    Mom's could be so much safer if people like our Texas Republicans weren't so gun toting, looser gun laws crazy. Nearly 92% of all women killed by guns in high-income countries were American women, and American women are 21 times more likely to be shot and killed than women in other high-income countries.

    Without opening I would guess most female victims of gun violence are victims of domestic violence and it is a bigger issue than gun control

    Yeah usually the guns didn't start the domestic dispute

    Also America is safer than Mexico

    Even Canelo knows that

    I used to be a big more gun law guy. People like to talk about military style weapons but most people killed by guns are killed by hand guns.

    Mass shootings are an anamoly and gun laws or banning military style weapons won't stop ten percent of gun killings.

    Source? There aren't mass shootings every month they are news events. Regardless the vast majority of gun violence isn't mass shootings

    There's lots of shootings in Houston, mainly it's because of regular crime, like robbing or domestic issues.

    Nobody is getting mass shot here, there's not even mass shootings every day in Afghanistan.

    I liked Acevedo. His issue wasn't types of guns. It was ease of gun access

    Mass shootings in the US . That’s a problem. Not limiting Houston.

    So American men are 21 times more likely to shoot their partner? I would say guns are a huge issue.

    Yeah if you really wanted a gun you can get one
    This has been true since what?
    Billy the Kidd and the OK coral?

    what’s the difference between the red dead redemption times than now ? Just the internet thinking anything is new

    Don’t you need the police to enforce and remove any guns?
    Gangs and criminals already have guns. Who’s going to take the guns away from them ?

    some vegan wearing a Demi lovato shirt and skinny jeans ?

    Actually, you more likely to kill your spouse and kids with a gun than protecting yourself from a burglary or home invasion. Some people just shouldn't have access to guns. I say this as a person who owns more guns than even the average Texan. However, this is the price we pay for our freedom.

    Humans have been killing people for centuries
    Remember the wars, the crusades, Alexander , Ghengis Khan , etc

    nothing will happen that will change that

    people look at a small window of history

    I like to look at the history of humans since the beginning

    Says a man. There is a reason 92% of women who are victims of gun violence in high income countries are American.
