The U.S., overall, is a much less violent place than it used to be. Our reported violent-crime rate is almost half what it was in 1991. But mass shootings haven’t decreased. In fact, they’ve become even deadlier.

In 2010, the World Health Organization found that the United States’ gun-homicide rates were more than 25 times higher than in any other high-income country. And that was before Las Vegas—and before Parkland, Florida. We’ve witnessed 19 of the 30 deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history during the past decade.

Well, as tough as it was I picked up a hard copy of the Reno News and Review(known locally as the RN&R). I pretty much knew what was going to be in it. So, past the usual anti-Trump, anti conservative writings and cartoons always found in the rag is the list of 25 good, bad and ugly suggestions. Most are not worth spit IMHO but others will disagree. On the "hole" the cornucopia of the same old crap. With some progressive add ons. Read it if you feel like it. I have to go wash my hands now. See, we in Reno are being oppressed. LOL!

The only semi-sensible suggestion is a safety training course. Something like the “Eddie Eagle” or similar for grade schoolers, then a more advanced one in middle school, and one more in 11th grade to ensure the kids “get it”.

Shot trial followed by a quick bullet to the forehead for anyone murdering with a firearm. No more life in prison.

The day to day gun violence is a function of a dysfunctional society that is the result of liberal progressive policies that have destroyed the family unit in much of the black society and also parts of the non black society. Mass shootings with rare exceptions are from the left and not the right. I find it most odd that we know nothing about the political ideology of the mass shooter in Las Vegas. We know nothing about this man. This is beyond odd.

Where in the hell are the ivestigative reporters that should be looking into every detail of his life of the past twenty years?

Of course just using their term of “gun violence” is a turn off to the POS anyway. Club, knife, bat, rocks, tire iron. All those types of violence are okee dokee with them I suppose. Like the kind perpetrated by aunt teefuh types.

“In 2010, the World Health Organization found that the United States’ gun-homicide rates were more than 25 times higher than in any other high-income country.”

And what are the demographics of those high-income countries?

So it takes a collection of 5 “journalists” to come up with 5 “ideas” each to make up the 25 ideas to save the World from inanamite tools made out of metal.

And they are just rehashing the same crap we have heard before, trying to get more people to panic over and believe the Parroted “Poly want gun control, Rrraaaack! Poly want gun control, now where is Polly’s CRACKer ?”
