Gun Control & RKBA

(175 posts)33. mass shooting tracker is an admitted propagandist pushing an ideology.
        Have you clicked the links and found faulty info?  I found the links I clicked had local news reports of shootings involving 4 or more people shot, just as advertised.  Merely saying the website is "propaganda" is not making the links to news stories disappear.
I agree with your solutions to the gang problem, they are reasonable.  Maybe a handgun ban is unreasonable.  My comment about other steps not being related to guns was specifically because we here are talking about gun bans and thus I did not see the need to talk about school reform, welfare, drug war, etc.

        It is my belief that rights are innate in humans. They cannot be "taken away".
