Adam Kinzinger claimed ownership of the "range", his pathetic excuse for a backyard shootem up gallery.

I'm just saying by the factual numbers that the USA would be safer if democrats didn't have guns in their possession.

Joe, just how far have you and the other MAGATS got your heads up your arses? It's difficult to discern whether you're belching or farting. The orange mutant himself has declared he will be dictator and will dispense with the constitution, as if it wasn't quite obvious anyway.

Trump is going to dispose of the constitution so there goes the 2nd amendment. So, wouldn't you gun nuts be better off voting in a party that's going to control guns rather than confiscating and banning them. With Trump as dictator there will be no constitution therefore no 2nd amendment and dictators don't tolerate civilians with guns.


Only an or a low information voter would believe that crap in red

I have to agree with mouse, anti's chart is missing quite a few countries: Ethiopia, Somalia, Lichtenstein, etc. etc. etc. But none uv them furriners duz as good as we'uns. We're top of the list by a country mile. Don't that make yew feel proud to be an American?

Coulda any of our liberal leftist 5hitZ care to comment on the optics of all of the thousands of dollars worth of "assault weapons" haphazardly strewn on the tables in front of these cretins while they pose for a photo op?

anti still lyin'! That skewed and heavily flawed graph has been disproven over and over. When you make those "homicides" in an apples to apples comparison the US ain't even in the top ten!


In regards to the "child deaths", anti gets a pants on fire rating! That "study" used "children" as old as 19! When you remove the thuggie gang bangers killing each other, the US is again out of the top ten.

You notice how low on the list Japan is? You might want to look into how many homicides they have with other tools. And look into their suicide rate also.

A gun is a tool period. If you are not qualified to use that tool, then don't. In the last week, we have had a Vice President candidate trying to load a shotgun and another shooting at steel plates 10 to 15 feet away. What was the purpose other than a photo op and prove democrats are tough. Misuse of the tool and that it is not a toy. The democrat solution is to ban AR and AK rifles. Is the military going to start building their own weapons? Civilian version of semi automatic weapons keep these manufacturers doors open. Now when Australia did their gun buyback, guess what crimes increased? Sex crimes and strong arm robberies proving Charles Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest is accurate. Now the problem with banning the AR rifle is handguns kill more people than rifles. So once you changed the constitution to restrict the rifles, the door is open then to,restrict any gun. Now I know some of free spirit loving Americans might be all for that but the Second Amendment probably has stopped invasion in the past. The current administration has emboldened our enemies. Iran, the one that calls us Big Satan, has been training people in Venezuela to attack. We don't need to worry because our border has been secured for the last 3 years. Now Russia so weaken by US sanctions just had their biggest summit with China, India, North Korea, and Saudia Arabia and their topic was the United States. Let's add North Korea sending soldiers to Russia and recently China and Russia had war games together for the first time. Now the democrats have put up a candidate that can't even answer a question she already knows she is going to be asked much less a question off the cuff. I bet they are skeered. Now I would like to know because I am sick of hearing it but how is Trump going to become a dictator? Going to put a chain around the White House gate and lock himself in the Oval Office. Now the democrats have set the new rules for elections and there will be no questioning the results, no protests, and no political speeches but I got a feeling we might see a real insurrection.

Anti I'm afraid your list of countries are the who's who of least diverse countries in the world. Can you publish the gun related deaths information of more diverse countries. Thanks for your understanding.

Meanwhile, coulda we get back to the intent of this wonderful thread which was to call out AND examine the foolish behavior of miscreants that want to ban the very same guns they were abusing.

Anti you know your safer countries aren't very diverse, your chart even seams racist

Conrad,
I never pretended to know a solution but I'm smart enough to know that eradicating AK's and AR's to stop mass murders will be as effective as putting drug users and dealers jail has been to stop the drug problem we have.

Anti are you for stop and frisk to curb gun violence in Democrat cities?

Compared to high income countries with populations over 10 million, the US by far has the highest number of firearm homicides... over 3 times higher than the nation that came in second.


Gun violence account for 8% of all child deaths in the US, too... also about 3 times higher than the nation that came in second. A record high of 4,752 children died in the US in 2021 from gun related injuries...


This should be a real concern for everyone.

Ask yourself, what's the magic number... how many child deaths are acceptable before you decide that maybe we should do something about guns? Or is this one of those where a million can die as long as YOU don't know them?
