Uncritically? Straw Man Jul 2022 #19

Here's a novel idea. How about banning guns in public? Violet_Crumble Jul 2022 #22

Those bans would mean nothing to those who wish to commit mass murder. Straw Man Jul 2022 #29

I'm glad he got the guy. But he didn't exactly prevent murder altogether Walleye Jul 2022 #12

Law enforcement do not prevent murders for the most part. former9thward Jul 2022 #14

And the thoughts and prayers didn't seem to help much, as usual. Norbert Jul 2022 #13
