About These Shootings. Would You Believe Once a Month?

Last edited Sat Apr 27, 2019, 10:14 PM - Edit history (1)

...How can they happen in so many places in the U.S.A. Pretty simple. Easy to get a gun or rifle. You get an idea to do something like this...A/B/or C... So in the United States, how difficult is it to get something to shoot somebody with? Well, it depends on the state laws. Doesn't it?..
...Of course, some state laws are far more difficult than others. And then there is the Constitution. Much of that document has stood the test of time. But the part about "guns" is totally outdated and dangerous. So, getting something to carry out such a plan is somewhat easy. Much too easy in many parts of our country. And the results of that show up often. Very often.. Proof. Hit this link and you will see that the U.S. averaged one mass shooting a month in 2018

Title of this article .."The US averaged at least 1 deadly mass shooting a month in 2018"

Then you should also be adamantly pro gun control.

Anything else is hypocritical.

totally opposed to any kind of "gun control." As if gun control was against the "bible."

Actually, the opposite is true. The bible says, "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is that correct?
