All lives matter to me.
All communities matter to me.

People need love more than just hating all the time.

I don't need to keep repeating myself like a broken record.

Keep the peace. No fighting! No war!

No racist here for me. No racism here for me to ever.

I love all colors and I love all communities.
Enjoy your day.

Enough said!

Blessing to you all,
Princessa

And I'm going to call you out on this. Do blacks really care about blacks clustered in one of the worse slum areas? No. Lightfoot hasn't done squat except increase the threat to those living in those areas. How is it WHITE stations are the only ones reporting on it? How is it the black community is silent on this? Don't give me your false concern on mass shootings. And your BS "logic" they're actually buying those guns ANYWHERE is a load of crap. You obviously don't do your research.

"A national survey of inmates of state prisons found that just 10 percent of youthful (age 18-40) male respondents who admitted to having a gun at the time of their arrest had obtained it from a gun store. The other 90 percent obtained them through a variety of off-the-book means: for example, as gifts or sharing arrangements with fellow gang members." Newsweek

"Among prisoners serving time for a crime during which they possessed a gun, about half got their weapons either on the underground market (43 percent) or through theft (6 percent). Meanwhile, 10 percent bought guns from a retail source, including 0.8 percent who bought them at gun shows." Source and Use of Firearms Involved in Crimes: Survey of Prison Inmates, 2016

0.8% at gun shows. Keep your head in the sand buddy.

Calling out Chicago gun violence to dismiss mass shooting problems is last considering most guns obtained legally in mass shootings are obtained legally. These shooters aren't getting them off the streets and to imply black people don't care about inner city gun crimes is racist. I'm not saying you yourself are racist but it's a dead horse argument that's made by many racists on the right.


Of course black people care, it's just not as publicized as the crimes themselves. Keeping guns out of the hands of the unstable shouldn't be met with "no, what about Chicago?". Gun crimes were down by 60% when AR's were banned, guess what happened when the bam wasn't renewed? Columbine happened and now these shootings are happening at an increased rate, especially around the Holidays. No, an AR was in Columbine but a Tec-9 was used which has similar effects that it can get off rapid shots and easily reloaded to finish the job.

It turned out the shooter was a overnight team lead which in my view makes it a justifiable shooting spree. I mean ask yourself if you were a team lead or any kind of manager at a WalMart would you have at least thought about doing the same thing?

You’ve said a lot of stupid, insensitive, idiotic things here but this is probably the worst 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

You're placing blame in the wrong area. Its not the object that you should have a problem with. Its not the gun.

Easy access to AR 15s doesn't help and it's not like we NEED to provide easy access to AR 15s.

SerenityMoon said:
Another problem you are making is believing that stricter gun laws will achieve what you are looking for. If an individual is willing to take a life I highly doubt they are worried about a law restricting access to a gun.Secondly I and many many others would be for more strict gun laws if you could point out one enforceable gun law that would stop gun crime. A gun ban or prohibition of fire arms is not the answer.

You don't see the volume of mass shootings in other democratic countries like that of the US because those countries DO have stricter gun laws.
 
nah im good with my guns. if we actually treated mental illness properly, this wouldn’t be an issue. yes, mental illness is the core problem of this and solutions/etc. i won’t list cause it’s a waste of time with you people anyways

don’t @ me lol

Number 1. In the US You don't "need" a NEED to own something that is a right. and 2. The 2nd Amendment "Shall not be infringed" is to protect gun owners rights to change a tyrannical government. And lastly the AR was designed first for civilian use years before it was adopted as a military rifle.
 
The #1 killer of kids in the US are firearms. So big deal who it was designed for, we see where the design for civilians has gone.

The 2nd amendment applies to foreign invaders occupying, burning down homes and ripping off colonists, and God knows what else. It was written over 200 years ago, less than 20 years after independence was won, I'm pretty there's been no invasions since then.

Right now mass shootings are the relevant threat, not invading govt's.

you need to re read the Second Amendment.

That argument is stupid. If the government wants to become tyrannical, they will. You having that AR 15 in your closet isn't going to matter when an Abram's tank is firing shells into your living room.


You're also twisting your facts. The AR 15 was first used by the military as the M16 debuting in Vietnam. They then modified them for civilian use in the late 80s until the rise in mass shootings had them banned in 94 but even during then, the military still used them. Just because they were made for civilian use, doesn't mean it makes it OK. It's legal to own a surface to air missile, does that make it right just because you can?

The second amendment was made during the time were muskets were used, not AR 15's. It's a broad term and you could make the same argument that fully automatic guns and belt fed machine guns should also be made legal.

9/10 times the gun used in mass shootings is an AR 15. There's a reason pistols are the hardest guns to obtain and that's because they can cover a lot of areas and quickly reloaded, the AR 15 is even easier to use if you need to clear out a room. There's nothing an AR 15 does for home defense that a shotgun can't. Children are dying and this dumb argument is consistently used as an echo chamber even when gun violence went down by over 60% when they were banned.

I do agree with the right to bear arms, I'm talking about the AR 15s. I support background checks and stricter gun laws before handing out the AR 15s so fast and loose because of exactly what Boba Fett said about how fast you can mow down so many people, it's a full on spray of bullets.

You're talking about a tyrannical govt, what do you think will happen next? A tyrannical gov't invasion or a mass shooting? Domestic threats are just as deadly and happen all the time.

People act like you want to take away their guns or make guns illegal just because you want background checks and stricter gun laws in buying AR 15s.

Armalite sold the rifle's design to another firearms manufacturer, Colt, in 1959. Four years later, the U.S. military selected Colt to manufacture a standard-issue model of the AR-15 — dubbed the M-16 — for soldiers in the Vietnam FACT

Secondly Go around and ask any member of the US Military if they are willing to fire on civilians.

Between 2007 and 2017, nearly 1,700 people were murdered with a knife or sharp object per year. That’s almost four times the number of people murdered by an assailant with any sort of rifle.

@Boba Fett Do just a little research before running your pie hole.

Back ground checks have been in effect since 1993 with the Brady Act and the 1968 law imposed Federal licensing of individuals to manufacture or deal in firearms and a ban on all interstate transportation of weapons to or from individuals not licensed as dealers, manufacturers, importers, or collectors. Haven't been effective.
As for the AR being a full on spray of Bullets? IDK where you got that at. Yes it shoots as fast as you can pull the trigger, but so does a Glock, a 10/22 , a Benelli ETHOS Sport Shotgun. But since the AR appears to be a military style weapon it's singled out. There are dozens of other fire arms that function in the same way that aren't under scrutiny and they do as much if not more damage than the AR style rifles.

They haven't been effective because there's a HUGE loophole in that check, it only applies to licensed dealers. Private sellers, gun shows and online sales aren't required to do background checks.

Oh, it's not a spray of bullets? Okay, I'll rephrase that and just say a stream of enough bullets that rips into your head so hard, some of those kids could only be identified by the shoes they were wearing because their faces were too shredded to recognize.

I don't care if it's military or not, any weapon that does the same thing is applicable here.

@swansong So you're saying any fire arm capable of firing multiple times? Why not go for an all out ban on things that can hurt you? You'd have the same luck.
