Is that an attempted distraction from the news of "Former Trump campaign adviser Rick Gates is finalizing a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller's office, indicating he's poised to cooperate in the investigation, according to sources familiar with the case" (CNN)

That would be the 3rd one to make a deal.

But we don't know that. In fact, we know the opposite.
What don't we know? I am specifically suspect of anti-depressants. I have read claims about opportunity multiple target shooters, having their thought process altered my these medications. What I request, [publishing the drug contents of these shooters, as soon after the homicides as possible] is simpler than going door to door across the country searching every nook and cranny for somebody's hidden belly gun. You know, you absolutely do, that bad people are going to have guns. I think many of the homicides in the city's are already now done with stolen weapons. Taking guns away from honest people is just going to make it easier for thugs. https://www.emedicinehealth.com/ssris_and_depression/article_em.htm

When compared to every other first world country, the one thing that correlates directly to the obscene number of shootings, is the obscene number of guns in this country, and the ease of getting them.
Are guns hard to get in Switzerland? Don't Canadians have guns? I call bull on that being the only common denominator. What is the proper amount of guns? What if you go out and take away 50% of American guns, would that be enough? Take away every gun in America, and instantly there will be a giant inrush of all the guns we have sold around the world coming back, to those that want them. AK's, rpg's the works. Germany confiscated guns.

Not sure what your arguing here, killing or the amount of guns? It has been discussed before, back out black shooters in America and we look much much better.

Sucide by car is quite a common method. Running down someone on purpose is hardly unknown. That is without even going into the terrorist attacks with trucks and pedestrians.

Anybody hearing the words 'coup attempt'
being batted around seriously? This is
astounding stuff, it looking more and
more like members of Obama's admin
attempted a coup d'etat to oust the
newly elected president from office to
cover the crimes they themselves committed.

This story grows by the minute almost, too
much to keep up with. Some are even saying
Mueller stopped working on Russia months
ago and has been full time on the coup instead.


FYI, Mad Magazine is not an actual news source.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

As well you should feel sorry for him,
they didn't prepare him in seminary
for the onslaught of truth to be found
in the outside world..


I think kenarman was more referring to the onslaught of untruths to be found in your posts.

You are correct though seminary didn't prepare me for the prejuideced attacks and especially how to deal with someone who doesn't care that they are wrong and has no interest in learning or being corrected.

I never speak in untruths. Religious schools
seldom teach truth, they teach their version
of how things should be or should have
happened. It why cults like Xtianity or
Mormonism, or any cult for that matter,
doesn't encourage their followers to
have fellowship with outsiders. They
might become contaminated with the
actual truth (and often do) and end up
rejecting the brainwashing they've been
subjected to.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Canada has strict gun laws against pistols.

In the late seventies Philadelphia cops stopped responding to misdemeanors or fender benders, the town was inundated with gangs and guns. Even hippies started packing heat.

One founding member of Anonymous used to live in Oakland, CA squats, rooftops, warehouses, etc. but never carried a gun even near gang areas. A frequent Rail Rider, he never carried a gun. At a jungle outside a rail yard he met three lesbians two of which were young, beautiful featherweights but the third could bench press more than most men can so he fell in with them for some cross country train rides and a trip thru several Caribbean countries in a less than fully seaworthy sailboat. Carry a gun into some of those tropical countries and you do twenty years but walk around with a female who looks like she does one arm curls with a piano and you have no problems at all.

Anti depressants often do have side effects for a subset of the population. Such side effects can be sexual or can result in assaultive behavior.

Pathogens often play a role in violence but medicine seems to ignore such things. Its well known that pathogens radically affect host behavior in lower organisms but when a pathogen enters a human host it is assumed to lose such abilities.

This should be good. Please cite where gun manufacturers have stated that we should sell guns to people under 18 years old, much less "children" which to me means under 13. I'll wait for you!
