ANTIFA showed up at the Virginia 2nd amendment rally and for the first time, didn't commit any act of violence. I wonder why?

They seem to trust criminals over law abiding citizens

"over 90% of mass shootings are done in gun free zones"

I have ad block and it will not allow me to view it without turning my ad block off. And I won't be doing that. I also don't believe anything that the leftist Washington Post has to say about pretty much anything. I mean, you may as well just link me to a CNN story while you're at it.

Why ad block? These sites don't run for free.

I don't have it on my phone, just my laptop. And it was mainly for YouTube. I'm sick of all the ads popping up and can't enjoy a video anymore because of the ads.

And I can turn off the ad block any time I watch a video on a channel I support so they can get the ad revenue.

I was thinking about that last night, so tempted to do that.
I don't mind a few ads, but when I'm trying to hear an album and it's constantly getting cut by ads, sometimes repeating the exact same ad it just played. The best is the endless ones that always seem to pop up when I'm sitting on the crapper or busy with something else and can;t skip it right away.

That's too bad. The article is nuanced enough and points out that there are no accepted definitions of either mass shootings or gun free zones and that like many statistics, it depends on how you count. It concludes like this,
"No matter how we spin these numbers, one thing is clear – they can be spun. And they have been. Without a commonly accepted and uniform definition of “mass shooting” or agreement on what constitutes a “gun-free zone,” it’s difficult to settle this debate. Advocates on both sides can point to holes and debatable logic in the reasoning of the study from the other sides."
It seems to me that if one were to have an honest debate it is worthwhile to look at such questions. Sure, I'm liberal and mostly anti-guns, but I didn't post the link just to say, "ha, I'm right and you are wrong", just to add some worthwhile points to the debate.

of course, my mistake might be that memes are more about rhetoric than debate! :)

Tbh I don’t have a source for those statistics but I’m pretty sure they’re right

And save multiple lives while you're at it. But what does your condescending reply have to do with my meme? You proved nothing but making a joke out of it as if multiple people dying from a mass shooting in a gun free zone was somehow humorous. You proved nothing. Gun free zones are a danger to average citizens who become sitting ducks every time they enter it.

My daughter is 8 and knows how to fire a gun and is not afraid of it. She knows how to use it and knows that it isn't a toy. And I know that if I am away from home, she can not only protect herself in the off chance someone breaks in and tries to harm her, but also protect her mother who is blind and disabled.

Gun violence is no laughing matter, but your approach to it is.

Between the two of us, I’m the only one with a solution that would actually solve the problem. Try some real gun control like they practice in other countries. Not this band-aid, gun free-zone crap that is bound to fail because it’s a localized solution to a nationwide problem in a country awash in 393+ million privately owned firearms.

Good for you and your daughter, but just know owning a gun, statistically, makes you less safe.

I don’t own or carry one, ever, and I feel plenty secure.

"Good for you and your daughter, but just know owning a gun, statistically, makes you less safe."

Says who? Tell that to the gun owners who have saved their lives and their family's lives from would-be intruders because they had a gun and weren't afraid to use it on the bad guy.

Owning a gun does not make you less safe. Owning a gun and not knowing how to use it like some gang banger or some hillbilly who plays around with it, can make anyone less safe. Not teaching your child about gun safety is also another way to be less safe. So your gun statistics, wherever you got them, takes all of that into factor, just as taking three people who died in one shooting as a mass shooting statistic makes it look like mass shootings happen on a weekly basis in the States. You have to understand where you're getting your statistics and how they compile them.

You admitted your guard dog alarm system would alert you if there was an intruder in your impenetrable fortress. You said you would cower on your roof deck waiting for the cavalry armed with guns to save you from the murderer with a gun.

Between the two of us, You're the only one too weak to defend himself, And dumb enough to believe murderers will stop murdering if guns are banned.

Remind me again how many guns were used to commit mass murder on 9/11... I'll wait while you think of a way to deflect.

Overall homicide rates in first-world countries that practice real gun control are much lower than in the U.S. which is strong evidence in support of the idea that restricting guns does not cause criminals to take up other weapons in equal rates

We’ve been over this before and it took about 2 seconds this time

I knew you would deflect instead of answering my questions.

Let's try this again for the mentally handicapped.

How...Many... Guns... Were... Used... To... Commit... Mass...Murder... On September (9)... Eleven (11).... 2001.

Even a child knows the answer, Which makes you dumber than a child.

cute bar graph for a 2 year period... world bank dev indicators is the source huh? lol what a dolt. UK has had a rise in gun homicides, tons of knife homicides, and now acid attacks... same with Australia and other places that went through disarmament. You gun hating kooks are a disease.

