  1. Until the gangster criminal Republicans’ are thrown out of the House and Senate you will never see sane gun control with Universal Background Checks and Safe Storage Laws because the Republicans are prostitutes of the NRA and to them “Losses can never be too high” and human life is cheap and expendable.

    • Sane gun control? Tell me how is it places like New York, New Jersey, and Chicago were guns all pretty much illegal and the gun laws are made by the democrats yet the cities are the most violent in the entire country and lead in gun murders? Funny how the more republican states surrounding states to these with less gun laws have less crime and gun murder rates. Almost like criminals don’t care about following laws!

      • to CC

        Wrong on all counts. Studies proved that Blue States have lower crime rates that Red States with lax gun laws. The ignorant Far Right only scream about the big cities not about the entire state.

        And the reason cities have so many illegal guns is because Red States and their gun runners ship in second hand guns up the “iron pipeline” into high crime cities as verified by law enforcement studies.

        • Hey moron – link to those “studies” or they didn’t happen. When we see your sources, then we’ll tear them apart. Bloomberg studies are worse than useless, anything funded by George Soros is the same.

          I hope that every liberal city gets ten million new guns this year. That’s ten for New York, 10 million for Los Angeles, 10 million for Chicago, 10 million for Houston, 10 million for St. Louis, 10 million more for Portland, and another 10 million for Philadelphia.

          Just keep building them, and shipping them, until every head of household has a reliable weapon.

        • :Laughs in Rochester: yeah others exposed why this argument is in accurate on multiple occasions but ultimately your heroes suck at keeping the peace even when their laws are legal.

        • 1000% incorrect as usual lefty. Read all gun stats on crimeresearch.org After that, please read the 2nd amendment in the US Constitution one last time before you move to New Zealand.

      • I’m sure Trump is the one who sold Hunter Biden the gunm he responsibly disposed of in a trash dumpster.

        • Yes, but it was a very responsible trash dumpster that would never allow a kid from the nearby high school to collect the gun, only a drunk who needed cash for his next bottle of hootch. It is a real hoot that lil’d thinks the phrase “sane gun control” means anything at all!

    • “
you will never see sane gun control
”

      “Gun control” is all in the mind of the user. If laws and regulations made a damn bit of difference there would never be an intentional misuse of anything, firearms, other inanimate objects, or even words.

      As per background checks- anyone pushed beyond their own individual limits (either actually or imagined), can “go nuts” and do things far outside their normal behavior patterns. Returning to their “senses” after an insanity episode likely explains the reason for so many suicides following mass killing events.

      Expecting some sort of “Minority Report” solution to crime and violence is ludicrous. The best we can expect from background checks is to prevent a repeat performance. (Of course, incarceration would more effectively fix that.) As we’re finding now, however, it’s fairly easy to just take out a couple dozen people with an SUV on streets and sidewalks to make one’s point, and the victims are just as dead; their loved ones just as grievous. And, it’s much more likely that the driver has passed their state’s driving tests than a shooter would possess a gun permit or FOID.

    • Sane gun control is: 1) proper stance; 2) proper grip; 3) breath control; 4) hard focus on the front sight and 5) 2 rounds center mass and one to the ocular cavity. Stops the perp every time. Saves tax payer money and ensures negative recidivism.

    • One advocates for self defense, the other aims to remove it with the illusion of safety. But keep telling yourself that your side doesn’t prey on these events for their own benefit. The fact that you truly believe it’s about ‘safety’ is not even amusing anymore, it’s worrying. They want your vote and they’ll use tragedy to get it.

      “…and to them “Losses can never be too high” and human life is cheap and expendable.”

      To democrats and anti-gun “Losses can never be too high” and human life is cheap and expendable. Its almost like they are using a baking recipe.

      Democrats and anti-gun murder/injury facilitation and collusion and enabling recipe:

      Add 1/4 portion laws that disarm the law abiding.

      Add 1/4 portion gun free zones where law abiding disarmed and now defenseless prey can roam.

      Add 1/4 portion hype from anti-gun to make such laws and zone are protective.

      Add 1/4 portion idiots that believe such laws and zone are protective and hype them.

      Mix well.

