« on: April 15, 2022, 11:40:42 AM »
Because, you know, guns are the only inanimate objects people use to try to kill other people.

Not funny - "they" really do think that way.

I remember when NYC Mayor David Dinkins called for additional gun control in reaction to the stabbing death of a tourist.  :facepalm:
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

That was my point. They DO think that way. And the problem is that when the discussion centers on "gun violence," the focus is on the guns rather than the violence. IMHO the focus needs to be on the violence, irrespective of whether it's committed with a gun, a knife, an axe, a baseball bat, or a car or truck. We need to address WHY people choose assault or murder as their preferred approach to "conflict resolution."

I know. But I believe anti-2A people read sites such as this, too, so if I can reach even one of them it's worth it.

I blame Trump and the NRA
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Don't forget Big Oil, since it was an internal combustion engine that committed the crime.

Think there's anything the person recording this could have done to help instead of just holding their phone?

It's far more important to be a citizen journalist and get good video to upload to TikTok and Vidmax. 
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

First thing I would have done is to not be in New Jersey.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?
