A Nation of Gun Nuts!

but the more money that Wayne can make as top dog of the NRA , then good for him PSteve .

He not going to be making as much from now on. Customer pressure is causing companies to stop their support and deals with the NRA. And it's spreading fast.

[mayhem]

So, the implication is that once the number of guns reaches a critical mass, they start firing themselves?

You guys might want to check the bus schedules. Delta and United have ceased their former relationship to the gun nutz.

I think things are about to change big time. The grass roots is pissed. There is a school shooting somewhere in this country an average of every 60 hours. Up until now, nobody was paying attention. Now they are.

maybe , course look at the stories of official taxpayer paid 'first responders ' that punked out
and hid . So who knows , lets watch and see what happens PSteve .

They are because this President, unlike the bum we had before, has chosen to make aggressive moves towards fixing it.

Moves? What moves?

A school shooting every 60 hours? Bullcrap. 4 or 5 times a year, maybe.

By "customer pressure", I assume you mean the handful of activists and their bots.

Moves? What moves?

Banning bump stocks..raising the age to buy guns to 21, and get all of the governors and the whole country talking about armed personnel in schools..be they teachers, hired security, parent volunteers, retired or off duty cops..whatever.

Previously, the reaction from the Muslim President was to continue to politicize every event..getting us nowhere.

Well, Obama did cry and let the tears run all the way down his cheeks for the most effective photo-ops for the complicit media. So, there's that.

[planosteve]

Banning bump stocks and raising the age limits aren't "moves". They are just talk. He doesn't even have the authority to do those things.

U think he has already banned the bump stocks.

Can you please define "school shooting" and then tell us of the ten or eleven that, according to you, have occurred so far in February in this country?

I could give you the reference if you had asked back when I posted it. According to CNN there were 8 incidents so far this year by the middle of Feb defined as at least one person being shot on school property. That's about 1 shooting incident every 135 hours. So, I'm guessing the 60 hr figure was based on per person, not incident.

[ralph]

310 million Americans of all sorts according to 2010 Census not including the 20 - 30 million illegals in the USA . And Americans own million and millions of guns that are all over the place in every State of the USA . Its a shame but 17 kids were murdered by some whacko a weeks or so ago and thats the facts .

Planosteve: Go ahead and highlight the "school shootings" so we have an idea of how you are defining them. I went ahead and did the first two for you.

I'm just telling you what I read from CNN. You can read their parameters here:

CNBC analyzed the claim of 17 school shootings in the U. S. so far this year (the earlier claim of 18 included the case of a person who committed suicide on what had formerly been school grounds). The list included the Florida and Kentucky cases that fit the definition of a "school shooting" as it is generally understood, meaning a shooting on a school ground during school hours or at a school event with a student perpetrator or with students threatened. Some of the other highlights:

DENISON, Tex. (KXII) -- School officials said a bullet from an accidental discharge went through a classroom wall, came out through the other side and exited through a window.
It happened at the Grayson College Criminal Justice Center on Jan. 10.
Vice President of Business Services Giles Brown said a criminal justice club advisor was showing two students how to use a computerized firearms simulator before the incident occurred.
He said the instructor took his live weapon and put it in a box so it would not be confused with the training weapon.
We’re told that the box did not have a lock on it, and that the instructor later left the room, taking the training firearm with him.
“One of the students thought the instrument inside the box was the training instrument so she picked it up,” Brown said.
Then, Brown said, she fired it at a target on the wall, realizing her mistake instantly. [Clever girl, it would take most people a good while to realize that was a mistake.]

St. Paul · Feb 5, 2018
A gathering designed to build relationships between Maplewood police and some grade-schoolers nearly turned tragic Monday when a child got his finger on the officer's holstered gun and pulled the trigger.
A school liaison officer at Harmony Learning Center in Maplewood was in the gym Monday afternoon talking to a group of third- and fourth-graders, the Maplewood Police Department said in a statement.
While the officer was seated on a bench, the third-grader sitting next to the officer "reached over and placed his finger into the officer's gun holster and pressed the trigger of the officer's gun causing it to discharge through the bottom of the holster," the department said, adding the bullet struck the floor and "no one was injured."

Having an armed police officer in every school should certainly prevent incidents like the two above.

Gravel von Bagelatflapplegab,

Did you read your own words .... " ...to continue to politicize every event.. " you wrote this with a straight face while you were watching Hannity, right? Or was it Gutz Limshaw, or Immaculate Shabaaz Savagesquirrely?

... to continue to politicize every event.. ... man, you are funnier than Chris Rock!!!

[GFB]

Every school shooting was instantaneously politicized.

Everyone else knew what I meant, since school shootings were what was being discussed.
