    The Pittsburgh shooting is now old hat. The Thousand Oaks shooting last Wednesday was the 307th mass shooting in 2018: a dozen more dead. That's 307 mass shootings in what ? 312 days? Just 53 more to go and we'll set a new record! Thousand Oaks makes 307 mass shootings in 311 days
    One poor guy survived a previous mass shooting only to die in this one. You can run, but you can't hide! A mass shooting a day makes the people go 'way. What's the Republican solution? Arm everybody, of course. Let them blow each other away, and we'll have peace in the graveyard.

    What's your solution? Are you an advocate of a nationwide gun confiscation program.

    And before we look at that list of mass shootings at your link, why don't you define "mass shooting" so that we're clear on that.

    No. Just a sensible gun control program like Maryland's. No other industrial country has this record of gun carnage. Mass shootings=four or more people shot or killed, not including the shooters; 328 people died in those 307 incidents, and 1,251 were injured. And I have no intention to debate you on this. From previous experience, you seem like the guy in the cartoon supra. I've wasted enough of my time with you in the past.

    Sure . . .

    From your link:

    Police responded to call a
    fter call of gunfire during a violent night in Atlanta.


    No one was killed, but several were injured in three separate incidents in neighborhoods across the city.

    Also from your link:

    Officers arrived in less than two minutes, and found four people suffering from gunshot wounds. Two of the four were pronounced dead at the scene. Police named one victim, Eduardo Sandoval, 22, of Stockton. The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office on Tuesday identified the second victim as Mario Vidales Mendez, 23, of Redwood City.

    Menlo Park Fire Protection District fire and AMR ambulance crews also responded to the scene, taking two other victims suffering from life-threatening injuries to an area hospital. No update on their conditions was immediately available Sunday evening.

    Police said they believe the shooting happened after a dispute erupted into physical confrontation outside a privately held adult Halloween party outside the rear of a business complex.

    Clubs, rocks, swords, knives, b**bs, guns---all the same. Manifestations of a continuing, bloody, uncivilized sentience. Relax. Enjoy it. It's our destiny.

    This is really accurate. We saw every single one of these arguments right here on our very own hipforums!

    when you have an example of thoughtless belligerence in high places, this has an influence.
    you can call that politicizing and whine about it for me to say that, but doing so doesn't make it any less real.

    Black-eyed Children and the Lizard people are the greatest threat this democracy has ever faced, and it’s incumbent upon each of us to prepare
    by purchasing more weapons at the local gun shop [​IMG]
