Right, I honestly know you don't. But if anyone speaks up from a gun rights side they'll be banned, reprimanded, or piled on by the rest of the community who has gotten away with the mudslinging for a very long time. 3 4

If murder was legal, there'd be a lot more of it. My ex is probably fortunate that it is against the law, lol. And there really is no push to ban all guns. 2

Maybe that’s the case and this issue cannot be discussed civilly. But, IMO, it is certainly worth discussion
Draconator Posted February 14 Posted February 14 One dead, 22 shot. 3 people arrested and under investigation.

Draconator Posted February 14 Posted February 14 8 life-threatening injuries. 9 people were transferred to the Children's Hospital in KC, nothing on the ages of those that were taken there. 1

Dr. K Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Mental health issues are a problem in every country, but no other country on the planet has the problems with gun deaths that the U.S. has. You can't solve this through "better access to mental health treatment" though I am all for that. 350 million weapons in the hands of citizens are the problem. It's too easy for bad actors to murder the people around them. The numbers can't be reduced unless you reduce the number, availability, and lethality of the weapons in our country. 5 3

Stop making it political just to 🍆💦 Y'all need to avoid the politics and go to PPP. No one gives a ***** about anyone's political opinions on this. Go there to the cesspool. https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/169012-what-is-better-no-guns-or-more-guns/page/519/#comments 1

Doc Brown Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Wow. Terrible day on what was supposed to be a joyous occasion. I pray for all those kids being treated in the hospital right now. 2

boyst Posted February 14 Posted February 14 https://www.wbaltv.com/article/kansas-city-chiefs-super-bowl-parade-shooting-video-person-detained/46791224 The only video I've found showing the suspect being apprehended.
Mark Vader Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Did this take place during or after the parade? Where was the location of the shootings?

Nah, that requires responsibility which is something we are great at passing off. 9 minutes ago, klos63 said: Impossible, 800 cops ( good guys with guns) were there.

Security is for show and really can't stop any of this. At least they caught the people this time. Didn't prevent it from happening though. 1
Warcodered Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Terrible and sad news, hope for a speedy recovery for those injured. I think we can all agree on the solution here though, never let the Chiefs win a Super Bowl again. 😉 2 3

Pretty sure the “good guys with guns” argument was put to bed in Uvalde when over 70 good guys with guns just stood in the hallway doing nothing. That said, the vast majority of police and other first responders in these situations run towards the danger trying to make a difference. 2 1

Chased him down, tackled him, and held him until the cops got there. 1
