Is this really the America you want to live in?

he's 100% right. They have a responsibility to tell the truth.

If they want to continue to lie, they can go on YouTube.

Media wise - it's a step closer to a better America than the past 70+ years where the MSM has been a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party.

Let's forget reporting for a minute and think about Presidential debates for the past 20 years. Not even a semblance of parity - Hillary Clinton had the questions in advance, for chrissakes, and we were never supposed to know that. Lefties have grown so used to this ideological imbalance that they think it's an entitlement.

let's face it, if there wasn't a NY Post, Fox News and conservatives on social media, and all we had was the MSM, we would have never known about Hunter's laptop and The Big Guy. More people would believe the lie that Trump colluded with Russia and that he called Nazi's in Charlottesville "very fine people". I mean, just a couple days ago the MSM lied saying Trump broke protocol when he walked ahead of King Charles during his visit.

spot on.

if you understood my post I found online ... It is impossible to provide a definitive number of lives saved by guns each year, as there is no official national count for such incidents. The estimated figures vary dramatically, ranging from tens of thousands to millions, depending on the research methodology and definition of "defensive gun use" (DGU)

Which, if you think about it, makes sense. The news will report when a person is shot and killed but not the times when a crime was avoided. How do you possibly keep stats on that? So, if you think there no crimes or people not being killed whosoever in the country because citizens are carrying guns, then ok, but if you think there are, then "tens of thousands to millions" seems likely.

We keep stats when comes to car accidents but there are no stats showing how many millions of people drive each day accident free.

I live in a city with one of the highest gun ownership on the planet. Only once every blue moon do you hear someone encountered and stopped a perp from committing a crime. Even rarer do you see where it saved their life. Most of the time the perp is trying to get away and the citizen shoots him in the back anyway. We just had a dumb dumb shoot and kill a 11 year old ringing doorbells playing ding dong ditch. He’ll be spending a lot of years in prison.

Guns rarely prevent crimes. It’s a fallacy. Much higher numbers of gun related violence and fatalities. Guns are more likely used in homicides, suicides, or accidentally deaths.

US citizens are not safer with more guns. That’s ludicrous. We need less guns and we really need to get it out of the hands of <30 year old boys.

first of all, I never made up that stat where it says tens of thousands to a million. America is never gonna give up its guns. They will never give up their cars either and they kill more people each year than guns.

How do you know guns rarely prevent crimes? Do you have proof of this or is it just a feeling you have?

Way back when, I helped a friend for a summer who owned a security company. Alarms, video cameras etc. When a criminal sees a house which has an alarm, they will likely move on to another place to rob. Criminals are generally very lazy. We will never actually know how many break-in crimes the house with an alarm prevented, but its certainly some. Same with a big dog. How many criminals said "hell no" when they saw Brutus in the yard? Doesn't it make sense that it works much the same when it comes to guns? I mean Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country and every weekend there are several people shot and killed.

Listen man, I wish there weren't gun either. There are solutions. You have an armed retired cop at schools. That will greatly prevent school shootings. How this hasn't been done already is nuts. How many kid's lives would have been saved if there was someone at the school with a gun? Instead, they sit back and complain while some nutcase casually walks into the school.

I guess we just view life differently.

Yes we view life differently. I’ve actually lived in major cities across this great country. You live on an island. Robb elementary school in Uvalde ~20 kids murdered. Sante Fe high school, 10 kids gunned down. Both schools had armed guards. The police stood outside with guns while the perp continued to gun down little kids. Kids on their cell phones pleading for help, 20+ minutes the police were too scared to engage. Those kids died with officers right outside the door. Guess what this state governor did? He banned kids from having cell phones in school.

You mention alarms, cameras, a big dog. Those are a lot more effective than guns.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I hear ignorant people mention Chicago like you just did. They/you either don’t understand or you’re purposely lying to make a point.

Gun laws in one city/state has very little impact when you can easily get a gun in another state. Most deadly shootings you hear about in Chicago is concentrated over drug turfs. Chicago is a very safe city if you’re not in the drug trade.

The gun lobbyists own both parties but never say never. You don’t have to give up guns but you could add age restricted gun laws, you can also pressure and make liable gun manufacturers. Who’s to say we couldn’t ban guns for under 21, 25 or 30? You do that for a few years and this gun culture would end in less than a decade.

Our forefathers never envisioned our own citizens gunning down other citizens with weapons of war.
