What is better, no guns, or more guns?

I'm referring to the Club Q

 

 

Fine.

 

The same response holds.

 

The shooter was not a liberal, neither does anything in his background make him a MAGA supporter.

 

The accused was identified as Anderson Lee Aldrich, a 22-year-old resident of Colorado Springs.[34] Aldrich was born Nicholas Franklin Brink on May 20, 2000, in San Diego, California, to Aaron Brink, a former pornographic film actor and mixed martial arts fighter, and Laura Voepel, the daughter of Randy Voepel, an outgoing member of the California State Assembly and a former mayor of Santee, California.[35][36][37][38] Voepel and Brink separated and divorced one year after Aldrich's birth; while Voepel went on to receive custody over Aldrich, her tumultuous life – which included multiple arrests and mental health evaluations – resulted in Aldrich being cared for by Voepel's mother who eventually became Aldrich's legal guardian.[39][40][41]

 

Aldrich grew up in northern San Antonio, Texas, and is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, though has not been involved in church services for at least a decade.[42][43][44] Records indicate that Aldrich was a target of online bullying that involved homophobic taunts while in middle school.[37][45][46] Aldrich changed names on April 28, 2016, shortly before turning 16, citing a desire to remove associations with Aaron Brink, who by that point had multiple criminal convictions.[37][41]

 

Twice before the 2021 incident Aldrich had been reported to Colorado Police for "escalating homicidal behavior."[53] On June 17, 2021, Aldrich's grand-aunt contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation to report Aldrich was planning to kill Christians and government employees, after Aldrich's grandfather had reported being threatened by Aldrich; however, the family did not press charges with local police.[46][57] There is no record that law enforcement authorities or Aldrich's relatives attempted to trigger the Colorado red flag law, which might have allowed for the seizure of any weapons and ammunition that Aldrich possessed.[13]

 

Aldrich and Laura Voepel had conflicts with passengers and crew during a July 2022 flight from California to Colorado. They were accused of harassing others while aboard the plane, and insulting some with racial slurs. After deplaning, Aldrich was filmed saying to another passenger: "I wish I can shoot all of you" and "You keep following me and I'm going to ***** you up."[58]

 

 

Despite this the Media/Left tried (and failed) to connect his actions with "Right Wing" commentators speaking out against drag shows.

 

Typical.

The United States, with less than 5 percent of the world’s population, has 46 percent of the world’s civilian-owned guns, according to the most recent report by the Switzerland-based Small Arms Survey (2018).

I have solutions to the gun violence problem but libs would rather have tyrants than a sane society, so we can’t have mass summary hangings of drug dealers and gangbangers in the public square.

Expert testifies that a single round from an AR-15 can sever the upper body from the lower body

 

 

We’ve heard a lot about the abilities of the AR-15. Last summer, NPR reported that bullets travel from the AR-15 with such velocity that they can decapitate an adult. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. informed us that a bullet from an AR-15 can liquify tissue and vaporize bone.

 

Now, as California’s Department of Justice weighs an assault weapons ban, Col. Craig Tucker has testified that a single round from an AR-15 “is capable of severing the upper body from the lower body, or decapitation.” Furthermore, it’s useless as a defensive weapon, except maybe when used to beat an attacker with it.

 

Under oath, no less  🤔

 

 

Col (retired) Craig Tucker should be charged with perjury for those outrageous and untrue statements.

Have never had an urge to own a gun.  
 

The obvious answer to this question, for anyone who isnt a communist, is more guns >>>> no guns.  


Communism is when no guns, therefore half of Europe is communist

Did you see how many, otherwise sensible, countries around the world were run during covid?  Curfews, mandates, police used as storm troopers. 

 

Theres a reason that didn’t happen here (to that extreme level), even if some progressive states tried their hardest.  
 

Id rather everyone have guns than cede all control to the government. 
 

Covid exposed the true nature of a lot of people, and a lot of leaders, and I’m for anything that checks that impulse.