      Set aside and wait until another criminal or violent mentally ill predator comes along to hunt in the gun free zones where defenseless prey is guaranteed by law. As soon as that happens stir in a big helping of hypocrisy and blame directed at the millions of law abiding people who did not do it and mix in a cry for more laws to facilitate continuing to have laws and gun free zones to maintain guaranteed defenseless prey by law for the criminal or violent mentally ill predator to hunt.

      Servings: every criminal or violent mentally ill predator who partakes, every anti-gun fool in the world.

      dacian, you are a murder facilitator, and enabler, you colluded for for this to happen by your postings and rants to distract from the truth that such laws and zones do not protect as promised, you conspired for this to happen by your supporting anti gun. dacian, you and your anti-gun buddies are responsible for these deaths and injury and have their blood on your hands.

      And now, you are your anti-gun buddies want to do it all over again and are dragging out the same old recipe to serve up yet another helping of death for the human life you consider so cheap and expendable you make that life defenseless by law to help your criminal or violent mentally ill predators have defenseless prey in a hunting ground designed just for them.

      You are responsible dacian, you killed these people just as sure as this violent mentally ill black man did. You killed these people by removing from them their right to self-defense, you killed these people by ensuring they were defenseless. You are a murderer by proxy dacian as is every anti-gun and liberal and left wing person who supports such laws and zones. You dacian and every anti-gun and liberal and left wing person who supports such laws and zones are the violent anti-life radical extreme left-wing, the greatest threat ever known to this country. You are murderers by proxy who’s only goal is to kill as many as possible.

    • What we really need is sane speech control. Every moron in the world can just come along and post nonsense anywhere on the internet. You should need a license to post on the internet. And your devices should be safely locked down when you’re not using them. And, your dacian should be safely locked down when you’re not exercising it.

      Dacian! Take this boat anchor, and swim to the other side of the river so I can pull myself across in my boat!

    • 11 US cities with Democrat Mayors made the top 50 of the most dangerous cities in the WORLD.

      Or, it could be said, 11 US cities with Democrat Mayors are the least civilized in the WORLD.

    • Hush lil’dtard, don’t say a word
      And nevermind that noise you heard
      It’s just the beast under your bed
      In your closet, in your head

      đŸ€Ș

    • Sill masturbating to the same old thoroughly Debunked Talking points. One would think you’d run out of K-Y at some point.

    • How would universal background checks prevented the shooting at Michigan? How would safe storage laws have prevented the shooting?

      • I’m sorry. Did you just ask Dacian to respond intelligently? If you have been on this blog for any length of time you should know that he, she or it, isn’t capable of intelligent discourse. No need to waste your time or the bandwidth.

    • Wheres the next college you plan on visiting, if it’s close enough I wouldn’t mind getting a free gunm, I know it’s a waste of time hanging out underneath those Gun Free Zone signs, two whole weeks and not even a Lorcin. Politicians lie, there are no Gun Free Zones, not to the best of my knowledge anyway.

  2. Prohibition and the war on drugs were such resounding successes. Gun control will be the same.

    • Because we all know how criminals will also follow the law.

      (Positively dripping with seething sarcasm.)

      • A prison is one of the most controlled environments one might find themselves in, but you can still get shanked and DRT. Happens every day.

        If a prison can not be made safe by laws, regulations, and extreme force why does the anti-gun crowd think more of this will work on the outside?

  3. a mass shooting at a university that has declared itself to be a gun free zone is a classic example of evolution in action.

  4. gun free zones, defined:

    “gun (gƭn) free (frē) zone (zƍn)

    * Trap in which people congregate and are falsely promised safety by a make believe force field of a ‘No Guns” prohibition.

    * A place where people are disarmed and not permitted self-defense with firearms.

    * Hunting grounds for predator criminals where defenseless prey is guaranteed by law.

    * Place where existing laws against violent crimes do not work to prevent violent crimes the laws are touted to be able to prevent.

    * Places designed to attract violently mentally ill predators.

    * Places where police forces cease to operate to protect before the fact of a violent crime as they are touted to be able to do by politicians implying.

