US surgeon-general declares gun violence a public health emergency amid outbreak of mass shootings Shocked

‘’ To drive down gun-related deaths, he called on the US government to ban automatic rifles, introduce universal background checks for purchasing guns, regulate the industry, pass laws that would restrict their use in public spaces and penalise people who failed to safely store their weapons.’’
The good doctor should look at the laws.
Automatic rifles are generally banned and are only allowed on restricted license.
Of course he may have been misquoted but that leaves the reporter and the editor and staff wanting in knowledge.

I wonder if the rest of your 93,000 + posts are as inane?

'Every year, more than 43,000 Americans are killed with guns and approximately 76,000 more are shot and wounded. This gun violence costs our nation $557 billion every year.' https://www.everytown.org/what-the-cost-of-gun-violence-costs-us/
That's a healthy amount to spend on good living and defending people against people who defend people.

Great post but I can’t find the usual racism.

Ice creams can be really scary. One certainly wouldn't want their children near one.

That's right. Just think how many Russian lives would be saved if Sleepy and the Euros stopped giving weapons to Ukraine.

Imagine how many could be saved if they let Vlad take the rest of Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics. Xi could get involved and save lives in Taiwan too - a real win-win.

The big fella made Europe pay their NATO bills, but do you know? Maybe we could save more lives without having NATO at all.

I think it's a smart move.

You?

I have never heard of anyone using a big mac or can of coca cola to kill a dozen children instantly....Perhaps you could explain how a big mac can kill someone instantly and are more deadly than an assault rifle....Lets not forget that diet is a personal choice but being murdered by someone with a gun is a random act of violence....Your anology is crap as usual!!!

Maybe the Americans have this idea that the amount of fat they have on their bodies would help prevent ammunition from penetrating their organs.

You?

When the Warsaw Pact was disbanded NATO under agreement was to also end. When the West failed to live up to their side of the bargain Russia asked to join NATO and was refused. You really wandered off the plantation with this one. What has any of this to do with bidens gay indian?