I don’t live in constant paralyzing fear of the government, so I don’t agree. 
 

We did what we had to do during the pandemic when we didn’t know what we were working with.

Good for you.  I’m sure your social credit score will be good enough for extra rolls in the bread lines some day.   Maybe even a bonus hour of fresh air during the next pandemic.

people dont watch their backs in areas with high legal gun ownership.

 

Now the places with illigal ownership and DA's that dont charge, thats where people avoid.

I'm not *into* guns but if you are ever robbed or have had your home broken into then it's not about want it's about need. Feel free to call 911 and when they finally show up 45 min later they can help identify your body.

 

Do you know what you will never see on the news? Armed intruder breaks into kdiggz's house. You might see me on tv as "gun nut shoots helpless poor person who just wanted to take some items from his residence." But I'll choose the headline where my family is safe 100% of the time. The only mass shooting around here will involve a lot of dead bad guys.

I don’t necessarily live in a state of fear from our current govt .. although Biden’s bs vax mandate forced my brother into getting vaxxed for his job - one week later, diagnosed with tachycardia .. but I dont trust our govt, at all.  
 

I do fear a future for our govt with more power.. a govt that flirts with ideas such as ESG, social credit scores, centralized currency etc., all thing we see in countries like China, and are becoming increasingly vocalized by leaders in the EU and “progressive” leaders in the US.

Yeah, rational solutions, like not even sending criminals to prison. Just tell them they've been a bad boy and send them on their way. Give them one free murder while you're at it.

Republicans DO love living in the past so it’s no surprise they want to return to punishment circa 1200. 
 

 

 

Remember, we can’t do anything about this because Republicans want to LARP as Henry Knox and pretend that the government couldn’t vaporize them in 2 seconds if they actually wanted to.

Keep cowering in fear, then. I'm enjoying life as normal now that we've beaten the pandemic. At least, some of us tried to, anyway. The rest screeched about how a piece of cloth violated their freedumz

The government has tanks, rocket launchers, UFOs, laser rail guns, etc. I'm sure they can easily handle the Gravy SEALs and Y'All Quida that still likes to believe its 1800.

Children have fallen way behind in learning, while experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression and suicide.  

 

We have fallout from what happened that will last for decades.

 

People have vax injuries that will be with them for the rest of their lives.. for something that was unnecessarily forced on them.  

 

Media and Tech were weaponized to propagandize the people, while medical institutions and agencies like the CDC will deal with the erosion of trust for years. 

 

What we saw was the true nature of subservient people... weak people create hard times, and it will happen again, and people like myself won't forget that there are people like you out there.  Which is why this issue is the defining political issue of my lifetime and I will never support anyone who had anything to do with using a pandemic to enhance their grip of power over the people.. and will always remember half this country was willing to let that happen.

Pure, unfiltered nonsense, unsubstantiated by anyone who isn't trying to push an agenda. 

 

If people like you were around during World War II, we would have lost the home front. "Victory gardens? Scrap metal drive?? COMMUNISM REEEEEEE." Disgusting, fake Americans who don't give a single solitary ***** about their fellow man.

Soon to be down the memory hole.

 

It doesn't fit the Leftist narrative.

 

Prayers for the victims of this madman.

 

3 students killed in mass shooting at Michigan State University

 

  • Three people have died and five are injured after a shooting Monday night at Michigan State University, police said. 
  • All the victims were MSU students, according to officials, and the wounded students remain in critical condition.
  • The suspect — identified as a 43-year-old man not affiliated with the university — died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. Authorities are still investigating a motive.

It's funny saying at least you tried by wearing the mask nowthat all the studies are showing they had little to no effect on covid. So you wore a piece of laundry pretending like you were on the front lines and shaming anyone who didn't wear one even though you both had the same risk to covid. lol. 

 

I'm trying to fight covid with this mask

Yea, but you're not actually safer

Yea but I'm trying which makes me better than you. 

ok
