This is all true and there is little the citizens of America can do about it. In America we have the right to bear arms. It is in our bill of rights as citizens of the USA.

And having said that, there is one power our President has. Our President is our commander in chief. He/She is commander over all our military divisions.
The Ar15 was designed, and mass-manufactured for our military for the sole purpose of killing fellow human beings.


Ar15s

Since the AR-15 was designed and manufactured under the direction of our Commander and Chef,
the President of the USA, Joe Biden could order the recall of all military firearms as property of our military.


I vote for it
How about you--?

For me, it is all about the fact that every known power across history removes weapons from the population in order to control it.
I guess that's what makes Australia one big barbed-wire-enclosed gulag.....
Didn't you see the lockdowns we had?

Ask the aborigines if they wish they had guns 200 years ago.

Ask these victims and their loved ones if they wish Salvador Ramos didn't have a firearm:

Makenna Lee Elrod, 10
Layla Salazar, 11
Maranda Mathis, 11
Nevaeh Bravo, 10
Jose Manuel Flores Jr., 10
Xavier Lopez, 10
Tess Marie Mata, 10
Rojelio Torres, 10
Eliahna “Ellie” Amyah Garcia, 9
Eliahna A. Torres, 10
Annabell Guadalupe Rodriguez, 10
Jackie Cazares, 9
Uziyah Garcia
Jayce Carmelo Luevanos, 10
Maite Yuleana Rodriguez, 10
Jailah Nicole Silguero, 10
Irma Garcia, 48
Eva Mireles, 44
Amerie Jo Garza, 10
Alexandria “Lexi” Aniyah Rubio, 10
Alithia Ramirez, 10

Of course, we can pretend that what happened 200 years ago has any bearing on today's reality, or we can discuss today's crisis.

One murder is a tragedy a million a statistic.

Anyway I posted. I would rather 30 dead per day in a mass shooting than 1 million dead in a genocide.

Both seem more preventable with guns than without.

Edit: Given the state of reality in July 2022 ask those victims why they weren't protected by armed guards.

Edit 2: We know why. Leftist politics.

Nope, this is not what you said. You stated something about 200 years ago.

This doesn't match your earlier claim either, you implied if aboriginals had guns 200 years ago their subjugation wouldn't have happened.
Edit 2: We know why. Leftist politics.
I'd love to see evidence for this claim but am quite sure it won't be forthcoming.

Suppose a genocide kills 1 million people and suppose it is preventable by the 1 million people having guns but the cost of owning guns is 30 deaths per day from shootings.

It would take 1,000,000 / 30 = 33,333 days or 33,333 / 365 = 91 years to equal that genocide death toll.

I prefer the shootings.

Late night tv is not what it was. We can agree on that.

This late night tv is quoting statistics, and late night tv in general not being "what it was" is irrelevant. Can we agree on that?

OK so if I watch 26 minutes of John Oliver, something no person in history has done, what will you do for me?
