    With Trump intimating that the Synagogue should have been armed or had armed protection
    I could not help but wonder . . . . .

    Schools .. . . Religious Places . . . . .Theaters. . . . . .

    Is there any part of American Life that won't be militarized?
    Any part of American Life were one should NOT be Strapped?

    Are we becoming the Old West were every one has a strap on their hip
    and someone bumps you to hard. . . . 10 paces and DRAW!!!!

    Are we ok with that?

    I think there might be a misconception about the old west.

    People didn’t just walk around everywhere with six shooters on their hips.

    That’s Hollywood stuff.

    From what I understand, generally speaking people did not do that and if you came into town, you had to surrender your firearms.

    That’s actually why the shootout at the OK Corral occured. Law enforcement was attempting to disarm some guys breaking the town ordinance with regards to disarming upon entering town.

    See this is what im pointing out. We ignore the everyday stupid ghetto violence of the ghetto and then act like these mass shootings are the big problem of guns.

    They are no where equivalent and if gun control people wanna ignore ghetto violence then the gun rights people arent listening.

    Its ridiculous that you as the race card player here wants to talk mass shootings and bury your head on black violence.

    You one of those ignorant blacks on social media showing up when something like Squirrel Hill happens like yeah at least we arent mass shooters and thats not true either

    Its sad because you aren't helping poor blacks by burning your head and your mission is not to be associated wuth those problems in Chicago

    I don't think having armed security protecting targeted groups means that it's the wild west or that things are even militarized. It's just common sense to protect targeted groups with guns, we've been doing it since guns were a thing....and before that we protected targeted groups with the weapons of the day.

    You wouldn't call banks "militarized" for having armed security would you? I mean, it's obvious that they are a target, but these days it should be every bit as obvious that schools and religious buildings are also targets.

    River

    Am i lying about the murder numbers in Chicago alone vs total from mass shootings?

    This isnt just about you this is the disconnect between gun control and gun rights

    America isnt a violent industrialized nation based on mass shootings. The distinction is based on stupid ghetto violence
