    I own a gun, I'm not in a gang and my gun hasn't shot anyone. In the hands of a gang banger my gun story could be very different, I mean, why do they need guns, isn't that what you guys always preach? I have a gun for sport and, hopefully never, defense. Gang bangers have guns to go on offense. See the difference? The population ratios of your country doesn't facilitate the kind of gangs we have here and the people who tend to be in them. And because illegals don't flock to your country, you don't have the same emerging threats we encounter. So in the name of diversity, who should Abbott fly to your country, MS13 gang bangers or some Crips?

    It's amazing how not having a land border with another country keeps unwanted stuff and people out.

    You don't border a nation full of criminals given free access to your country.

    You mean this was in Missouri

    Whatever the case, mass shootings happen anywhere in the US where there are people, and they happen more regularly in the US than anywhere else in the world

    It's always better to blame the inanimate object.
    Blame the tool and not the user of the tool.

    Don't even pretend if this shooting could have been pinned on a white conservative that that wouldn't be blasted all over the forum.

    And remember it's not the people that are the problem that are the problem, it's the people pointing out the problem.... Those people are the real problem

    You know - no one except the crims here are complaining about being “harassed” over guns. Basically that is because if you are not a criminal you CAN own a gun - you just have to do the one thing that some Americans find horrific I.e. act responsibly with it

    I heard it was a Clintonista taking out another witness against her.

    But that is the point - our crime rate is not higher than yours but our mortality rate is far far lower. No one - not even Donald “presidents are above the law” Trump has absolute freedom

    Not even I was happy to do so, but I complied as I had just seen many Aussies mown down by a prick with a gun.

    And please don't try the false equivalence between abortion and having a bloody big boy toy used to slaughter people just to stroke "your" ago and "your" cold dead hands about which 'you' sensationally dramatise such a bloody trivial thing like having a toy and resisting having it to give it up so that your fellow Americans might have a better chance of going to a Chief's parade and surviving doing so.

    Here in America we don't take away people's rights because a tiny fraction choose to abuse their rights. Rights are something that people in other countries might not understand so much about.

    Rights are not conditional, privileges can be granted and revoked.

    And that's why the USA is doing so well keeping its citizens safe from being slaughtered at a Super Bowl parade.

    Be smug. Enjoy.

    If the last four years have shown us anything, it is that 90% of all police chiefs in America are not white men.... That's interesting.

    We will continue to enjoy our rights. Sometimes freedom can be a dangerous thing and the government can't keep you safe from everything.

    Those who expect the government to keep them safe from everything will soon wake up in a police state.... Such as Australia

    Goodo, and meanwhile, your citizens get slaughtered at the altar of 'your rights" to play with big boy toys.

    As I said, be smug and enjoy the scenery at that Chief's parade.

    Oh....and don't forget, thoughts and prayers.

    Please try your hyperbolic emotional appeal on someone else.

    Our murder rate is going down. Can your country say that?

    If guns were the problem, our murder rate wouldn't be going down.

    If guns were the problem, your murder rate wouldn't have gone up.

    See how that works?

    That is spot on. Things are really screwed up. The only "life" that has value is the embryo/ fetus. After that , it is fair game .
    This crazy incident is an example of how Americas do "conflict resolution"............and don't care who gets hurt in the process.
