If "the cows were coming home" in Australia, then the little children would NOT be afraid to go to school !!!!!

Well, "switchblade" drones can almost do that. I hear that the NRA is proposing those for CIVILIAN US use.

They need them for hunting 😂😂😂

I just watched the Chief of Police in Tulsa giving the timeline.

Less than 10 minutes after the 911 call, police were on the second floor of the Doctors office building where the shooting took place. The scene (2nd floor) was described as a complicate place for the officers and posed particular problems. THEY were yelling, "Tulsa Police". A minute later the shooter shoot himself.

Well trained, well disciplined. less than 10 minutes. Not a hour later some officers ignore orders and go in - like in Texas. Fast response is the top priority in training for these situations. And in Tulsa it worked.

BTW: Not that it matters. The shooter was not happy with the outcome of a surgery he had a week or so before, so on the 29th he purchase a semi-automatic hand gun (.40 Cal) and on the day of the shooting he purchase an AR-15 style weapon. 30 casings of 0.223 were found on the scene, and 8(? something like that) casing of .40 found on the scene. He left a letter saying he was going to kill the doctor and anyone that got into his way. It took him almost 40 rounds to accomplish his goal. I guess others ( like patients and doctors) got in his way.

EDITED to remove comment about facts that some found offensive. Facts are facts, unless you don't like them I guess.

Slick deflection to Covid.

Seeing how popular Shooters World is, I would guess TV has a high per capita gun ownership rate and a very low per capita homicide rate.

Are the guns in The Villages different, that they don’t kill people, like the do in Detroit?

Keep guessing, you are getting warm.........hint UK ownership.

Maybe. The guns are old, their muzzle velocity has slowed down, the bullets are softer and the trigger is rusty 😂😂😂

Yes, there should be a mental health test......every 2 years. ?????? I wonder how many here in TV Land would pass. I remember a tennis player here that definitely would NOT pass. And one of my neighbors, I have serious doubts about.

The deer better watch out......meat prices are skyrocketing!

Uvalde is city with a population of 16,000 with a police force that reflects that number. Tulsa has a population of 400,000. Who do you expect to have a better trained and staffed police department?

Then your race baiting at the end is just sick!

I drew no conclusions OTHER than I said the Tulsa Police were better trained.

I drew NO conclusions in my observation of differences in the victims. My statement was true. In Uvalde nothing happened until a Childs father arrived and went in.

You can draw any conclusions you want, please do not attribute your opinions to my comment. Draw your own conclusions.

Christianity - oh yeah. That's a good one. The religion that did the whole "convert or die" thing back during the Crusades. The thing that had Englanders rushing to the New World to escape persecution because their version of Christianity wasn't the "right kind."

Christianity - the #1 religion in Oklahoma, where over 75% of the population is some denomination or another of Christian.

Here's some clues: the majority of mass shooters in the USA were NOT athiests. Lack of universal background checks made it easier for them to get more guns and more ammo. Having universal background checks would likely not have stopped most of them. But it would've made it harder for them to get.

I'm not for a weapons ban - banning weapons doesn't stop weapons from being sold. But I am in favor of halting the manufacture of semi-automatics and retail sales. In other words - any currently in circulation should still be allowed to be in circulation. But from now on - any (semi-automatics) made will be for the military and the police, via contract. So there's 100% accountability in the chain of distribution.

I'm also for the clips that hold lots of rounds being restricted (not banned) to military/police use only. I don't know how many rounds, but certainly no one needs more than a couple of bullets to hit their target if they're properly trained.

I'm also for mandatory training and licensing, just as we do for driving motor vehicles.

Wait, didn't we just dump all the mentally ill out? Who was it that defunded the mental health institutions. Oh, now I remember. The ones calling shooters crazy and blaming mental health for all the deaths. The ones that didn't "fix" that when they controlled 3 branches of government. And yet, here they all are again blaming mental health, but not willing to fund it. And still, they couldn't wait to go into recess and NOT propose a mental health funding bill, that they say is the problem.

Prior to 2004 there was a ban on “Assault weapons” but it expired. Were things better then? Just asking….
