ReplyDeleteGot it wrong Anon. I prefer this description since listing him as one of the victims offends me. But that's just me.
"A gunman stalked onto a college campus in southwestern Oregon on Thursday and opened fire, killing nine people and wounding seven before police shot him to death, authorities said, in yet another burst of U.S. gun violence that ranked as the deadliest this year."

Right SS, the numbers were changing right up to this AM, but you go ahead and try to claim I lied. It was the number ALL the networks were giving for 8 hours yesterday. You would be better off not outright lying, as you do, instead of pointing out a death number that keeps changing. What do you care? You have proven you care nothing about the innocents killed by gun shot, so shove it SS!

DeleteI never claimed that Anon, I merely said you were wrong. There is a difference. If you were to understand that, a lot of your comments would be more productive and it would likely do wonders for your blood pressure.
We've reached the tipping point of gun saturation. Everything will be going up from now on, just watch.
DeleteEverything will be going up from now on, just watch.
DeleteWhatever you say, Nostradamus. ;-).
"Saturation" means that adding more guns won't change anything- the opposite of what "tipping point" means.
DeleteI'd really like to hear you elaborate on why you think "gun flow" operates on a "tipping point" theory. That if you keep adding guns, crime keeps going down until said "tipping point" is reached where suddenly crime rockets upwards. Seems like a desperate attempt to explain why the last couple decades don't mesh with the "more guns, more crime" suggestion.
DeleteWell, as we've discussed before, there are other factors, improved emergency services mainly. But at a certain point the improvements there just can't stave off the ever-increasing availability of guns to unfit people.
DeleteThe American character, rebellious and violent. Your president is right, only laws change American's character.
