Kyle Rittenhouse trial

Note they are for fire and environmental safety, or outside issues to keep them safely indoors.

The USA training is specifically for an active school shooter to blockade individual classrooms, hide students and get them out via windows etc.

Last I checked Confirming the effectiveness of brands of BULLERPROOF backpacks for EIGHT YEAR OLDS were not part of back to school sales in Canada. Please don't lie and even try to equate the two.

20 Kindergarteners age 6 were shot and killed and the USA chose to side with gun owners. You have chosen violence over sanity.

wrong you do NOT lock down a school and hold everyone inside for fire.. I'm glad your not in charge of schools

So the US ranks in the top 10 countries with the highest rate of gun deaths, right along side Honduras and Guatemala and yet the difference is that gun ownership is a legal second amendment right, whereas in Guatemala and Honduras it isn't.

Still same argument. Same gun nut.

Large corporations aim to offend the fewest people possible. It's simply good business. It's not "Marxism" when Ford puts a mixed Black-Asian couple in one of their ads. It's a business decision. If you can't see that or understand it, then you've got some serious intellectual processing problems.

Ditto MLB takes the All-Star game from Atlanta and gives it to Denver. It's a PR decision to boost the product's acceptance in the domestic market.

These organizations have nothing to do with the far less than 1% who support nihilistic political philosophies.

Some of what you said is true. However, large U.S. corporations are literally hounded by different activist groups to do this and that. It might or not be good business, but they just want to try to appease and make these people go away.

I don't think MLB benefited (nor was hurt) from a business perspective for their decision to move the All-Star game.

Most gun deaths from legally owned guns I wager.

stats dont say if legal or not considering murder is a crime im going to say most are illegal

 

[Leimonis]

I am saying HE WAS ASKING FOR IT.

what kind of an argument is that? A woman in a short skirt walking in a bad neighborhood is also asking for it. So?

its 10k deaths not counting suicide

south korea suicide rate is 25.7per 100,000 very hard to own a gun there...

us suicide rate us 13.42 per 100,000

not counting suicides the us is not even on the list of top 10 violent gun crime deaths

Countries with the Highest Rates of Violent Gun Death (Homicides) per 100k residents in 2019

1. El Salvador (36.78)
2. Venezuela (33.27)
3. Guatemala (29.06)
4. Colombia (26.36)
5. Brazil (21.93)
6. Bahamas (21.52)
7. Honduras (20.15)
8. U.S. Virgin Islands (19.40)
9. Puerto Rico (18.14)
10. Mexico (16.41)

Gun Deaths By Country 2021 (worldpopulationreview.com)

There is the obvious point that all those countries listed are third world countries and most of them are subject to narco gang violence.

The same people who will point to Central America as being far more violent than the US will also decry any attempt by people from those countries to claim refugee status in the USA, of course.

But again essentially PR. Possibly not directly sales-related as opposed to "good corporate citizen" related.

Our friend BBW seems to believe that the folks at Ford or Microsoft make decisions on the same basis as antifa street demo people in Portland.

Academia for one. Some of my leftist professors back in the day spoke highly of the radical groups of that era. This attitude is likely more prevalent on campus.

What do you think happened with the initial media coverage of the Seattle free zone? What about the civic leaders of Seattle?

Of course, not every liberal institution romanticizes the radical left in the same degrees. The radical left is part of the liberal base. Just some sympathy for the radical left and antipathy for capitalist institutions is all that is needed to color one's view.

You think Academia is the "liberal establishment"?

You can find academics who will say any nonsense going, as long as it's sort of anti establishment-y. Oracle actually once found an academic who claimed that calling dogs and other animals by gender terms was "sexist". No one takes that crap seriously once you leave campus.

And no, the radical left is NOT part of the "liberal base" - whatever the fuck that's supposed to be. You think those antifa people in Seattle troop out to vote for Biden or the Dem candidate for congress?.... Seriously? They're more likely to call them "sell out traitors".

If your position is that nice Dem voting, educated folks somehow have anything in common with antifa, I just shake my head.

And.....

You just proved my point. You would rather normalize school shootings, than give up your guns. That you think schools should HAVE to prepare regularly for school shootings, rather than remove the means to commit them. That you think sharing tips on them rather than trying to prevent them is the way to go.

That you think there is anything resembling a market for Bulletproof in Canada.

Dude. You are completely clueless that the rest of the Western World doesn't have to worry about these things as a daily concern.

That you would gloss over 20 6 year olds dying as just another day in the USA.

You really don't understand how insane it is do you? What is it? Fear of your own Government? Fear of people that Don't look like you? What causes your daily paranoia?

Dude. The vast majority of guns, especially due to lax laws, gun show loophole etc are legally owned in the USA. And pretty much all the mass shootings are done by legal gun owners. You have those in multiples per day now.

Between mass shootings, and domestic killings, a good portion are legal. But the press doesnt even repirt on the former, unless its another record breaker, or an incredibly slow news day.

Because its normalized there. You actually think its a normal way to live.

I don’t fear anything I’m not paranoid about anything what I am annoyed about is people like you who think they know everything about guns telling gun owners what they should and should have what they should and should not do why don’t you worry about yourself and worry less about what others are doing I also didn’t see anything on the news about 2o 6 year-olds dying today

The provocation was already initiated. Running away was the obvious reaction to being chased. Why was he being chased? because he was swaggering around with a gun. Kind of like waving a red flag at a bull.

Anyone who chases a person holding an AR-15 is too stupid to stay above ground for long.

Your posts show
you know absolutely nothing about gun laws and guns at all there is no gun show loophole nice try go back to watching NBC mass shootings there are very few and almost none of the gun deaths are caused by mass shootings

And they are not multiple mass shootings per day each day most are done by people who are not legally allowed to possess a firearm which would make them in illegal possession of said firearm

Yes you are paranoid. Because you think you need to carry a gun on a daily basis to protect yourself. Thats abnormal behavior in what is supposed to be a civilized society.

And there is no other reason for open carry laws than irrational fear.

Yes there are. There are numerous sites that track them with the common definition of 4 people shot in a single incident. And the consistant numbers are at more than one per day.

Its normalized. There are nations that go years without a single one. I go to Florida and I see fat old men in restaurants carrying guns at their hip. In Kissimmee, down the road from Disneyland.

Do you understand that this just doesn't happen in any other Western nation? That you USA just doesn't value life compared to other nations, that you value property more?
