This discussion should have nothing to do with abortion. I want babies to be born too (I'm actually an adoptive parent). But I also don't want kids and teachers getting shot up in schools.
Always parroting the talking points that the DNC and communist Lamestream media are putting out.
As discussed in depth earlier in this thread, the entire purpose of the Second Amendment is to equip a "civilian army" that can defend the nation, from all enemies, foreign or a tyrannical domestic government. So the purpose of the 2A is for citizens to have military-grade weapons.
It's not "reasonable" people that think that AR-15s should be banned. It's ignorant people who think so. It's people who have no clue what the purpose of the 2A is. Or people who do recognize that purpose, but who are opposed to our God-given right to self defense.

The purpose is right there in the plain language of the text...because a "militia is necessary for the security of the state" (paraphrasing). A militia. An army. To defend the nation...against other armies or governments. Meaning people need to be armed with military-grade weaponry.

(of course, the focus right now is 18 yo becausee the last two were 18, but the majority who conducted these active shooter situations in 2021 were 30+ years old).

And correct, no one cares about murders in inner city (except for a small sliver of people who are impacted by it directly). If anyone of ability to influence actually cared, things would already have been done. Instead, it just plods along, the same as it ever was. Are you disagreeing with this?

As far as the quote goes as many say it was from Jefferson as they do that say he didn't. You rely on your lefty news outlets and I'll rely on mine. No one can definitively prove that he did/did not say it. Regardless, it's the damn truth whoever said it.
Now instead of worrying about the wording of the meme why don't you address the subject matter? Or does that invade your "safe space?"
Not the semantics of a meme.
The totality of a meme. That you were grandstanding about and inviting everyone who'd listen to fact-check.
Just say the meme was complete bull**** and be done with it.
But you won't do that. Instead you'll keep obstructing reasonable conversation about abortion, gun control, or school shootings with more "whatabout-isms" about gang violence.
Stop getting your news from social media memes.
I believe everyone, on here, sees the mass media covered shooting, as horrific. The point, I believe, BBW is trying to make is regarding the inconsistencies in reporting on all mass shootings; or, for that matter murders, in general.
So, murders, whether done by white people, brown people, or black people, on either white people, brown people, or black people are equally tragic and sickening.
I would hope people would understand that pro 2nd amendment advocates see each of these murders equally sad. No more or less sad than maybe you see them. That said, pro 2nd amendment folks also see the narrative about guns as concocted when it looks as if it feels right for certain people.
If one cares about unnecessary death, then, shouldn't they feel that way all the time?
I think the above question is really all this is about when people show different statistics, whether one agrees with the statistics or not...
Second, and maybe more at point -- the shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo are completely unrelated and not even comparable to the nightly killings in inner city crime areas....and I think anyone with half a brain knows this. They have nothing to do with each other.
That person with half a brain also know why the coverage is different. Same reason as why if a pedestrian gets struck walking in a poor neighborhood, it gets zero coverage, but if the person is in Ballantyne, it would leave the news coverage for multiple episodes. So when every day poor crime-riddled kill other poor crime-riddled people, it doesn't move the meter. But shoot a bunch of kids in a neigbhorhood that isn't that far removed from yours or mine.....thats a different story altogether. And I know you know that, we all are smart enough to understand that.
And its never an issue for any of us....until someone wants to just be a jack and throw the topic offline and post about it in every post they make. (Its clear too his comments want to make it a black person issue as he continually points out "that one demographic" lol).

Look, my entire point about the inner city murders is with a point of cynicism. Of course, someone cares. But outside the community, not enough.

But you won't do that. Instead you'll keep obstructing reasonable conversation about abortion, gun control, or school shootings with more "whatabout-isms" about gang violence.
Stop getting your news from social media memes.
I believe everyone, on here, sees the mass media covered shooting, as horrific. The point, I believe, BBW is trying to make is regarding the inconsistencies in reporting on all mass shootings; or, for that matter murders, in general.
So, murders, whether done by white people, brown people, or black people, on either white people, brown people, or black people are equally tragic and sickening.
I would hope people would understand that pro 2nd amendment advocates see each of these murders equally sad. No more or less sad than maybe you see them. That said, pro 2nd amendment folks also see the narrative about guns as concocted when it looks as if it feels right for certain people.
If one cares about unnecessary death, then, shouldn't they feel that way all the time?
I think the above question is really all this is about when people show different statistics, whether one agrees with the statistics or not...
Second, and maybe more at point -- the shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo are completely unrelated and not even comparable to the nightly killings in inner city crime areas....and I think anyone with half a brain knows this. They have nothing to do with each other.
That person with half a brain also know why the coverage is different. Same reason as why if a pedestrian gets struck walking in a poor neighborhood, it gets zero coverage, but if the person is in Ballantyne, it would leave the news coverage for multiple episodes. So when every day poor crime-riddled kill other poor crime-riddled people, it doesn't move the meter. But shoot a bunch of kids in a neigbhorhood that isn't that far removed from yours or mine.....thats a different story altogether. And I know you know that, we all are smart enough to understand that.
And its never an issue for any of us....until someone wants to just be a jack and throw the topic offline and post about it in every post they make. (Its clear too his comments want to make it a black person issue as he continually points out "that one demographic" lol).
Chem, I get it… people are tired of BBW. That said, I don't really think I've missed the point at all. In my eyes, a homicide is a homicide. Whether it's one person or a group of people being killed. It's awful!
Also, let's not pretend the media doesn't want viewers and will do anything for them. So, making a big story out of the Texas massacre gets more attention/viewers than an unfortunate thug on Bloodworth street, in Raleigh.
Would that be called racism?

