A University of South Carolina student was shot and killed as he apparently tried to enter the wrong home on his off-campus street early on Saturday, police said.
Nicholas Anthony Donofrio, 20, of Connecticut, was dead by the time police responded to reports of a home burglary and shooting, according to a Columbia Police Department news release. Officers found his body on a front porch around 2 a.m., and Donofrio had a gunshot wound to his upper body, the release said.
It is a false argument. Firearms rarely kill children.
The left wants to defund the police, as such, that means I need to defend myself from crime.
You can’t have it both ways. You either need to have more police or allow the citizens to defend themselves. It’s why I moved out of the blue city to a red city. I would rather have a strong police force to defend my from crime rather than have to carry a firearm to defend myself.
People rarely fuck your wife when you’re at work. What number is acceptable for you then?
Since she’s not my wife, I’m comfortable insisting that a few hundred is nothing to get upset about. It’s only a tiny fraction of the overall population.
So, not reaction to Uvalde, Columbine, Sandy Hook? Nothing? Seems on par.
You seem completely blind to anything outside the US.
Create happy populations and you don’t need any of it. Europeans don’t have guns and they don’t have the violent police forces you see in the US. Yet, they are the happiest populations on earth year after year. Highly productive, highly educated.
Great equality. Create opportunity. Get rid of the desperation.
As the DOJ pointed out, a ban didn’t solve anything. It didn’t help the problem.
Parading dead children isn’t going to impress me when the facts say it wouldn’t have changed anything.
You want to ban something that is proven not to help and claim victory.
How do you want to prove it when we haven’t tried it? It works in the rest of the developed world.
Why didn’t you use your cool guns to save those children? You promised us that America would be safer if we sold you guns.
You didn’t even offer to help clean them up after you failed them. You know someone has to right?
The Ulvade shooter was a legal gun owner. Do you think the people who had to pick up children’s bones and brains were too?
Not my job. That’s why we pay police.
My guns are for my defense and the defense of my family.
Oh well taking a page out of your book, I don’t care about you and your family either, so I’ll just take your guns away for the safety of mine.
You don’t have the ability and scotus has clearly said I have a right to own firearms. So nice try troll.
But if you want to vote to make new laws, knock yourself out. I fully support your right to vote to change things but just realize it would require a new amendment which won’t pass in our lifetime.
I live in a very blue state and everyone I know carries a firearm. When the most liberal people I know own guns. It’s part of the culture of the state and it would be hard pressed to get anyone to change it.
So what are your plans if you’re wrong?
Are you going to surrender your guns because you didn’t actually need them like you claimed?
Will you submit to more thorough training, background and health checks as part of obtaining a firearm license, like you could have done 5000 mass shootings ago?
Will you become an illegal gun owner, like all the criminals you imagined gunning down in your hero fantasies?
Or will you go full terrorist, firing on the law enforcrment and going out in a hail of bullets, sacrificing yourself for your country like all the gun owners promised they would, even though they wouldn’t even wear a mask protect their countrymen?
I am exempt from most training requirements as I’m prior law enforcement and military but sure, if I had to do training I would.
I already did the extended training in Oregon even though it wasn’t a requirement.
Of course I wouldn’t go full terrorist. I’m not a liberal.
Firearms rarely kill children?
Hundreds of children have died after being shot at school since Sandy Hook alone. Hundreds. That was only 13 years ago.
In that same period, do you know how many children died after being shot at school in Europe? It’s a number between 0 and 0.
Zero ?
There was one last year in Germany.
Oh burn. He didn’t even realise that Germany saw a 600th of the gun violence of America before talking shit like it was a largely solved probably with a solution that isn’t even difficult.
You mean the one where nobody died, still leaving the european number at 0?
Oh hey that’s what firearms rarely killing children looks like!
No comment on the rest of my point?
