What a mess...

Too much gun violence in the U.S.

Is it the gun culture or racism or a combination of both.

Sickening!

Sorry, not Ag related but lots of topics get discussed that aren't.

Racism, poverty, gun culture, second amendment, NRA, Republican party, etc etc. Pick choice, all part of the problem. Look at Sandy Hook, how many elementary students killed and still the NRA and Republican party say more guns are the answer. No American laws will ever change as long as the Republican party is in charge of the US senate as the NRA controls them.

Then of coarse there's Donald Trump, things can only get worse.

pretty bad , when the country gets to the point everyone is assumed to have a gun. (or does)
one wrong move at a traffic stop and your dead.
in London, watched the British version of cops. when stopped some folks would jump out of their cars and run back to police car. cops never flinched.
a nation without hand guns.

may they never drive in the USA.
esp. if they are black

"The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun". Mmmm, i get this logic isnt correct now is it? Lots of hate in the good ole USA.

Just some inconvenient facts for you.
The Democrat Obama had a Democrat majority in senate for his first 6 years, what laws did they change that will help?
He also had a congress majority for his first 2 years.

All Obama seems to do is incite more violence and has become the top gun marketer by talking up race issues in the USA. The media also adds fuel to a fire and before you know it a few police officers get killed by protesters who are looking for an excuse to kill.

Most states are open carry. More guns than people. Culture of right to use guns to defend yourself. Now we have police using explosives to kill shooter. The whole system is coming to a head. Politicians like Trump using fear and hate to gain favour. Where are all those so called Christians that believe in peaceful resolution?

Despite how the media manipulates you, and massages you daily, all crime is down in the USA! Here are the FBI stats, <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014/tables/table-1"target=blank>FBI Stats</a>

Bet nobody's talking about Hillary getting a pass from her old friend Comey today, or even this weekend! humm,,,

Hey Border - Are you actually claiming this shooting was actually a Clinton coverup of the email farce. Talk about conspiracy theories! BTW, were you just as upset with the 2007 Bush email scandal when an estimated 22 million white house emails that were hosted on non government RNC servers were deleted by the RNC when requested for a congressional inquiry? Funny how republicans that are so upset with Clinton had no problem when their party did the same thing on a much bigger scale. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_White_House_email_controversy

Most cops are cool but some are not. I had one that j thought was going to kill me once. Usually when they came to bust up our parties and bar fights we would just head to their car calling shotgun and they gave us a ride. I thought one kid cop after agribition was going to **** me up screaming his head off to get my hands on the dash of the vehicle I was to busy laughing to be scared. Then me and a bud where tanked in Regina got chucked out of the casino I've been thrown out of there like six or more times and the ****eres called the cops and I caught a 24hr which should have been a zero eight. I think the slip tank and tools and our dirty clothes saved me as in why **** up the lives of working men. But in Mexico do not **** around buds an I seen plain clothes guys hurt a man real bad. Oh ya then there is the time buds and I got caught with drugs at the border that is one funny story.