But...we are ALL guilty of that. Most of the people getting killed are criminals. Involved in crime. Moving drugs. Part of gangs. So most people....I think its safe to say everyone on this board, and 99% of the country, kind of says "thats what happens when you live that lifestyle", and moves on. Basically, it is not us.
So yes, overkill of me to say "no one cares"...but in reality, it doesn't and won't, affect, so you just ignore it (global "you" here)
Contrast to a family taking their 80 yo matriarch to the local grocery like they have every Saturday for years. Or a bunch of kids showing up at school. Or the workers sitting at their desks in the office. Or the churchgoers going to church.
That is 180 degrees different. That is us. That is you. That hits close to home.
Is there a ratings angle from media. Sure. Is there a financial / what can you do for me angle from government -- absolutely. But ultimately, to each of us, we hear about another shooting in Hidden Valley (I was born in Hidden Valley, would not go into that place now), we just accept it and move on. Thats on all of us.
**Outside of Packgrad, who when not fighting against the man for trying to make him wear a mask, apparently also grieves over every inner city murder he hears tell of. I'm interested to learn what he's doing about it.

Nice racist rant. You really put it out there. You don't care. "Most getting killed are criminals. Involved in crime. Moving drugs. Part of gangs."
I can only imagine the outrage and moderation if BBW or GW posted that.
Pro tip…. Your last little comment emphasizes how this is all virtue signaling for you. You're just in it to win a message board argument and hopefully get likes. Masks have nothing to do with this conversation.
What am I doing? Voting in elections. Volunteering.

Lol. You can call me whatever you want.
Show me where you've started threads about the inner city crime and how to cure it (well, other than your comment about all the poor people just moving -did you appeal to your city councils to redone your community yet to accommodate that)?
Show me where folks like up to drop off flowers and stuffed animals and such at the site of these inner city killings?
Do you really think they get treated the same? By anyone?
It's really a simple question.
ARs are controlled exactly the same as every other semi-automatic weapon. The same lethality exists with semi-automatic weapons in handgun form as in rifle form. The reason inner city killings are mentioned is those locations usually already have the gun bans you prefer with no positive effect. Likewise, those locations are governed by Democrats who try to politicize gun control for hoped for gains in the election booth. Time and time again we see these methods don't help Democrats, but they continue to try the same failed policies.Quote:
But now, all the sudden, when everyone starts talking about all these active shooter incidents and proliferation with very little controls of ARs, guys are coming out of the woodwork to talk about inner city shootings.

Imagine one of the Conservative posters making the same comments. We would be vilified to no ends and rightfully so. You are saying that the lives of the people, mostly kids, who are killed are meaningless and not worth the trouble of discussing.Quote:

Yes I said that. Its true. You can keep showing it, as far as I'm concerned. Or you can try to prove me wrong. Its incredibly sad, but you'll not convince me that enough people care to do anything.BBW12OG said:

Pathetic isn't the word to describe this. If you were to say that in public whatever type of job you have, if you do have a job, you wouldn't for long.
Here are the reasons you don't want to address it
- In order to begin fixing it you have to admit there is a problem
- By admitting there is a problem you will be admitting that decades of left run cities are a failure and in disarray
- By admitting that you would be admitting that the very group the party depends on for winning elections has been left to die in the streets
- Showing attention to the problem would bring up the issue of what the hell took so long and why all of a sudden after 50+ years do you care now?
- Also grand standing every two years and placating to them only to leave them to die again the day after the election would be exposed for all to see
- The leaders, black, white, Hispanic or whatever would also be exposed as failures because they were in charge for decades and did NOTHING
You see where this is going? You and your lefty brethren can't address the issue because you are completely responsible for the issue and have since its' inception.
Here are a few people who are complicit in the situation as well that very well could speak out against but don't.
- Barrack Hussein Obama - former Senator of Illinois, former POTUS - Illinois
- Kamala Harris - Former DA/Senator, current VPOTUS - California
- Cory Booker - Senate Member - New Jersey
- James Clyburn - 3rd Ranking Member of the House of Rep. since 1993 - South Carolina
- Maxine Waters - House of Rep. Member since 1991 - California
- Eddie Bernice Johnson - House of Rep Member since 1993 - TX
- Sanford Bishop - House of Rep. member since 1993 GA
- Shelia Jackson Lee - House of Rep. member since 1995 TX
- Danny Davis - House of Rep. member since 1997 - Illinois
The rest of the list you can access here. It is not a "right wing propaganda site" or meme like you and your lefty brigade accuse me of only posting. I post articles, news clips and the occasional funny as hell meme or one with statistics.
