I had a different back doctor in Tulsa. Weird... I'm completely guessing but it sounds like this guy might have been after more and more pain meds. Once someone goes down the withdrawal stage road from opioids, people do desperate things.

Our kids and young adults are on more psychotropic medications than any country in the world, by a LARGE margin. We also lead the world with drug abuse (opioids, marijuana, meth, etc.). We have the highest single parent household percentage in the world. Lots of reasons that we ignore.

We need to focus on the core of the problem and it's not guns. That's the end results of the problem. There are a plethora of other things that lead to the point of a shooting event.

Because the media and left want to go after the AR platform. That's why. I've sad MANY times, handguns run the kingdom in the United States. If that's home protection or death. It's not even close to AR's. BTW: a huge percent of those deaths are suicides

I didn't argue against that. I'm explaining: More hands, fists, feet have killed than AR-15's. Nearly the same number of hammers/clubs have killed as all rifles. Right or wrong?

You asked dude. Guns will be the most widely used murder weapon. Usually that way in every country in the world. But my point, people want to kill they usually find a way. More fists kill people than AR-15's each year. A lot more. That wasn't the point of why I posted. Just FYI.

Around 400 per year in the United States. Nearly the same number of people killed by all rifles (450) which include bolt action, AR platforms, AK platforms, etc. To answer your last question... about 400.

March... https://news.wttw.com/2022/03/16/man-charged-killing-pair-hammer-holding-woman-captive-days-gresham-home

Wouldn't matter if it's a gun or a hammer. If someone is determined to kill someone, they usually find a way to do it. 26 murdered in Japan, burned to death in March Four stabbed in London in April 3 stabbed and killed in France

Sad deal. My youngest daughter was born at St. Francis in Tulsa (part of the hospital complex). This looks to be a targeted attack on a doctor. Black shooter took his own life.

You're 100000000000000000000% correct. These are all the reasons we have the problems we have today. I'd added "breakdown of the nuclear family" as another cause. This is, again, in the year 2360 when Picard is the captain of the Enterprise D?

Someday we will? Ban guns? Is this when phasers come out? Firearms will never go away. Thankfully.

lol So is gunpowder

He's a MASSIVE dumbass. "And I sat with a trauma doctor, and I asked him — I said, “What’s the difference? Why are so many people…” — and not that many more people were being shot. This is now 20 years ago, or 25 years. I said, “Why are they dying?” And they showed me x-rays. He said, “A .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out, may be able to get it, and save the life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body.” So the idea of these high-caliber weapons is of — there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of thinking about self-protection, hunting." It's only the most popular self defense caliber in the United States. No biggie Joe.

They need to do so much more. I'm a mental health counselor and former Army. There are NO MOS's (Military Occupation Specialty) for a LPC (masters degree, licensed professional counselor). I would re-enlist if there was. There are jobs like Social Workers (masters degree) but not for counselors. You have to be a phycologist. My youngest daughter (now a soph at Ole Miss) established a non-profit "lemonade stand" when she was 8 and started raising money for Mission 22 and Paws for Purple Hearts. Mission 22 is a GREAT org. trying to help stop veteran suicide if anyone wants to donate to help. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/05/30/remarks-by-president-biden-after-marine-one-arrival-10/

Biden now is wanting to go after the 9mm..... only the most popular self defense round in the country. But no, they don't want to go after our guns.

You can conceal carry in many churches already. That's a choice. You can't protect everything. It's like trying to stop car accidents.

That it's not reality. We'd all love world peace and for people to hold hands but unfortunately people can be evil. Free will is part of being human and some will do it to hurt others.

Well, when the Vulcans make first contact with us and it's year 2360 and Captain Picard is commanding the NCC-1701-D, we can have world peace.

Just to post actual hard points with surveillance the school I work at (these are today, school has been out for 2 weeks now). You aren't getting into the school without eyes on you. Only one door opens and it's an "buzz in" door that locks automatically. There are 7 cameras alone pointing towards the entrance in various angles. We also have gunshot sound devices that will alert LEO is they think a shot is fired in the area.

Cool story. Have a great day. (and my ideas about 'shootings', esp. school shootings are all valid and practical)

I'm talking about the PM of Canada. Not the United States. LOL

I'm very aware. It's a blanket statement in regards to someone wanting to control the population(s) rights. But let's talk.... East Germany, the communist party outlawed firearm ownership completely. USSR allowed only smoothbore shotguns for hunting. Everything else had to be turned in or get thrown in prison. In China today? Only a select few can own a firearm and only for hunting.

We have gun control in America. We have 20,000+ laws in the books regarding firearms. Also, a machine gun is an assault weapon. Not a semi-automatic rifle or handgun. That's a media and DC made up term. Misapplied. I've talked about ideas. All I've heard from the left or anti-gun people is "ban assault weapons". Not a surprise though. BTW: The school I'm at is far from "military fortifications".

Okay, goodbye (since I know how to ignore someone!) And yea, you're IQ level is likely below the US average. Based on your moronic rants and assumptions, lack of sarcasm and reality... I'd guess 85 give or take 5 points. You might go apply for SSDI if you haven't already.
