Uvalde school shooting

Unfortunately it appears the children at Robb Elementary were better trained in responding to an active shooter then the police were.

Hot the NRA’s fault

Why is it that every time there’s a mass shooting, liberals blame the NRA? There has never been a single member of the NRA that has been involved in any mass shooting.

Hitting with a stick

If a child is hitting people with a stick, I would blame the child not the stick. However, I would still take the stick away.

Who does it harm?

Who is it going to harm if assault weapons are banned, guns are registered, there are background checks and age requirements and guns must be locked up? No one will be harmed by those laws. Next question, who is it going to affect and likely harm if gun laws are not enacted? All of us.

AR-15 guns

“60 minutes” just demonstrated what an AR-15 does to a body. It does not just shoot a bunch of bullets quickly like I thought. They explode in the body and destroy soft tissue and shatter bones. You wouldn’t even use something like this on a deer. What the hell is wrong with this country to allow this to be bought by 18 year olds?
