Pearl Harbor and Pensacola clearly show that our Navy needs more thoughts and prayers in order to ward off these senseless killings. |

Yet more painful stupidity of having guns randomly 'to hand': India woman shot for 'pausing dance' at wedding An Indian dancer has been hospitalised after being shot in the face because she stopped performing at a wedding. In a video of the incident, the woman is seen dancing on a stage. She pauses, a gunshot is heard, and the woman falls down while holding her face... And there are multiple other gun tragedies: ... Other tragedies happen by accident. In November 2016, a gun-toting self-proclaimed god-woman killed three people including the groom's aunt, after firing celebratory shots at a wedding in the northern state of Haryana. In 2018, Punjab police arrested a man after he allegedly shot dead his neighbour by mistake during a pre-wedding party. He had fired shots into the air to celebrate his daughter's upcoming wedding. But one of the bullets hit his female neighbour in the forehead, killing her instantly. Are we yet not 'civilized' enough for a first small step to exterminate all guns?

Are we yet not 'civilized' enough for a first small step to exterminate all guns? And we're to trust that all guns can be removed from Society, when the security of the most powerful Navy on the planet can't prevent one being used in a mass shooting inside one of it's most secure facilities? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/us/nas-pensacola-shooting.html#link-41477835 ......Unauthorized weapons are not allowed on the base, Captain Kinsella said, adding, “You can’t bring a weapon on base unless you’re part of the security forces.†No thank you, I'll take care of defending myself, on my terms, under my 2nd Amendment Rights. Guns are a fact of modern life the same as electricity. You cannot remove them entirely and as long as one remains in the hands of someone with evil intent, it will be used to do harm. You can't wish them away. Accept the fact they exist and conduct your actions accordingly. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

Seems to me that the most powerful Navy on the planet are protecting American national economical interest over seas but not American citizens safety at home. |

Lets add another billion guns and go for more death and destruction! https://komonews.com/news/local/accidental-shootings-by-police-expose-training-shortfalls-12-09-2019 Accidental shootings by law enforcement have happened in recent years at agencies small and large and at all levels — city, county, state and federal — across the U.S., an Associated Press investigation found. They've caused hundreds of injuries to officers, suspects and bystanders, and sometimes they've caused deaths. |

Guns, guns, more guns, it is the answer JERSEY CITY, New Jersey -- One police officer was killed and three others were wounded, and there are five people dead inside a grocery store following a wild shootout and standoff in Jersey City Tuesday afternoon. |

Guns, guns, more guns, it is the answer The Mayor has the right idea, it is a very effective strategy! "Our thoughts and prayers are with the men and women of the Jersey City Police Department, especially with the officers shot during this standoff, and with the residents and schoolchildren currently under lockdown," New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said |

Simple: Require gun-free zones, especially so for all large venues. Once that is accepted, extend 'gun-free' to more areas until the American Wonky-Wild-West finally catches up to a new gun-free culture. Otherwise, anything less is continued Mad Max madness! And for those claiming "Can't be done"... Note that we've had greater cultural shifts here in the UK with such as the introduction of driving tests and driving licenses, no drink-driving, and no smoking in venues or in the workplace or in public places. Our world is much better for that. Meanwhile in America?...

Just more innocent blood on the hands of the NRA and their fruit loop followers. :-( When is the U.S. going to wake up? |

Just more innocent blood on the hands of the NRA and their fruit loop followers. :-(When so Americans in the US learn that guns are lethal weapons that only appointed and trusted people are allowed to use them perhaps? |

That's a problem too. In the US law enforcement they expect or anticipate that everyone has a lethal gun. You don't see those interactions in Europe like police officers stopping a car for some reason whatever and having a nervous police aiming a gun at you.Just more innocent blood on the hands of the NRA and their fruit loop followers. :-(When so Americans in the US learn that guns are lethal weapons that only appointed and trusted people are allowed to use them perhaps? |
