More people in America die of prescription overdoses than gun violence. What I don't know is how many of those overdoses were intentional. But they also save lives. Guns were still designed to kill. Guns were designed to DEFEND. And they DEFEND Americans over a million times a year, mostly without even being fired. What libs don't seem to get is that there are bad people in the world who will do bad shit to you and they don't care if it's in a gun free zone or how many rounds fit in the mag. They'll use any available means to hurt you and take your shit. And if you're some wizened old fart who dares to step out of their gated sanctuary, or if you're a woman going anywhere alone, you'd be better off doing it with the means to defend yourself or you're just a target waiting to get hit. And facts don't care about your feelings. reason.com/2022/09/09/the-largest-ever-survey-of-american-gun-owners-finds-that-defensive-use-of-firearms-is-common/

Show me where I have ever said I want to deny anyone anything, or supported taking guns away from the humpers. I've said is that the cat is out of the bag, the ship has sailed, the train has left the station, and there is nothing that can be done to stop the killing, and we all have a ticket in the lottery of death. American exceptionalism at its societal worst, deliberately forced on an entire nation. But yet you support the destruction of the nuclear family, hate the values that built this country? Where was all the gun violence 50 years ago or even 30 years ago?br] I have a couple of magazines from the 1960’s that have mail order ads to buy guns. Schools use to have shooting clubs. When I was a teenager I could walk down the road with my rifle or shotgun to go hunting after school and no one gave a me a second look. I could go on with all the examples that blow holes in your theory and beliefs. If only family structure outside of the US had changed as well without all the gun violence. American exceptionalism is real, just not the way gun humpers think it is.

A disagreement about a left turn exploded into a road-rage murder Friday in Opa-locka, Miami-Dade police say. Jahsie Mahoney, a 22-year-old Hialeah resident, has been charged with the second-degree murder of Caleb Smith, 24. Mahoney stayed at the scene and was booked into Miami-Dade County Jail little more than an hour after the shooting.

American exceptionalism is real, just not the way gun humpers think it is. The U.S. has the highest rates of single parent families in the world. The rate in the U.S. is 23% and in the EU-27 it is 15%. Only the U.K. comes close at 21%. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/12/12/u-s-children-more-likely-than-children-in-other-countries-to-live-with-just-one-parent/

How many shootings happen in the UK? Is it statistically proportional considering the 2% difference? Newsflash: It's the guns.

Posting shootings in Hialeah means nothing to me. My point was that the majority of Miami Cubans (and most were born there) are Trump supporters. Which is strange because Trump wanted to repeal and replace Obamacare. Did you know Hialeah has the most folks on Obamacare? www.politico.com/story/2015/06/obamacare-hialeah-florida-enrollment-118578We used to have a couple of dudes from Hialeah that used to post on the old forum. One was named HialeahAngler and the other was named Nuespeed if memory serves.

Heck one of the Proud Boys terrorist serving decades in prison for plotting against America is a Miami Cuban.

Guns prevent death and injury many more times than they cause death and injury.
It would take 5+ years of deaths associated with guns to equal the number of people killed by doctors in one year.
Stop being a chump to the lying leftists.

We have more freedom in that regard. The UK still has people who are off their rocker and commit mass murder though.

Almost all of the second generation Cubans I know (quite a few) have a low opinion of Biden. They may not be thrilled by Trump’s personality, but they will vote for him as the lesser of two evils politically.
