    I bet in a lot of countries,the numbers are even worse about kids living with both parents.Their kids aren't getting gunned down while in school.

    I'd be willing to bet that in other countries women are demanding the same jobs,the same hours,and the same pay as men.I don't hear about their kids getting killed in class.

    I'm pretty sure in other countries in 2 parent households,both parents work full time.Why aren't their kids getting killed in school?

    So as of now these are the straws you've grasped at,

    1.it's the media's fault 

    2. it's mental illness

    3.it's prescription drugs

    4.it's church attendance is way down

    5.it's kids only living with 1 parent

    6.it's because women are demanding the same jobs,hours and pay as men

    7.and it's because both parents work

    This guy is delusional,he's exactly like these republican politicians,just rattling off and blaming anything that comes to mind(besides the guns of course).

    and dont forget the drumbeat from the cult ,

    Mississippi as a state has been led by a republican for the last 18 years,doesn't he know the answer to his gun problems,are to have more people with guns?

    Among the counties in Mississippi, Coahoma County had the highest gun death rate, followed by Jefferson Davis County and Washington County. 

    Coahoma County — 72% Hillary, 27% Trump 

    Jefferson Davis — 87% Hillary, 12% Trump 

    Washington — 68% Hillary, 31% Trump

    Basically all you have to do to find gun violence is to look at a heat map of Presidential elections. 

    Dark blue = high gun violence 

    Dark red = low gun violence

    Basically all you have to do to find gun violence is to look at a heat map of Presidential elections. 

    Dark blue = high gun violence 

    Dark red = low gun violence

    Black kids are gunned down every day in Baltimore, Chicago, DC and St Louis. 

    No media attention. 

     

    Why? 

    I still haven’t seen a good answer to this. No memorials are held. No word from US politicians. No BLM marches. 

    Why? 

    Because nobody cares. 

    Progressives care about one thing. PUSHING THEIR POLITICAL AGENDA. They’ll use BLM to attack a sitting President and pretend they care about black lives. When BLM can’t be used for political purposes the cause fades away and dies. 

    They use kids.  

    They use black people. 

    The use victims of sexual assault. 

    But they only use them if it fits an agenda and that agenda is to further their political agenda. They don’t actually care.

    Mississippi as a state has been led by a republican for the last 18 years,doesn't he know the answer to his gun problems,are to have more people with guns?

    We need more guns!  Especially high capacity killing machines!  Arm all the teens too, but not kids 12 and under, since that might get dangerous.  

    And there's nothing in the constitution that says citizens can't have hand grenades or RPGs to protect themselves!  Especially from hardened criminals, like people protesting for women's rights in front of a house........or anyone who dares disagree with trump

    Uvalde native, actor Matthew McConaughey
    also weighed in with a lengthy Twitter statement:

    “Once again we have tragically proven that we are failing to be responsible for the rights our freedoms grant us,” McConaughey wrote. “The true call to action now is for every American to take a longer and deeper look in the mirror, and ask ourselves, ‘What is it that we truly value? How do we repair the problem? What small sacrifices can we individually take today, to preserve a healthier and safer nation, state, and neighborhood tomorrow?’ We cannot exhale once again, make excuses, and accept these tragic realities as the status quo.”

    so is your solution to what you have stated above more guns ? After all that seems to be the answer according to the right wingers.

    The indisputable fact is:
    where there are more guns, there are more gun deaths!

    There are indeed a horrific number of gun deaths in Chicago each year.
    But there are more gun deaths in Texas, by far, than in any other state,
    according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Texas suffered 4,164 gun deaths in 2020,
    the most recent year for which the CDC has published data.
    That's a rate of 14.2 deaths per 100,000 Texans.

    California, by comparison, saw 3,449 deaths, a gun death rate of 8.5

    But even Texas does not have the highest gun death rate.
    Far from it.
    The top states by worst gun death rates are:

    (all red states which voted for trump TWICE)

    Mississippi -- 28.6
    Louisiana  -- 26.3
    Wyoming  -- 25.9
    Missouri   -- 23.9
    Alabama  -- 23.6
    Alaska    -- 23.5

    I think we should get the guns away from criminals and leave law abiding citizens alone. 

    This would save the most lives by far and it’s not even close.

    Three people were shot after a high school graduation ceremony Tuesday on the campus of Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans. A fight between two females resulted in the shooting. One of the victims, an elderly female, died. Did she think this day of celebration would end in her death when she awoke this morning?

    People no longer settle differences with words.

    Damn.  What the hell was ANYONE doing with guns in their possession after a HS grad ceremony???   In our day that was a time for fun and celebration.

     

    Unfortunately, more GUN VIOLENCE.

    New Orleans is a really hood city. It's awesome too. I was there a few weeks ago. It's super good though. They've torn down a bunch of the projects since the last time I was there, and there has been gentrification just like every other major US city but it's still grimy though. We had a blast though. Our AirBnB was at the top on Frenchman. You'd crawl Frenchman, ton of bars and activity there, then right into the french quarter. There's other neighborhoods as well with bars and such. Had a blast but you have to be aware of where you are.

Damn.  What the hell was ANYONE doing with guns in their possession after a HS grad ceremony???   In our day that was a time for fun and celebration.   Unfortunately, more GUN VIOLENCE.   This sadness adds to the death stats for southern, red states including Louisiana, posted above in #496

    New Orleans is a really hood city. It's awesome too. I was there a few weeks ago. It's super good though. They've torn down a bunch of the projects since the last time I was there, and there has been gentrification just like every other major US city but it's still grimy though. We had a blast though. Our AirBnB was at the top on Frenchman. You'd crawl Frenchman, ton of bars and activity there, then right into the french quarter. There's other neighborhoods as well with bars and such. Had a blast but you have to be aware of where you are.
