It's time we as a country demand accountability from each other.
I'm stunned by the response of some to support the actions of Hamas and the brutal murder of thousands while those same people pretend to be justice warriors for peace.
You can't support the slaughter of humans and out of the other side of your face preach equity.
We had 18 of our fellow countrymen murdered by a guy who needed mental health intervention but rather than deal with the what we all know is a huge issue, mental health, we blame an object (a gun) for the killing, not the human who pulled the trigger.
Our president and his staff talk more gun restrictions when tougher restrictions are already in place, what we need to mental health services in this country. It also didn't help when you locked down a society for as long as you did but oh, no, it's not any of that causing the problems it's guns. Bullshit.
We The People need to speak up. We need to demand more from our media and stop accepting their puppetry as news. We need to stop joining in on the choir of lies from our leaders and push, really push for the mental health services needed to turn this around.
You don't have to publicly scream about it but use your vote to get rid of the parrots. When some one utters words that sound untrue or that you disagree with, say something. We can't keep going like this it's destroying the very fabric of our society.
Saying “guns don’t kill people, People kill people,” is the same as saying fentanyl doesn’t kill people unless a person abuses it. Fact is fentanyl should be eradicated from our society just aas should guns should.
Can Rick, OR ANYONE, name 1 single incident when a civilian with a gun stopped a mass shooting? How do you explain the U.S. absolutely dwarfing (565 mass shootings so far in 2023) every single other country in the area of gun violence? Are Americans that much more mentally ill? Hmmm I really doubt it. Seriously, this is not a rhetorical quedtion. I want someone to answer without using the word, “God”.
I agree there is a heart and mind issue. What are your thoughts on changing-improving this?
Oh please. We don't advocate to ban all guns - just assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines. They ARE the cause. They are for the military. Designed to kill as many people in the shortest amount of time in a horrific manner. Full stop.
Look at the countries (like Australia) that banned them. Highly effective and proof positive.
I expect opposition dialogue, but please state WHY you need an assault rifle with high-capacity magazines?
Agreed, Rick. Until we admit that this sencless slaughter of innocents is a matter of the heart and collectively, the faith community and government, work on that issue together we will continue to have this issue. Saying it's guns is a copout or an attempt to disarm the people for agenda purposes. Locally, we have a multimillion dollar mental health facility that employs a lot of folks in a county of 7000. They are buried in paperwork bureaucracy and government social issues. We need to train and invest in more folks to help heal the mentally unhealthy and quit paper pushing. We need to stop the media hype and fear mongering, the Hollywood movie violence, and the video game violen…
