This clown thinks life is a "Leave it to Beaver" episode.
I'm sure some countries don't really believe in any religion.They don't have kids getting gunned down in schools.
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 ,
" its all the fault of joe biden ! "

From CNN talking Mississippi gun violence; Jackson, a solidly Democratic city in a state that is solidly Republican, shattered its homicide record in 2020 with 130 – the previous high of 92 homicides in 1995, about the time when homicides in America peaked. Community leaders point to the pandemic’s erosion of Jackson’s already frayed social safety net, saying that the pandemic-caused closure of community institutions like churches, parks and other services almost certainly contributed to the uptick in violence. https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/28/us/jackson-mississippi-pandemic-homicides-gun-violence/index.html
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?

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.

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

The media didn't cover the shooting in Chicago on May 19th at Chicago Ave and State St. where 2 people died and 8 were injured?The media didn't cover the shooting at Millennium Park?There are plenty of memorials going on for shooting victims,you just "never looked around the internet" to try and find one.Politicians are always talking about the gun violence and it's victims in Chicago.So much for your other post about telling facts.

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.”

Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death for young people in the United States
"The severity of survivors' post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms is related to their proximity to the mass shooting. Anxiety and sadness are elevated, and local exposure to school shootings is associated with increased antidepressant use among youths. School shootings also increase absenteeism and grade repetition, reduce test scores, reduce the likelihood of completing high school and college, and reduce employment and earnings at ages 24 to 26. The cost is not just personal -- it's societal."

Then, just two days after a mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, where the gunman espoused the Great Replacement theory in a diatribe he wrote before murdering 8 African-Americans, Stefanik echoed the same idea on Twitter: "Democrats desperately want wide open borders and mass amnesty for illegals allowing them to vote."

Gun lobby promotes the myth that guns are a common and effective tool for self defense.
States with the most gun violence share one trait
(CNN) 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:

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.
