Isn't it just amazing how Second Amendment and NRA nutters try to deflect their stupidity over to other countries to try and make out that they don't have a problem that ranks them up there with 3rd World countries.

The Washington Post has an article showing that most of Trump's organisations are under investigation. Mounting legal threats surround Trump as nearly every organization he has led is under investigation As you can imagine the list is too long to post here.

Isn't it lower in the table, that Clyde referred too, than most third World countries. Without looking I think he said twentieth from bottom. There are 195 countries in the World.

That depends on whether the graph works from the best to the worst or vice versa (the graph that I refer to had the worst at the top). ;-)

Sorry, in the UK we usually refer to the bottom as being the worst place. We think that is logical.

How about if I rephrase that to,

"Isn't it just amazing how Second Amendment and NRA nutters try to deflect their stupidity over to other countries to try and make out that they don't have a problem that ranks right up there amongst the worst surrounded by a lot of lesser developed countries"?

If you feel that threatened, and need firearms to protect yourself, your family and your property, then it is time to move out, to somewhere less threatening.

Perhaps one should look to himself and realize the threat one faces is because of the hate one spews and the greed one practices.

It seems William Shakespeare's play is still going strong after 139 years.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-california-shooting/three-killed-four-wounded-in-california-bowling-alley-shooting-idUSKCN1OZ08J
(Reuters) - Three men were killed and four wounded in a shooting at a bowling alley in the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance and police said early on Saturday they were searching for a suspect or suspects.

The incident followed a fight at the Gable House Bowl, a bowling alley and arcade that also offers laser tag, according to local media.

The Torrance Police Department said officers responded to a shot-fired call at the location found multiple gunshot victims. Two men were taken to hospital, two opted to seek their own medical attention, and three were pronounced dead at the scene.

"I grabbed my niece and started running toward the far end of the bowling alley," he said. "As we were running, we heard 15 shots."

....and so now the "Blue Eyed White Man" described by 'witnesses' as the shooter who murdered a beautiful, innocent little girl in Houston in a drive by shooting, turns out to be two black Gangbangers doing what they usually do.

......there is no reverse prejudice in America........

i.e. costs. Won't spend the money to do proper vetting.

"An Ordinance for the Regulation of Hackney-Coachmen in London and the places adjacent" was approved by Parliament in 1654, to remedy what it described as the "many Inconveniences [that] do daily arise by reason of the late increase and great irregularity of Hackney Coaches and Hackney Coachmen in London, Westminster and the places thereabouts".
When will we ever learn, and stop the profiteers in their tracks? I think that "killing six people at random" counts as an Inconvenience.
