Gun Control. A steady hand and a calm dead aim.

Wyoming does NOT HAVE a gun homicide problem, with a rate of only 1.4 per 100,000–actually lower than right across the border in more gun-controlled Canada– and only about a third of that of the nation as a whole.

I suppose that it would also be racist to note that Wyoming has two significant minority populations-- Native Americans and Basque. Muslims? Not so many.

2: The highest gun-ownership state with the loosest gun laws in the nation is Wyoming, where 59.7% of households have a gun (really!)

ONLY 59.7% of Wyoming households? With lions and bears and wolves around? With the Sheriff 45 minutes away? I am skeptical.

(I am skeptical of surveys regarding household gun ownership, because I doubt that most people will answer that question from anonymous caller. Just as I doubt that most people will give their credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, passwords, etc. an anonymous caller.)

The violent crime rate in the U.S. is often compared to that in countries such as Norway.

The violent crime rate in the U.S. among Norwegian-Americans is comparable to that of Norway.

Just sayin’.

It's 2022. Truth is racist.

Appalachia has a poverty problem, but it doesn't have a violent crime problem.

59.7 reflects those who will say they have a firearm in the house...

Thanks for posting these facts. Folks are ignorant of facts like these. Learned yesterday that illegals kill an average of 12 people a day, nearly 10,000 people a year. Mass shootings are terrible, and high profile, and themedia make it seem like it’s happening very frequently, and they get everyone hyped up about them because of the heanoius nature of the acts on groups of kids all at once, but mass shooters don’t kill nearly as many people as illegals do, and nowhere near as frequently. We go for years sometimes without shootings, but illegals kill every single day in this country apparently, and the media ignores it. Illegals,have wiped out entire families, killed far more kids than sicko mass shooters, and Noone gets hyped up about that fact.

The facts posted above should be studied by every republican congresperson so,that thst show some actual interest in the issue in order to educate the public and to,put things in perspective. They also need to point out that we don’t have a gun problem in this country, we have a common sense problem and security problem because of the lack of co mon sense. We create gun free zones, a d mass shooters have proven over and over thst they go to schools because they know they won’t face any immediate backlash or resistance, yet the left still refuse to correct the problem by getting adequate firepower by trained officers and teachers

If we secured our schools, there wouldn’t be nearly as many maggots trying to shoot them up because they would be smart enough to realize they may be killed very quickly if,they tried. The few that would still try, the more mentally stable ones, would further be hi Derek by the security measures created to stop them before they even get on the grounds. Th3 last maggot shooter got into,the school through an UNLOCKED back door- these types of things need to be addressed and corrected Immediately, in all schools.

There are plenty of things that can be done to secure schools, but democrats are not serious about fixing the problems problem, they just want an excuse to ban guns. Like the lt general of NC said “everytime there is an I cident like this you [(the media and liberals) attack the wrong people. You come after law abiding citizens and their rights instead of fixing the real problem. You want us disarmed so,that the criminals will have an easier time” essentially was the jist of his message

If you have a source for that, it would make a good thread here.

it’s easier for those sickos to get their hands on an assault rifle because there are just so many of them available.

BS. An assault rifle/weapon is a legal term and is legally defined as a machine gun. It is a select fire weapon and these are tightly controlled.

Yeah polls are far from accurate many times.

The surveyed Muslims in America once and asked how many supported jihad- v 60% said they did. You gotta wonder though if the number is higher for several,reasons. 1 many don’t want to be on record saying they did just incase they get found out 2 their religion encourages lying to “infidels”, 3 it’s very likely that the most ardent muslims support it and will answer the call when called, so,they don’t want to around suspicion and lie

They also asked about whether they thought sharia law should be the law in the us- agin over 50% said yes, with many likely supporting it but not wa ting to be on record as doing so. I suspect that many more woild welcome it here if they could.

Also,there is the problem of push polling many times. Fox was busted for it several times inmthe run up to the election- caught red handed-

Exactly, and the left know that too, but they repeat the lie over and over til, the public become brai washed o. The issue and think that millions of Americans own fully auto military grade weapons, and worse yet, the ones believing the lies are highly emotional younger generation. Brainwashed liberals who,have been so gaslighted by their fsrl left teachers that they can’t see truth even if it is standing face to face ,with them- thenhave been blinded by socialists
