2021 US firearms fatalities 45,222. US population 333 million. That's 13.58 firearms deaths per 100K population. Pick a year. What good does controlling guns in one city do when they can be legally brought in from anywhere else. You live in Chicago and want a gun, just go outside the city limits.

In Saanich there was no robbery, it was a trap for police. The so called bank robbers did nothing for 20 minutes while they waited for police. If the Victoria ERT team wasn't close by and the response was from lightly armed patrol officers, it would have been a lot worse than 6 officers wounded.

Firearms death rate per 100K population Norway 1.48 US 12.21 Firearms homicide rate per 100K population Norway .06 US 4.46 Firearms suicide rate per 100k population Norway 1.4 US 7.3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

Say what? So let't get rid of all our ERT, we obviously don't need them. Oh wait, Saanich.

Since it took 96 minutes to get him, I totally disagree.

I thought the subject was mass shootings.

In 1966 there were no SWAT teams in the US.

No you aren't. 77 of Norway's victims where in a single attack in 2011.

If you give someone 90 minutes they don't need a semi auto with a large magazine. In the 26 years since Australia banned auto and semi auto weapons, instituted a registry, a 28 day waiting period and a buy back program after the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 , it has had one shooting involving 5 or more people, a murder suicide involving a single family. In the 18 years before 1996 there were 13 mass shootings involving 5 or more

Only because the body count was so high in one of them and they have less than 5 million people.

That was 57 years ago and he was in the tower for more than 90 minutes.

It’s a big factor.

They wouldn't be. Try this using your grandpa's bolt action with a 5 round magazine. https://nypost.com/2022/07/04/video-reveals-rapid-fire-gunshots-in-highland-park-parade-shooting/

Other countries manage. The Christchurch NZ mosque shooter was an Australian. The guns he used are prohibited in Australia.

How would you know? But keep running up the body count, it doesn't seem to concern you.

Right, we'll just give wackos guns because they might be able to get them illegally. Of course they will if you have saturated your country with the things and have no record of who owns what. But hey, let's make it even easier for them.

Supposedly there was an instant background check on the last three mass shooters in the US. Obviously they are next to useless.

If society forces women to give birth, there also has to be legislation that compels society to look after those kids. Yes it is.

Option for who? Does the kid get a choice? What does society do for kids born into poverty because their mothers were forced to give birth? Why is the wait to adopt foster kids any longer? People want newborns, not kids that may have issues. What chance does a kid with fetal alcohol syndrome or other issues due to a mother's drug use have? What adoption options don't have red tape. Again, adoption is something done by individuals, not a society.

There are over 400,000 American kids in foster care. Why is no one adopting them and how did they become foster kids? If you don't know, you don't care.

Adoption is done by individuals, not society. By forcing women to have children you are forcing them to be mothers. That's the thing about you so called pro lifers. Once they are born, you lose interest in them, your work is done and you no longer give a shit..

If society forces women to have babies, society should be prepared to look after them. It's the least they can do.

Yes they want to take away the right to choose and impose their ideology on others. They pretty much are because they are the only ones who can have an abortion. Men are entitled to an opinion. That's all.

WTF

Since when is letting someone choose for themselves, imposing my beliefs on anyone? Until men can get abortions, they should definitely stay out of it.