Direct your comment to KylieClown, He's the gun hater.

Deranged shooters are not going to start hijacking planes and flying them into buildings if we ban guns. It’s way, way harder to do, requires a team of people, and anyway, none of the countries that do restrict guns have suffered a 9/11 like catastrophe.

You refuse to answer... I wonder if you refuse because it doesn't fit your narrative.

Deranged murderers used ZERO (0) guns on 9/11. They managed to murder 2,997 people

Deranged shooters? Oh I see. You blame the persons mental state when it fits your narrative, But you blame the gun to fit your lying narrative. Got it.
Thanks for admitting what I already knew.

If deranged shooters aren’t going to start hijacking planes, then it’s a safe bet that un-deranged shooters aren’t going to be doing that either

You crawl from Meme to Meme using the same garbage talking points.
You use Whataboutism and deflection as a crutch. You refuse to answer questions a child could answer. You refuse to listen to anyone,You constantly move the goalpoasts to fit your lying narrative. Your comments get downvoted, And you strut around like you won the debate.

You're a Clown, Kylie.

Your comment was brilliant when you copied and pasted my comment, It was all downhill after that. It perfectly sums up your failed life.

"It perfectly sums up your failed life."

i've still got a long way to go in my life, so i've hardly failed.

I'm not your boss, I'm one of many users who watches you embarrass yourself...For free
Here is your latest failure.

my latest failure succeeds more than your inability to debate without ad hominem-based arguments

Look at you... All desperate and salty after getting embarrassed on another Meme ... Again.

And the best you could do is limp onto this Meme, Repeat what I said to KylieClown, Hoping he will be your friend. It's f**kin hilarious.

You don't have a job, Wasting your life playing video games and making a fool of yourself on a Meme site are the only worthless skills you have.

Poor Waffle, It really must suck being you.

oh c'mon my response was brilliant. perfectly sums up your character

You are going no where in life, And you're thrilled about it.

lmao you're not my boss, mate

You're bragging about succeeding, Yet you failed to show the names of the users.

Keep struggling Waffle.

You refused to answer my question and deflected just like I said you would.

You refuse because it doesn't fit your lying narrative.

You've proven you are lying by blaming a shooters mental state to fit your narrative, And you'll blame the gun to fit your lying narrative.

You've proven what I said on the other Meme. You'll Deflect, Use Whataboutism and you'll LIE in your arguments.

Thanks for proving it KylieClown.

A person of any mental fitness level is capable of killing more people with a gun than without one

So we should treat mental illness and take away guns — why not both?

So now it's about the number of victims. Not the gun... Got it.

Once again there were 2,997 victims on 9/11. Not a single gun was used.

We should treat mental illness and ban stupid liberals like you, Who think you have the right to dictate what someone else can own.

You don't get to decide, Asshole. You can decide to be a victim, You don't get to decide for anyone else.

I haven’t changed positions on anything, and I’ve dismissed each of your ineffective arguments one by one.

Implementing real gun control and improving access to mental health resources would both help reduce murders in this country

You’ve offered no solutions at all

9/11 was a freak occurrence that has nothing to do with routine gun violence in this country, of which far more people die per year (roughly 45,000 per year if you include gun suicides; 14,000-16,000 if you don’t)

The end

Because you were lying when you said it was their first time at non-violence?

Antifa dindu nuffin wrong

Beacause a bunch of wannabe posers played dressup in their cod cosplay. Also a few white supremasists were arrested beforehand who had plans fof shit.

"Beacause a bunch of wannabe posers played dressup in their cod cosplay."

yoooo the video games did nothin' wrong mate

You know, for a bunch of 2A enthusiasts, it's like you don't understand the point of gun free zones.

I understand the point perfectly. I also know they are unconstitutional and therefore illegal. And they don't work.

i understand the point of gun-free zones. the 2nd amendment was made to allow citizens to protect themselves from the government. it's not like the gun-free zone at your local post office was built to stop an insurrection.

We have a constitutional right to bear arms with no infringement. Gun free zones is an infringement of our constitutional rights. Therefore, it is illegal.

what if the trigger on a pistol was left on by accident and the pistol set off unexpectedly? it'd be better to avoid a legal quagmire if possible.

eyyy op never shot anyone, mate. the problem with leftists is that they like to delegitimize their opponents by comparing them to mass shooters. there's a difference between offense and defense when it comes to guns, mate.
