19 students, 3 adults dead in Texas elementary shooting.

Was the shooter a legal citizen or illegal immigrant?

American citizen

So Cruz sold the mentally ill person a gun?

So why pray if you don't believe it has any causal efficacy?

Who said it didn't? We as humans have this idea that this life is as good as it gets, what if it isn't? I prayed day after day that my grandmother would be healed from her cancer and her pain, she practically raised me and my brothers. I selfishly wanted to keep her here with me but that would mean that she would continually suffer from other complications but what I failed to realize is she was healed and she was no longer in pain.

In fairness, if this was a school in a largely Hispanic community (just basing that on the victims), I could understand them not feeling the need to have the doors locked. This is the first school rampage shooting I've ever heard of like this.

That doesn't make any sense. I live in a place with a crazy sheriff and likely one of the highest gun ownership % in the country yet schools lock the doors. They have an SRO, some teachers are armed and they practice lockdown drills. Given the world around them it seems very shortsighted to take no precautions

Joe Biden actually recommends American's buy the same gun used in Columbine for their home protection and to randomly fire it into the air. IDK why you think this is relevant?

Lol is this the gay equivalent of saying “I have a black friend”

Quick…everyone count your gays!

No matter what the discussion, he always “knows” someone who has “experienced XYZ”

Every (or at least many) country has these issues. Only one has mass shootings as a regular occurrence. Maybe mass shootings are a symptom, but if you remove the guns, you remove that symptom. It's not hard.

Guns are not the symptom nor are they the problem.

Are Children and Adolescents Overprescribed Psychiatric Medications?

In the USA, 8.5 percent of children under 18 (1 in 12) are on "medication for ADD/ADHD, autism/ASD, or difficulties with emotions, concentration, or behavior," according to a national survey. This includes 1.2 percent of pre-schoolers and 12.9 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds (1 in 8).

The consumption of psychiatric drugs by children (and adults) is far higher in the US than elsewhere, partly because of direct-to-consumer advertising by drug companies, which is illegal almost everywhere else.

delete. Read his other post and found my answer

 

[Ttucke11]

In other news, here's a video of Joe Biden eating a steak with a knife. Sources say it's the same model knife a man used to kill his mother and father with.

Why do white Americans own the most guns yet are less likely to commit homicide or mass shootings than black Americans?

Why is the white homicide rate on par with Canada and the UK despite the massive difference in gun ownership?

Unless...guns aren't the actual problem.

 

[hog88]

Of course. But “shouldn’t need” is great in theory.

Agreed. But it should be the goal.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I find it funny Biden is blaming the guns while being surrounded with body guards armed with guns.

Talk about being a hypocrite.

Welcome to arguing with democrats

Although it is anecdotal, my experiences in life say those number are vastly lower than reality.

What is the dumb f*** trying to prove anyway?

The Matthew Shepard lie again

I don't think Matthew Shepard thought it was a lie as he hung there dying.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Sounds like they maybe had a part time SRO?

Reading a book right now by a very left-leaning guy about what he calls the "medical industrial complex" and how it came to be. Terrifying stuff. He wrote this in 2019, and if he did it now he'd be called an anti-science loon.

 

[Gandalf]

While we rightly weep for this senseless act, there will likely be just as many or more murdered in Chicago and Detroit in just the next week and no one will say anything.

These cities dont allow guns of any sort.

Again, what is it about the culture where people think this is ok?

 

[hog88]

If the reporting is true that this guy recently purchased 2 Daniel Defense rifles where ITH did he get $4 grand if poverty was one of his issues?

Who's the author and book name please?

I have a Latina wife therefore my opinions on Hispanic and immigrant issues in the United States is more valuable than everyone else's!

But the left wouldn't accept it, because her opinion is not what they think it should be.

 

[ButchPlz]

Who's the author and book name please?

Code Blue, Mike Magee. You have to wade through his hilariously bad macroeconomic opinion (he is a medical doctor after all, not an economist) but the nuggets of how things work in the political/academic/research structure are worth the sifting.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

2nd generation migrant worker immigrant with mental illness

I am not trying to be argumentative or sling insults here, but I feel like the mental illness deal is an excuse for his actions. I understand that people seriously deal with mental illness, but mental illness is constantly thrown out as somewhat of an excuse for mass shooter actions. I believe it has zero to do with their actions. They are full on cowards that can't deal with reality and create a false world in their mind where they will be "remembered" dead or alive after the event.

Nothing is going to change this time either. The gun grabbing block will wrongly assume again this is the trigger that gets people to agree with them that firearms in and of themselves are the problem. The very large number of law abiding firearms owners understand the statistics of how many firearms, including the scary assault rifle whatever that is, are in the possession of law abiding citizens whom do not commit murder.

Just look at the number of states passing constitutional carry laws. The gun grabbing block is not reading the room at all.

So once again the gun grabbers will expend a lot of energy to no avail, they will block discussion on the person instead of the tool, and nothing will change.

Until people on both sides of the discussion agree to focus on the prime issue, the shooter, nothing will change. That is NOT the fault of law abiding firearms owners. It takes two to tango.
