white students saying the same.

Tiberius Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 The following is a partial list of when an AR-15-style weapon was used in a mass shooting: Feb. 14, 2018: Shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida leaves 17 people dead. Oct. 1, 2017: The Las Vegas slaughter of 58 people. Nov. 5, 2017: The Sutherland Springs, Texas, church shooting that claimed 26 lives. June 12, 2016: The Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla., that left 49 dead. Dec. 2, 2015: The San Bernardino, Calif., shooting that killed 14 people. Dec. 14, 2012: The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut that took 27 lives. 43 minutes ago, ArdmoreRyno said: Just read the whole article.

Thanks for any help Funny, I don't care what you believe 👍 It was ar-15's. the weapon of choice in mass shooting. Damn, can't wait to see this thing banned again For his 2016 book “Rampage Nation,” Klarevas collected data on every gun massacre — which he defines as six or more people shot and killed — for the 50 years before 2016. His aim was to see whether there was any change in the number of gun massacres while the 10-year federal ban on assault weapons was in place. He calls the results “staggering.” Compared with the 10-year period before the ban, the number of gun massacres during the ban period fell by 37 percent, and the number of people dying from gun massacres fell by 43 percent. But after the ban lapsed in 2004, the numbers shot up again — an astonishing 183 percent increase in massacres and a 239 percent increase in massacre deaths. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/02/15/its-time-to-bring-back-the-assault-weapons-ban-gun-violence-experts-say/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
