All the ones I know soil themselves when I bring one of mine out. Makes it easy to clear them out of the house when I'm tired of them.
There are some in my wife's family. They are certain that a gun will get up off the table and shoot them all on its own accord. But they are the same ones who believe in human induced climate change, so no logic lives in them.You have friends that don't own guns? Thought you lived in the mid-west?
I noticed Israel wasn’t on there. That had to skyrocket upward after October.I'm not sure if NPR is considered a reliable source, but I'm not sure "28th highest" would qualify us as "one of the highest"? Of course this is the internet, this is no place to allow facts and data to get in the way of a good debate

If you eliminated about a 10 square block area in North St. Louis (maybe 2% of the area the city covers) you eliminate almost 90% of the "gun violence". We do have one of the Mexican drug cartels operating in downtown and there have been some interesting gun battles between them and the gangs that traditionally control the drug and human trafficking. But that very rarely spills out of that 10 block area.Indeed - if we eliminated Chicago, LA, Baltimore, St Louis & New York City from those stats, I bet we’d almost be the most peaceful nation on earth who slows its citizens to protect themselves
.
That wasn't gun violence, that was freedom fighting. So it doesn't count, right?
I was about to delete my posts because I didn’t realize it was 6 pages long and I was responding to page 1.
I deleted that post because I thought it was irrelevant to where the conversation went on page 6
I am not a fan of St. Louis at all
Besides the Arch (I've never been in it) our baseball stadium and hockey arena, I have no use for the city of St. Louis. Well, other than my employer is there.... But the metropolitan area has some great areas and restaurants, especially if you like Italian food. There is never any violence on The Hill - which is the Italian district.
I go there once in a while for a foundry show at the downtown convention center. Not cool. I went there another time to buy a 39 sundancer on the river…. The guy that owned it was a Chevy dealer in town…… I sat in his office at the dealership and I felt like I was being sold a used car….. it was funny as Phuck….. I left…. Nice covered slip marina on the river over looking the arch though
If you go 1 block north of the convention center you will be in homicide central. I don't even go there in the day. My office, the 2 times I go there a year, is across the street (south) and a little east.
You mean your post wasn't relevant to a revolution in the US?I deleted that post because I thought it was irrelevant to where the conversation went on page 6
I think that goes for a lot of these cities. Minneapolis as well. About 10 square blocks and everyone’s gets to keep their catalytic converters.
The dealer was on the other side of the river going east first exit
Oh, in East St. Louis, Il. Not much better from a crime perspective, but that doesn't count against St. Louis crime stats.
It went from the US is the most dangerous nation, to the Constitution and the Military oath……so yeah.
We do like to clutch our guns and bibles....
I knew someone would call out my house of the word majority. You know what I mean. Don’t get caught up on the specifics. For each individual voting item, the majority wins. How you group them to get to individual votes on items is part of them process of your democratic process. Even if you define your democracy as a republic. Which it is.
