If you read every single back and forth you would know we were talking about .223 and 00 buck shot from close range. All you have to do is Google or watch YouTube to see what damage both do from close quarters. A small calibre high powered rifle is going to do less damage than a shotgun blast to the chest is what the point was. People trying to ban AR-15 because they are "weapons of war" (false btw) should be just as worried if not more so than if the attacker used a shotgun which most people feel are much safer or less powerful somehow I'm simply pointing out that what you said is not correct. A 5.56 or .223 round will not pass right through you without doing much damage, and a shotgun round (slug or buck shot) will not put a bowling ball size hole in you. Both firearms are very effective. (I own both and have shot thousands of rounds through them. My shotgun is my go to home defense option) There is nothing to be gained on either side of the issue by exaggerating or minimizing claims. The AR-15 is not a "weapon of war" nor is it a small caliber rifle that would just put a little hole in you. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. The reason so many issues are never resolved is that both sides are intent on making extreme statements and demands and unwilling to look at things from a common sense approach.

Demographers have been saying this since the ‘70s, way before Fox News was around. Anyway, you’re confused. The MSM peddles fear .. “ racism, Covid, Anti- gay LBG “blah blah blah. Their goal is to have everyone afraid of some existential crisis that requires more government intrusion to “ fix”.

Their goal is to have everyone afraid of some existential crisis that requires more government intrusion to “ fix”. Both sides of the media and politicians peddle fear and divisiveness. It ensures that they remain relevant and in power. It also makes it so they do not have to be correct or actually accomplish anything. Their rabid fan bases are so intent on proving the other side wrong and blaming any failures on the other party, that they do not hold their own side responsible for anything. It is a sick cycle of ignorance that guarantees that a moderate, common sense, third party will not gain traction. Enough people are so afraid of what the other extreme will do, they blindly head to the polls and accept whatever piece of trash their party throws out there. The more divided, angry, and ignorant the general population is, the richer and more entrenched the major media players and politicians become. 1 1

What makes a bigger hole from 5 ft away? 00 buck shot or .223? That was the whole point. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill. The point is the 12 gauge is a formidable weapon and will do even more damage than a AR-15 at close range but that's the one everyone is scared of and wants to ban for some reason

The year before saw 611. And 2019 had 417 Nearly every one of them are gang shootings. Not a school shooting or what took place in Buffalo. And of those 600+ both years you listed? The VAST majority are carried out by minorities. That goes against the media narrative if we are counting "mass shootings". Edited May 17, 2022 by ArdmoreRyno 1
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 A quote from the other side: "Law enforcement had the opportunity [remove weapons out of his life] to do so when they ordered an evaluation on him following threat of school shooting." The answer to this is clear. They didn't, just like they didn't put barricades up on January 6th. ANY other person or group... They wouldn't have been so lax.

So they were laxed with this kid in Buffalo because........ ?? They screwed up. Unfortunately, it happens. With the 'red flag laws' many people instantly lose their firearms. Sometimes they don't and mistakes are made. Look at what happened in the church shooting a few years ago in Texas. The dude was dishonorably discharged from the military and the Navy and FBI both dropped the ball when he was allowed to pass a NICS check (form 4473, background check).

Let me ask you about a planned "BLM event" you mention... what "event(s)" were there barricades put up? Pre-Jan 6th; can you let me know where pro-Trump rallies turned "violent" or had an property damage? What events/protests for BLM, where there "barricades" put into place?

They're all horrible... but I would love to see CNN talk about the 600+ people killed in 2020 in "mass shootings" and who carried them out. They *ONLY* care about one certain race and how it was carried out (weapon type).

billsfan_34 Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Boatdrinks said: A few years back when this myth was all the rage in the media, the total number all year was less than 20 (people of color shot by Police). That’s in a country of 330 million people. If you’re a criminal and point your gun at your own head / neck whatever, now the Police have to try to talk you out of it. Even suspected murderers get that treatment. This loser may have planned on going out in a blaze of bullets but he turned the gun on himself instead. Suspects get shot when they make sudden movements, reach in a jacket or toward their waistline etc . ie they don’t follow instructions. Tibs is a blathering racist who doesn’t pay attention to the facts and data. All about the narrative with him. There are about 1,000 Police involved shootings per year fairly consistently. More Caucasians shot than others. Truly unarmed is a very small number of individuals. I would have to agree- do not do anything stupid, and you live to fight another day. Ive always listened to what police have told me along with being respectful and kind, and it always worked out well for me. I really wish we can all come together and just be Americans. I served for 21 years so others wouldn’t have to suffer here on the home front, but here we are fighting and killing each other, for what? 1

Of course both of us are somewhere in middle off the axis. Can't have it both ways. Both ideologies are concerned with the environment. Edited May 17, 2022 by ExiledInIllinois
