How many children have to die so some yahoo does not worry about gun rights

This is becoming insane..

schools, shops, gas stations, walking around, churches.. anyone with a grudge can get a gun and go shoot the place up.. or shoot people he or she does not like the look of, or someone knocked on their door.. or was playing soccer.. its never ending, and the first thing the gun lobby does is say a prayer and gin up the brain dead that the left is coming for their guns.. and what the gun nuts first reaction.. BUY MORE GUNS!!

And what is cure from right wing state governments.. let people carry guns without licenses. God give me strength

I am tired of all the excuses.. hunters, gangs, enthusiasts, what ever.. enough is enough..

"A gunfight erupted at a Florida intersection when people in cars began indiscriminately shooting at each other in the middle of the night, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. The number of shooters involved remains a mystery, but one man died and another was wounded, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. Identities of the two have not been released."

exposed weapons so you can basically strap on six shooters, just like the old west, I guess. These states are going off the deep end.

as well in Missouri. Saw this guy one day at local pharmacy several years ago checking out and had gun on small holster. I actually thought he might be a detective of some kind, but looking back I don’t think he would make it obvious he was carrying a gun.

I never used any of them, but when I used to run in the dark early hours, I did carry it.

But yeah, against a gun? Nope.

Some assume they will never have to kill so no need for a killing-machine.
Others arm themselves to be ready to do so.

All the gun violence would end after president biden was elected. It's like all these militant Republicans doubled down on their fury Nashville and Louisville shouldve been a wake up call for thinking people.

Look up mass shootings. There doesn't seem to be any comparison as to who is president at any specific time.
