But, but, but... it looks so SCARY!!1!1!!

Glad to see the OP cares so much about this topic that they posted a blatantly misleading tweet and then made no attempt to engage in discussion for 10 hours.

And subtract out suicide deaths

I was actually pretty surprised... 60% of the gun deaths are suicides.

OP - I'd highly recommend you go back ti school and take some logic, math, or statistics.

What's even more ridiculous, 13 people blue starred this post, how stupid.

This is nauseating. The majority of the country wants to get rid of battle rifles intended to commit mass shootings in war zones because a bunch of selfish loons have an ar-15 fetish they find more important than those battle weapons being used to mass murder kids every other week.

Getting rid of these things is obvious and same. Yet, here we are with the "herr, durr them dems just want to score political points just because a bunch of innocent people got mowed down, yet again, with a battle rifle."

It's the guns. We all know that.

The premium/general folks love to come over here and star things and not engage.

Military rifle? Really? I own an AR-15 and I would like someone to tell me which military would want these in their fighting arsenal. They're great for hunting pigs and varmints but they're not military rifles. So so stupid. You're tipping your hand.

WHEN DO THE GUNS START MAKING US SAFER? Texas keeps weakening its gun laws and selling a record number of guns; meanwhile, the state’s gun homicide rate has increased 90% since 2011.

Shouldn’t Texas be one of the safest states in the nation? Or at least getting safer? pic.twitter.com/T6ZbsqouSq

I am always suspicious when random time intervals are chosen by propaganda apparatuses of the federal government, the biggest purveyor of misinformation and outright lies since Nazi Germany

I would also note that the person that posted this disabled comments, so much for open debate, so very progressive smh

Y'all say the exact same stuff over and over again without support, context or care for the bill of rights.

What the **** is a battle rifle?

She won't come back to answer.

Love your work Rockdoc, but you need to keep up. "Military rifles" wouldn't fly with knowledgeable F16 posters any more than "assault rifles" did in the past, so the description has been reimagined and they are currently referred to as "battle rifles".

HTH

I have to give you credit - I guess you've learned they're not "assault weapons" and have moved on to "battle rifles", whatever the hell that means.

Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics.

Let's see if I can play too...

Numbers inflect significantly upward starting in early 2020 to coincide with the COVID-19 outbreak.

That chart says Gun deaths and injuries cost the state of Texas $51.3 billion per year? Damn, Ukraine cost the U.S. about $76.8 billion in 2022 according to this chart:

https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts#:~:text=Since%20the%20war%20began%2C%20the,Economy%2C%20a%20German%20research%20institute.

So $51.3 billion annually in estimated damages in Texas for gun violence and 'societal cost' of $1769 per person per year? And Texas is just 28th in that number of the 50 states? be interested to see more detail on how they came up with those numbers.

"Battle weapons"…….. That's some serious self ownage, especially when it's handguns doing the vast majority of illegal gun activity, and the scary AR-15 semi auto weapons are not used in battle by regular armies. You really need to check your sources before regurgitating such nonsensical garbage talking points.

How much does illegal immigration cost Texas? Do you have any idea where their numbers come from?

Idiots who use the word battle rifle are as knowledgeable as the idiots who use the word clip for magazine.

Note that it's liberals who have caused any uptick in deaths:
- Open borders
- undermining marriage and family leading to more suicides
- demonization of police, leading cops to back off in cities and homicides to skyrocket

Much like in California, Oregon, Washington, and blue cities around the country, Dem policies have made everything worse.

Rather than owning that, they use unbelievably use their own failings as a way to blame Republicans.

So much liberal stupidity on display in this thread. And these people vote. This is why this country is so ****ed and why we can't have nice things.

OP getting absolutely destroyed in his poorly attempted gotcha thread

Total deaths is idiotic as far as drawing conclusions.

Per capita deaths is the correct measure and even then you have to look at other factors like demographics.

Here is a fact: if Dems were not allowed to obtain guns, gun violence in this country would be as low as countries that outlaw citizens owning guns. The problem is Democrats, not gun laws.

You are:

You have been clowned.

It's culture and leftist insanity. We all know that.

13% of the population commits most of the murders and crime in this country. Most of the lone shooters in the last 10 or so have been leftists because the insanity of your side is destroying this country.

The left and Democrats obliterate traditional norms, morality, and hierarchies.

Then post memes that express bewilderment at the results.

Golf clap.

People are dangerous. You can't give a dangerous thing weapons of mass destruction and expect no violence. We should remove things that can be used to kill massive amount of people from our society. And this includes assault rifles.
