    I get that you don't understand the US and it's freedoms. And if it so offends you, why not move to a nation that more suits your comfort? The awesome thing about freedom is that you aren't forced to endure it. The concept that you don't think folks who are police or other government folks would mindlessly follow the tyranny of your world view is kind of cute in it' puerility.. And honestly, that is really why I think the liberal elite are super afraid of guns....

    Could it be that the whole thing was a training exercise? One of the many "lone shooter" exercises conducted by police forces around the country?

    The 2nd amendment made it clear that Americans were never supposed to trust government to "protect and serve" them. When at least half of the public are known to be carrying concealed handguns the peace will be kept.

    Step 1: Arm and empower the people, AKA, the first responders, and disarm almost all police.

    Average (Mean) Annual Death Rate per Million People from Mass Public Shootings (U.S., Canada, and Europe, 2009-2015):
    1. Norway — 1.888
    2. Serbia — 0.381
    3. France — 0.347
    4. Macedonia — 0.337
    5. Albania — 0.206
    6. Slovakia — 0.185
    7. Switzerland — 0.142
    8. Finland — 0.132
    9. Belgium — 0.128
    10. Czech Republic — 0.123
    11. United States — 0.089
    12. Austria — 0.068
    13. Netherlands — 0.051
    14. Canada — 0.032

    Where on earth did you find that definition of citizens? Again, an illogical argument.

    And yet, as I pointed out out, there was virtually none.
    Thus: You're wrong. It's -not- the guns.

    Oh stop it.
    It is about stopping murdererd actively and deliberately killing innocent people.
    I take it you dont care how many people are killed in the USA.
    I cant talk to someone with such an attitude.
    They are à big part of the problem because they don't admit there is a problem.
    Did you know amorality is à prime indicator of mental disorder?

    Good to see you aren't at all serious about addressing the issue.

    If it is only 13% who commit murders, it should be easy enough for a well ordered police force to deal with it.

    Since there are so many if those forming the same mass psychoses like :they are coming to get me", the situation is even worse.
    The worst criminals in history were fully concerned with what they thought the world owed them, and never gave à damn about who got killed in the process.

    Everywhere starts with exactly the same 'freedoms'. There are no freedoms unique to the USA.
    What exists are different levels and types of restrictions in different places.

    You're wrong, aren't you? It turns out the police, who you fantasize about protecting you, cannot and have not solved the issue. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/table-43

    There it is again, and the police are outnumbered, overwhelmed, and for some reason black criminals fight the police and try and run from arrest more than ANYONE. Then play the victim while people with no sense of logic or reason pander to them, that's why we're in this mess.

    Pure freedom is not possible. It is a primitive barbarie way to live.
    Orher places understand that social animals need rules.
    This is so fundamental that I cannot believe you even tried to justify mass murder by denigrating other peoples solutions to living together peacefully.

    Let's see, the gov works for us not the other way around. See? Easy peasy. If you're a citizen you have rights and a constitution and the gov cannot steamroll you, like arresting you for facebook posts. We have rights, whereas others are merely subjects, who live at the whims of a government who cares nothing about them.

    LOL, if you think having freedom is barbaric your cage door is open, you just don't WANT out. Your solutions are to watch the rest of us live like bunnies in cages where you bend a knee to the gov, a gov that take or give you everything. That's your form of slavery and it's pretty funny.

    Sorry, we'll just remain free citizens and not subjects who are hard-fed lies and told they cannot defend themselves. Stay away from the US, your more likely to die from food poisoning than a mass shooting but keep up the drama it's amusing.

    You on the Left never understand that what is effective in the long-term is "Crime and Punishment"! For decades we in the U. S. have allowed increasingly liberal court systems, criminal-advocacy groups like the ACLU, and 'touchy-feely' prison administrators to turn "Punishment" into little more than relatively short 'staycations' in gang 'hotels' with comforts, conveniences, entertainments -- and all in a "recreation-center" environment.

    Example: "John Doe" robs a liquor store with a gun, gets caught, is convicted, and is sentenced to 10 years in prison. In reality, he knows that he'll never serve more than 3 - 5 years before he gets an 'early-out' and/or parole. He has no responsibility, doesn't have to work, gets three meals a day, and all services for free. He's got internet, TV, movies, computers, a library, and membership with similar creeps in his preferred prison gang-family. To a bottom-feeder criminal like that, what's there to fear...? What is the deterrent factor about American prisons?

    Another example: "Joe Doe" gets a gun and for no obvious reason kills a dozen people. They arrest him and send him to the state mental health facility for 'evaluation' -- and after maybe two years, the mental health professionals decide that Joe needs to spend a while there in their comfortable hotel-environment that's even better than than the one they have in today's prisons! Again, where is the deterrent factor in being sent to a state 'nut-house'...?!

    Link: https://thehill.com/regulation/cour...rado man charged in,to proceed with the trial.

    Crime and Punishment! If "Criminals and Crazies" are cultured for decades to believe that neither prisons nor 'nut-houses' are 'all that bad', then what we have is the perfect enabler for more and more crime! And what's the Democrat view? Why, that we need more 'social workers' and mental health theorists holding these perps' hands, while they tell the rest of us how many cartridges we should be allowed to have in our weapons of SELF-DEFENSE.... :roll:

    And exactly WHERE did I advocate that thr police remains as theycare??
    My entire précise is that this is much of what needs to change. Investment. Training. Priorités. Special units. Full exchange of information.
    The point is that the police are NOT good enough. They are the modern result of that well managed militia and have not been effective.
    Instead of every man for himself, à sophisticated modern society investsi in law and order.
    You have let it become the golden egg of corrupt private entreprise.
    When are you going to say Enough is Enough? How many children have to die? Just where is your réd line??
