Mental illness or just being plain old evil. Fight the gun control and fight mental illness.

Houston murders 2018: 335

NYC, with c.6.25 million more people than Houston, had 289 murders in 2018.

Um, what was your point again?

The point is, Houston has about the same number of people as Chicago, nearly 3x less police, allows concealed gun carrying and still has 9x less the murders. New York was not part of the discussion. Also, if Walmart had a sign on its doors that said “ this is not a gun free zone, don’t freak out if you see a person with a gun, unless they are actively attacking others,” there would be less innocent killings. Here is the logic. This is just an example. Someone who has a gun license and a gun on them walks into Walmart. Someone else sees the gun and calls the police, thinking that there is about to be a mass shooting. The person then screams to everyone else that there is a shooter in the building, and the police get stationed outside of the building with guns ready. If . Any

The point is NYC has nearly 4x the population of Houston, nearly 2.1 million Blacks, nearly 2.3 million Hispanics, 1.7 million poor (20% of the population) - the poor alone would be the 7th largest city in the USA is separated, and yet less murders than Houston. THAT'S the point.

I stopped reading after, "New York was not part of the discussion."
Therefore we agree that the rest of what you said is irrelevent.

Also, I was adressing the OP, not you. He's a big boy, he can speak for himself.
Since you claimed "New York was not part of the discussion," you should have not discussed it..

I didn’t.

Also, I am sorry about any rudeness that I might of conveyed.

Any logical person who thinks they protect another usually will try to, but if the fist person with a gun searches the building for the shooter and does not find anyone, they would think it is safe to go outside. The moment they walk out the building, they are shot by around 10-20 guns, resulting in a innocent person dead because one person was not informed that Walmart is not a gun free zone.

If I wanted to be accused of being "racist", I could point out that there's a line not highlighted that could be.

You mean that the percentage of Asians is exactly the same?

Yeah, exactly, that's the ticket! ;-)

haha

Fight mental illness by unsubsidizing vaccines!

Not too long ago, there were around 50 people killed, because the people were at church and they didn’t have any guns. If one or two people had guns when and where it happened, only around two people would be dead. The logic is, if you are a criminal, where would you go? A place where people are aloud to carry guns and will kill you if you try to kill someone, or a place where everyone is defenseless and you don’t have to worry about being killed on the spot? Please comment your answer.

Do you expect that a criminal will follow the laws? They don’t, if you were wondering. It’s the reason they are called criminals.

Maybe Chicago should use this. Start by massively cracking down on gang activity.

However in every other developed country they do not have such widespread gun violence and mass shootings are virtually unheard of as indeed are shooting at schools leading to dead kids. So what can we conclude from this if as stated above all gun murders in America are down to mental illness and not the guns.

1. The developed world has virtually no one with mental illnesses. (extremely unlikely)
2. American is a country with the highest amount of violent mental illnesses in the world.

Well, the rest of the world doesn't care about the answer, so carrying on killing each other and praying that your kids don't come home from school in a box.

Americans are also dumb enough to believe that it is impossible to carry guns across state borders and that people do not have cars to buy a gun from a lax state and commit murder in a gun control area....... lol

You mean the website designed to operate on the WWW by that famous American Sir Tim Berners-Lee?

If the price of keeping America safe from all those invaders and tyrannical governments is thousands upon thousands of dead Americans each year, many of which are school children, then go right ahead. Who needs to invade America when the Americans are good at killing each other

In that case you need to go back to Alan Turing if we are talking underlying technology or even further back still to Charles Babbage.
