I have a couple of questions.

“The response [in Oxford] was executed perfectly, yet four children were killed and multiple injuries occurred,” said the Oakland County prosecutor leading the criminal case. “We really can’t train ourselves out of this tragedy.”


“A 13-year-old kid, doesn’t weigh but about 80 pounds, was able to make a weapon from start to finish. At 13 years old.”
— Tim Pounds, sheriff of Douglas County, Georgia, after a 13-year-old boy fatally shot his 14-year-old sister with a ghost gun assembled with parts he bought online, in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.


In a country where there are more guns than people is there nothing more we can do?

If violence and death are the price of freedom, why is it that only the innocents pay it?

1. Stop teaching kids that there are no moral absolutes.

2. Stop living out your belief that there are no moral absolutes.

3. Stop demonstrating your belief that human life has no meaning by stopping your support for at-will full-term abortion, and instead opposing all abortions not medically necessary (e.g. tubal pregnancies).

And according to many sources, the black population and single women have been purchasing weapons legally at a very high rate.

Blacks however are not buying guns for political purposes. They are buying guns to protect themselves from other blacks. I wonder if they will realize the Democrats have abandoned them.

By refusing to prosecute/jail criminals, Democrats have opened the floodgates of crime. People will buy guns when the police will not protect them.

This concern is of Democrat making.

I'm not a "gun guy" so much, but I've got 3 "long guns" (.22 and 9mm carbine) and 5 handguns (2 were agency issue I bought when we changed issue weapons).
