The lede: "Three people were shot and killed at the Klymax Lounge in Kansas City, Missouri, early Sunday, police said.

Officers arriving at the scene just before 1:30 a.m. local time found five people who'd been hit by gunfire, officials with Kansas City Police said in a statement."

The comment: Guns make the news.

Again.

Once again our social programs, our laws and our level of law enforcement was unable to avert these shootings. Three more people are dead.

Deaths from gunshot, based upon data for 2020, occur roughly every 12 minutes in the United States of America.* Roughly 110-120 people will also die from gunshot today in the United States of America.

The level of deaths by gunshot in the United States ranks high against other modern democracies.

Guns in the news.

Again.

Stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

Hi, CKW.

Thank you for taking time to post a response.

Unfortunately, what you have said does not alter the on-going level of gunshot deaths in the United States of America.

Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

 

I gave you a like for at least that part because too often people pretend that America's gun violence is the worst in the world. It isn't. We are toward the middle of the pack globally.

 

Thoughts and prayers.
Hopefully enough will start participating in these methods to curb all these shootings.

 

So let's cut to the chase. Is your point that you'd like to see guns removed from everyone in the U.S?

 

Hi, Trixare4kids.

My point, and I've stated it in detail again and again, is that we experience many deaths by gunshot in this country every day. My point is that these are not prevented by our existing laws coupled with their levels of enforcement, nor by our existing social programs. My point is that if these numbers are to be significantly reduced, action is necessary. My point is that there are many, many people who are smarter and more capable of developing effective solutions than I am, so I will not propose any. My point is that if enough people are made aware of these deaths by gunshot and pressure their elected representatives, something may at last be done. My point is that I will try to make people aware of these continuing deaths by gunshot. My point is that one of the ways I can do this is by posting on social platforums* such as this one.

Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

Hi, Chrizton.

Thank you for taking time to reply to my post.

The position of the United States of America in comparison to other nations, while of interest, is tangential to the question of whether the existing level is acceptable.

Seeing how our level of law enforcement is at its lowest in decades, it's not surprising that law enforcement can't prevent crimes from taking place.

So, over 40,000 people will get murdered with a gun this year?

 

Funny how no one at the club can describe the shooter. That can only mean one thing: the shooter is black and so are the witnesses.

This is most likely gang violence and the only thing that will make that go away is active policing.

But, we can't do that, because it wouldn't be fair to blacks.

 

how is this national news

 

before the internet and the 24/7 news cycle, stuff like this would never be known outside a couple hundred miles from where it happened.

 

They are black. The shooter and the victims. Of course, the media won't tell us this because they have an agenda. If the shooter were white and the victims were black, it would be MSDNC's top story for the next week. In this case, having the security guard armed might have saved lives.

Once again ....

 

Once again what?

 

Black people killing each other.

 

We keep telling the gun banners/and extreme gun control zealots, but they don't want to hear it.

 

how is this national news?

 

gun banners seem to love amplifying and broadcasting these incidents though: it's almost as if they hope for more to happen

 

Because the goal is to ban guns, not protect the people. The only thing they want to protect is their Communist agenda.

 

I thought it was just me who thought this. It does seem like that.

 

They don't listen so what else could it be? Black on black gun homicide is the major problem they refuse to address. They want our guns, but here's what they keep forgetting. The criminals aren't giving up theirs.

 

The point is to keep the body counts high until everything is banned.

It's all about control.

 

look at which posters fill the news thread with shooting incidents. It's not the pro rights side of the issue

 

he knows more than 60% of those deaths are self inflicted. The gun banners use that to scare people into thinking that gun murder is a far more serious problem than it really is. Only about 2500 murders each year involve victims who don't have felonly records nor are engaged in felonious activities
