people dead, you talk about writing style
This is a message board. If you can't clearly communicate it's going to make things more difficult. Please try and stay focused and on point.
got it, you dont live in the same area so it's not something you pay attention to or think about but like posting about when it fits into a certain narrative...otherwise its ok....
Um, I live in Southside Chicago. My point was you are wrong to point Chicago as some sort of war zone where shootings happen all the time. It's not the wild west.
yep, not all shootings are equal unless one the people happen to be someones father, bother, or ect...black on black crime,,,were did that come from...
Yes, I believe in nuance. I would hope that if I live to 80 or 90 I would recognize that the life of a five-year-old would be more worth saving than my own.
Racist much? new demographic ? how about 1800 people were shot in an American city doesn't seem to make the news...
unless it fits into a certain narrative.
I love how openly racist people now try and call people calling out racism racists. This is the sort of cognitive dissonance at the heart of just about all of your posts.
you might try sticking to what you know about...We could compare to what you've shot vs what I have...my bet is you would lose..
Since you were in the military I would imagine you are right, although I've shot some pretty big guns and a rocket in Cambodia along with growing up shooting. As for what I know: I know I can read, and I did invite you to look in a dictionary.
assault style weapon has no meaning
See above. You are simply wrong.
They are using rifles and hand guns,,,,dead is dead..to date unless I missed none of them have used assault weapons.
Wrong again. See above.
Those who who've used the term assault weapon, have problems making laws
because other common rifles fall into having some of the same features with none of them having the capability of fully auto as one of them
This is correct, but I think you fail to realize that countries with strict gun laws ban semi-auto, magazine fed firearms. So, the problem in the US is the hair-splitting that the NRA does to protect assault rifles modified to be assault weapons. Don't belive me? Ask the makers of said weapons:
"Eugene Stoner would have agreed, his family said.
The ex-Marine and "avid sportsman, hunter and skeet shooter" never used his invention for sport. He also never kept it around the house for personal defense. In fact, he never even owned one.
And though he made millions from the design, his family said it was all from military sales.
"After many conversations with him, we feel his intent was that he designed it as a military rifle," his family said, explaining that Stoner was "focused on making the most efficient and superior rifle possible for the military.""
And from the inventor of the AK:
"So I designed one. I was a soldier, and I created a machine gun for a soldier. It was called an Avtomat Kalashnikova, the automatic weapon of Kalashnikov—AK—and it carried the year of its first manufacture, 1947."
.As long as you and some of the others give these nut jobs a status, its what they want.
By denying them anything even a name, .
they might be less inclined to act out.
Gee wiz, where have we heard of that before. Just don't talk about the problem and it will go away. Yeah, right.

Do you understand basic math or statistics? You are making my point.
