And the con-tards be like "This warning is for the liberal-controled cities, not places like El Paso or Dayton!"
It's a political stunt by a country that isn't friendly with the United States to begin with and the liberals drool all over themselves.

And please refrain from using the word retards as you have in the past or your variations of it. Do you know how offensive that term is?

She must be one of those grubby rednecks who thinks SS has become "too politically correct" and "too leftist" without realizing SS has been that way since day 1 in 1969.
And a couple of weeks ago a physical altercation broke out at Disney World between several black persons. Nobody from the right on here thought to call names or make it political. They're at least smart enough to recognize what it is -- a couple of individuals being jackasses. But the left, and more specifically you, generalizes everything in order to attack the other side.

No **** they are, it’s just unfortunate that this had to happen out of all places that’s supposed to be safe and family friendly for children.
It can happen anytime, anywhere. It can happen at a sporting event, concert, movie, any place people are gathered together. Sad fact of life. Best to ignore them and move on.

Typical republican Pennsylvania. It's not uncommon when one goes out of the liberal PA area to see Trump supporters *everywhere.*

Not the least bit surprised. If he carried out his intentions, it'd just be another day in America.

Welp, we finally made some progress!! I guess. . . .

In the face of the El Paso and Baton Rogue shootings, Walmart has decided to tackle the gun violence issues . . . by removing signs, banners, and other similar displays that promote and/or advertise video games . . . because, y'know, it's video games that cause mass shootings in America; not guns.

If not mass shootings, gun murders have been around since guns were invented. I was around in 1980 when John Lennon was shot, and nobody blamed his murder on Pac Man.
It is true people who spend hours on end with video games don't always develop the best social skills, which could (but not always) lead to them shooting up a crowd of people. But the equation isn't as simple as
Video games=mass shootings.
And taking guns away won't stop murders. As long as there are knives, or websites that can tell you how to make car bombs, people will find other ways to kill each other.

The difference between guns and knives is guns are weapons that are specifically made for mass destruction; knives aren't. No, it's not like you can't be killed by knives, but there's no way a single knife can take as many lives in a short amount of time with minimal effort like guns do . . . even John Walsh has said this on AMERICA'S MOST WANTED: there's no weapon in the world deadlier than a gun.

Again, nobody said anything about taking guns away (except for military-grade assault rifles that civilians have no business owning), and no, taking guns away won't stop murders, but making it harder to get guns would at least drop the number of murders (specifically caused by gun violence) quite significantly.

But overseas, people can cause a lot of casualties by running a car or truck into a crowd. And it's a lot easier to get behind the wheel than to get a gun.
