  1. Actually it was the Crusades. Particularly the siege of Acre and Richard III to be more specific.
  2. Oklahoma, Waco and Ruby Ridge were all in the nineties for crying out loud. What the hell did they have to do with Obama?
  3. The two I have listed plus the 93 World Trade Centre bombing. He is an idiot.
  4. What do you mean the aren't doing anything differently. The US is the only country with far more guns in private hands than it has people. It has far more people in jail than any other country and is one of the few with capital punishment. So what that Canada doesn't make handguns. Glock, Sig Sauer and Baretta aren't US companies either yet all of those guns that enter Canada illegally come from the US.
  5. Bullshit. 9/11 was on Bush Jr's watch. The 1983 Beirut barracks bombing was on Reagan's watch.
  6. No it isn't my problem. I'm not an American and don't pretend to know how to fix their problems, that is up to them. What is obvious is that they are doing nothing different and always getting the same result. The body count seems to be acceptable, so be it. My only concern is the number of restricted and prohibited firearms that come across the border illegally from that gun addicted mob down south. Almost all the guns used by Canadian gang bangers. Three out of four of Wortman's guns came from the US, an AR15 and two semi auto handguns. I'm not anti gun either. I thought our gun regulations were pretty reasonable before Justin used Portapique as an excuse to embark on his crusade. The new restrictions would have done nothing to stop Wortman and will accomplish little or nothing because we can't stop these things from coming north.
  7. The US is one of the few developed countries in the world with capital punishment. No other country in the Americas has it and only Belarus has it in Europe. Only Egypt, China and Saudi Arabia executed more people than the US in 2019 so obviously that doesn't work either.
  8. Do you actually think they do anything other than display your own ignorance? Do you actually think they give you some sort of advantage, that the people you are trying to insult actually take them seriously? Just trying to be helpful.
  9. Amazing how you love labels. Labels are the tool of the intellectually lazy.
  10. Try looking at some other countries approach. None of them involve more guns and putting more people in jail. Maybe start looking at causes and dealing with them instead of just not dealing with the results by relying on jails. The US is a large diverse country and causes will differ regionally. I don't pretend to know what those are but clearly, what they have been doing doesn't work. Unfortunately, the 2nd Amendment and the mentality that drive it is America's single greatest threat to public safety and a good reason no other country has such a thing in its constitution. The Buffalo 10 and all the others are just considered collateral damage. Pay the victims lip service, then carry on like they never existed.
  11. Haven't watched CNN in a long time. I don't watch US cable news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgCPd4qoKXw
  12. Well it isn't more guns and putting more in jail. That just fits Einstein's definition of insanity.
  13. Like the White Replacement idiots and people like Tucker aren't dividing the country along racial lines. That would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
  14. The US has more people in jail than any other country, over 2 million. 400,000 more than #2 China. It has the highest incarceration rate in the world 629 per 100,000 Rwanda is #2. Canada's rate is 104. Every other developed western country has a rate that is below 150, several in double digits. Instead of claiming they need to put even more people in jail, MAYBE they should try some things that will actually WORK. But that won't happen and we both know it.
  15. Considering banning abortions will actually increase the birth rate among minorities who will be most affected by these new laws, the white replacement loons are actually working against themselves.
  16. All speculation and accusation, no proof and your sources are hardly unbiased.
  17. That was 2007. What was the result of this investigation?
  18. Driver's licenses are state, immigration is federal. States have to work with what they are dealt.
  19. A: Again, you have to commit a crime before you can go to jail. Many shooters have no records, many are kids. B: Bullshit. No one likes mass killings but plenty are willing to put with them by doing nothing. From them, "Thoughts and Prayers" to the victims of these crimes is nothing less than a cynical insult. C. So how did they get their guns?
  20. An avowed white supremacist and anti semite guns down 10 black people with the intent to kill more but, "nothing to see here".
  21. Struck a cord it would seem. A. Conservatives are against limitations on who can own what guns. B. Many pro lifers seem very selective when it comes to which lives have value. C. Many of these mass killers have no criminal records.
  22. Wray was a Trump appointee.
  23. Even though the US was over two years late to the party and had to be attacked first, (even Hitler declared war on the US first) it can be justifiably proud of its contributions when it finally did arrive. What I don't understand is the arrogance and contempt for the contributions of others. Is it a national trait or just plain ignorance?
