Democrat Presidential Nominees

In fact id wager the raw data says handguns are used in these “mass shootings” (shooting with 4 or more casualties) at about a 20-to-1 rate over ARs.

You also pull every death by gun into the equation (including single murders) and that number has to go to about 3,000 to 1.

Yeah, I mean, I'm just making assumptions of the numbers with no stats to back me up, but I feel pretty safe in the assumption that gun violence, whether accidental, domestic violence, or mass shootings, skews wildly towards handguns being the primary culprit in just about every metric.

But it's not front page national news when gang violence results in a guy shooting 5 thugs over a drug deal with a handgun. It's not even national news when someone breaks into a house and kills a family of 4 or 5 with a handgun. People think, I can avoid these situations. I can not live dangerously, I can not get involved with gangs and drugs, I can lock my doors, I can get a security system.

But when some nut goes to a public place and goes on a shooting spree, that is way more terrifying because of it's seemingly random nature, and that there's nothing you can do to stop it, other than be armed whenever you are in public. So it grabs the attention and creates an emotional response.

It's like the fear of plane crashes. Even though everyone who refuses to fly in a plane due to the fear of crashing, probably fiddles with their radio while driving, which is only about a million times more likely to result in their death than flying in a plane.

Lol running away with tax payer dollars. No instead we will have government running away with tax payer dollars. People couldn't really be dumb enough to think government stuff is actually free. You either pay for it with your taxes or you pay a company. At least one option gives you the choice of paying.

You just take it from those evil rich people. That'll pay for everything

What some people may not realize is that the government has no money except tax revenue and that is all used up in existing programs before they get it. In fact the government is always in a deficit position. The way they take care of the deficit position is to print more currency and issue more bonds and notes but that’s all debt. The government as a technical matter is perpetually broke. Folks think that their Uncle Sam is a rich fat dude but nothing could further from the truth. So tell me whether the politicians are ignorant or whether they rely on the voters to be ignorant?

They absolutely rely on the voter to be ignorant.

That's what they are really trying to say. Instead they say it like "lets stop the evil private companies from taking your money, the government can give everyone free internet" which is pathetic. Nothing the government does is free and frankly they are beyond shitty at most everything they run. So basically you can pay for it and get worse internet through the government. But hey those private companies aren't stealing the money that you voluntarily give them for a service. The government is.

I wish I had faith that the average voter wasn't that dumb. Once the majority of voters are taking more free government handouts then they put into the system we may all be screwed. Because why shouldn't they vote democrat? They are too dumb to see what impact that has on an economy and the actual impact it would have.

I never understood why people would think the big corporation was so evil but the big government was so benevolent. (And, as you say, efficient.) At least you can choose not to give the big company your business if you don't like them. When the government controls everything, you're screwed.

It's just simple propaganda and lack of thought on the part of our young socialist crowd.

I want to say something truly hateful about that loopy cunt, Warren, but I’ll not do it.

I’ll just say I hope she does something that rhymes with getting hit by a truck driven by an illegal immigrant and dies because the EMS take her to the nearest Native American hospital and they rub feathers on her wounds and chant.

I hate that bitch.
