3 hours after the latest mass shooting in Texas a series of new laws takes effect to make it easier to own and carry firearms in that state.
That is their solution..........for the average of 300 mass shoo;ting per year.

THREE HUNDRED MASS SHOOTINGS per yr.

CNN reporting. Sorry no link for this. tragic statistic.

Texas, a whole lot of the rest of the US and about a quarter of the posters on this forum maintain that there is no connection between the availability of firearms and the criminal use of firearms.

I would say that if my children had shown the inability of detecting such simple and obvious patterns such as those, I would have been deeply worried about their normalcy.

would seriously like to have them explain this shootings phenomena............if it has no correlation between availability and the events.

Will they parrot what Trump says about mental illness.?? OK.........in part that is a big factor. NO NORMAL person in control o f his emotions would go off on a shoring spree..........but it is a bit more complex than that.......and availability is a big factor. Not sue anyone can justify a nation having MORE guns out in the general public than there are people. The gun culture has exited in the US from its inception. Gun possession is as ingrained in their lives as buying groceries. It is now in their DNA........so it is too late for effective gun laws. So it will just be more shootings....... moer "thoughts and prayers, more vigils and this circular behavior will just continue. Just keep a good supply7 of candles around. THAT is the USofA

Ask Maxime what he thinks of Non Whites.

I'm not running. Neither is Hillary.

He is.
Are you trying to paint regular everyday Canadians as intolerant bigots for being unhappy with the direction the country is headed under the current REGIME ? Hey can I take another couple of grand out of your granddaughters college fund for you .

It is a wonder that they let them have guns.

......wait: it is their RIGHT to own GUNS........as many and as lethal as they want. The more guns , the more manly(testosterone deficiency??)........and more "safe" they "feel"

Something is seriously out of whack ....


..No......it isn't. It is the NORM.
I wonder how Toronto did tonight . It won’t be newsworthy unless it is a multiple number .

I wonder how many young wowen were murdered in the shadows along a BC highway, this weekend? Thing about that is, they never find the remains. Maybe, they still do it the old traditional BC way like Willie Picton did and feed them to the pigs while they're still alive.

Trump's boyz at it again

This is the fellow who shot up Texas the other day.

It appears that (and this is shocking) he had been fired from his trucking job not long before the incident.

I will speculate that he is not a muslim. Not an Immigrant. Not a BLM terrorist. Not an antifa. Not a transgender.

I believe he is just another white guy with a mental problem.

Because when white guys shoot a bunch of people it's because they have a mental problem.
