    Ranked choice will allow voters a more direct choice in their representation. I can see why that would upset you.

    Try reading my posts. My position has always been that professional armed police cannot keep the peace. Only an armed public, the first responders, can keep the peace.
    When professionals peacekeepers disarm the public there will be no peace. Your chosen example, Dodge City, proved it. Baltimore 2022 is Dodge City. Lesson: Do not disarm the people.

    Just pointing out that you are unconcerned about data manipulation as long as you like the data. Should indicate an agenda.

    Are you incapable of sticking to the subject where you wrote "Mass killing doubled since the gun ban. There's no way to deny that."

    Look up the definition of the word "massacre"

    Okay...

    mas·sa·cre
    /ˈmasəkər/


    noun
    1. an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people.
    Nothing mentioned about a gun, or the number of people.

    Perhaps you could provide the link to that definition? You don't want to be accused of cutting the definition, do you?

    I am open to debate anytime. And ps I happen to love guns - I just don't want to see society awash with them.

    A massacre (noun) is the brutal killing of people. No mention of number, or weapons.

    Had you watched this now famous (even back in 2014) sketch you would see yourself as Aussies, do. And for
    that matter Japanese, English and New Zealanders. And Jefferies was at pains to state he was speaking about
    the 'facts' of gun violence. He asked how many people concerned about their home 'security' actually went to
    home security conventions, or read Padlock Monthly. And once you boil it all down there's only ONE REASON
    some want guns - because they like guns.

    This book, written by the man who created the .357 magnum, gives a pretty good account about how how armed citizens in the final days of the Old West, responded to crime.

    Don't worry. I've already seen your dishonest removal of the word "many" that was in the link you provided.

    I have seen no evidence that shootings or major instances of mass violence have been significantly underreported.

    You are the one that is suddenly saying the data is unreliable and didn’t do so when you agreed with said data.

    Because he is not the ongoing threat to the safety of Americans. Guns in the household toybox are.

    Only because, sadly, it's replaced by another school shooting but the subject is mass shootings and why we have them. You changed the subject with bombings. Why is that? Oh yeah, you have no argument worthwhile to give.

    Make what you can of this. https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Australia/United-States/Crime Note especially the rape stats Australia v USA.

    Do you have the NRA prayer book in front of you as you type?

    Your Republican friends don't agree with that.

    42,000 SIGN PETITION TO ALLOW REPUBLICANS TO BRING GUNS TO G.O.P. CONVENTION

    And law enforcement officials believe that having armed civilians near Trump would decrease the level of security.

    So there is less security when civilians are armed.

    We agree, thank you.

    Nobody was armed at the Uvalde school house, except for the shooter. Tell us how safe and secure it was. Don't be scare. Tell us what a smashing success that was.
