    Sheer incompetency and cowardice.

    They didn't do their jobs.

    Every single one of them should be fired and striped off of any retirement benefits.

    Parents should sue every single one of them and go after them hard.

    ...it's usually an automatic death sentence and subsequent summary execution for Negroes.

    ...uh...
    ...that is, only if we're all supposed to get the same treatment... ;)

    these people are so damn dumb it’s unbelievable…they will literally believe anything no matter how stupid it sounds and do not care at all about facts

    I’m sure this “stat” spread throughout right wing circles and many others believe this…this dumbass got that talking point from somewhere

    no, I'm just saying that the point that is made about hammers has always referred to rifles. You said they had to have gotten that talking point somewhere, I'm simply telling you where it comes from. It doesn't matter what year it is, the actual numbers will vary year to year

    It does matter what year it is. The amount of gun related deaths has risen steadily since 2011 has it not?

    The 45,222 total gun deaths in 2020 were by far the most on record, representing a 14% increase from the year before, a 25% increase from five years earlier and a 43% increase from a decade prior.

    Gun murders, in particular, have climbed sharply in recent years. The 19,384 gun murders that took place in 2020 were the most since at least 1968, exceeding the previous peak of 18,253 recorded by the CDC in 1993. The 2020 total represented a 34% increase from the year before, a 49% increase over five years and a 75% increase over 10 years.

    So why should we be using stats from 2011 or saying the year doesn’t matter?

    How can u even make that point when hammers is in a category with all other blunt force causes of death? Hammers could account for 40% of those deaths for all we know. So u don’t even know how many people actually died via hammer.

    then there’s a whole category of death where the gun wasn’t stated

    Are parents supposed to be more concerned with their child dying via a hammer at school than they are from a gun? Is that the right wing rationale these days.

    And "Mass hammerings" isn't really a thing.

    This is part of the more misleading logic. Yes a hammer and many other things can be lethal but if a hammer were so good at killing people I doubt anyone in that NRA convention would consider putting down their firearms and take up hammers for self-defense.

    Hammers and firearms are tools. One of those is specifically designed to kill.

    This is the corrupt, incompetent, and cowardly police force @tmacfor35 was trying so desperately to defend? Yikes

    Hiding behind the families they failed to protect.

    Cowards to the core.

    None of that matters. Because “the 2nd amendment is still my right and it’s still important to me.”

    Interesting. I mentioned the whole time that I wanted to see more info before I had a real opinion on it. Once I did, I landed on the same side as yourself.

    I just will assume your personal vendetta against cops has something to do with your own life. Sorry that it bothers you so much.

    That’s what intelligent people usually do before they speak or make decisions. How much time have you done?