    In the Journal of Threat Assessment and Management, 7(3-4), 135–156. (Lankford, A., & Cowan, R. G. (2020)) ( https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Ftam0000151 )

    
 Cowan writes of their research they “
closely analyzed public mass shooters who attacked in the United States from 1966 to 2019 and found that correlates of mental illness were approximately equally common among perpetrators, whether they had been coded as mentally ill or not.”

    Forensic psychiatrists James L. Knoll IV, MD, and George D. Annas, MD, MPH, of SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse New York, both leading authorities on the mental health aspects of mass shooters, summed it up for the issue for the mental health community various studies on various aspects in terms of mass shooters
. Although mass shooters may not meet DSM-5 criteria for a recognized disorder, “they do have an ill-defined trouble of the mind for which the mental health field has no immediate, quick-acting ‘treatment,’” – in other words, mass shooters do have mental illness driving them but not something clearly defined and for which the mental health community basically has no treatment.

  5. The grocery chain Marianos was allowing Illinois Concealed Carriers to carry in their store. Some group started picketing them and one of the signs comically said “signs save lives.”

    The only time a sign will save your life is if it’s warning you of something. A sign that tells someone to do something that they flagrantly disregard will do nothing except occupy a wall.

    • I dont know, if you bust a crook over the head with the right sign it might save a life. or Maybe tape razor blades to your cardboard signs. Or setting a sign on fire and shoving it up the perpetrators ass might do some good too.
      Sign sign
      Everywhere a sign
      Cutting up the juglers
      Breaking some minds
      Do this dont do that
      Cant you extinguish this sign.

      • Step 1: Acquire a manila folder

        Step 2: Place said folder between upper ear and head of the opposition, or Dacian’s butt cheeks. Whichever is preferred.

        Step 3: Draw swiftly towards you, applying pressure on to the object with the folder edge.

        Step 4: Repeat until goal is achieved.

        Deaf by paper cut. You will be.

  6. Amazing how people are finally so fed up they are asking to carry on campus and these idiots cover it up. Clearly, the gun free zones and laws don’t protect you, so maybe it’s time to consider the best means of self defense?

  7. I find it hilarious that the recent MSU incident caused the Student Body President of CU Boulder to demand gun control on campus because of recent law changes.

    What she doesn’t understand is that the laws, as changed, don’t actually change much. They allow a business or a university to ban guns provided they follow the rest of the rules that the law didn’t change.

    So, you can have gun free buildings but in order to do that you have to limit access to a single point and have security posted using a magnetometer. Which basically means that for most buildings you have to lock a bunch of the entrances and use them only as exits and then post security.

    For every individual building. LOL, oh great, you can get out of one class, walk cross the street for your next class and wait 45 minutes in line to get into the building for the class while the university spends millions on this fiasco for a campus that’s never had a shooting incident.

    We’re lucky that most gun control proponents would struggle to get a room temperature score on an IQ test. But, I must admit, I do love watching Shannon Watts flip shit on Twitter these days.

    • Anecdote 1: staff guy on major public uni campus used to ride to work with a pistol in the glove box, park on campus, then head home at day’s end – then the moron commies went “gunfree”, meaning no guns in vehicles. So if you like your job, leave home unarmed, and return home in the same condition. Return unarmed to a burglary in progress, that is. Our hero miraculously managed to steal one of his own guns back from the burglars before they knew he was home, and it all ended ok.

      Anecdote 2: lady who worked on very same campus had car trouble on the way home one day, necessarily disarmed by the no guns on campus rule. The guy who stopped to “help” her gave her a very ugly death, and is currently on Death Row.

      Meanwhile, moron commie profs donate salary to “civil rights” organizations that try to keep that murderer from execution.

      That gun free zone can be a lot bigger and meaner than just where the signage is, when it reaches into your transportation device…

  8. While I was in college I made my EDC a handgun and a long gun. At the community college level and at the University level. And nobody knew I was carrying. Because it never needed to know.

  9. Gun Free Zones have proven to be a Total Failure. Yet Democrats and Liberals believe creating more of them or having that “No Firearms Allowed” sign imparts some “Magical Protection.”
    The Gun Free Schools Act was going to stop mass shootings. Did it? Nope.
    “Pursuing the Policies of Failure” should be the DNC Motto.
