If I am not mistaken some Democrats go to church and also pray. And? Democrats want gun reform, instead of just offering useless thought and prayers.

#69 is close to home. 6 people shot, killed in series of shootings in Mississippi; suspect in custodySix people are dead in Tate County, Mississippi, after a series of shootings on Friday, according to reporting from CNN affiliate WMC. The shootings all happened within the Arkabutla community, Tate County Sheriff Brad Lance told WMC. One shooting incident occurred inside a store on Arkabutla Road where a man was shot and killed. A woman was also killed inside a home on Arkabutla Dam Road. Her husband was injured during the incident, but it’s unclear if he was shot. Tate County deputies spotted the suspect inside a vehicle on Arkabutla Dam Road and he was taken into custody without incident, according to WMC. The suspect’s identity has not been revealed. After the arrest, deputies found four more people who had been killed. Two were found inside a home and two outside, also on Arkabutla Dam Road. Tate County is in northwest Mississippi, about 30 minutes south of Memphis, Tennessee. Martin Bailey with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations tells CNN they are assisting in the investigation. CNN has reached out to Tate County Sheriff’s Office, and Mississippi state police for information. 6 people shot, killed in series of shootings in Mississippi; suspect in custody

this thread may become a heavyweight on this board, given that we have 10 mass shootings a week.

I can just about see the argument for defence of yourself and your property (until the police arrive)..... assuming you are somewhere remote and a malevolent SOB, or Grizzly bear, is about to kill you and your kids.
but... 200 shots is for a War Zone.... for when under sustained attack by an relentless enemy.. and in the same category as helicopter gunships and cruise missiles.
or .... for a screwed up, hormonal misfit....... who just wants other people to suffer.

#122,493? I've lost count. It was busy.last night here in Memphis. Memphis shooting leaves 11 victims, suspect remains at large: police
Memphis police say 11 total victims were found after gunfire erupted at and around a nightclub early Sunday. One person was found dead, while another five people were in critical condition, police said. The gunfire stretched to two separate but nearby scenes, which investigators believe to be connected. Police also say there is no solid description of the suspect or suspects, and it’s unclear if the suspect or suspects are known to the victims. It’s also unclear what occurred prior to the shootings At 12:43 a.m., officers responded to a shooting at 1482 East Shelby Drive, the address of Live Lounge. Upon arrival, two shooting victims were located and transported to Regional One Hospital in critical condition, the Memphis Police Department said in a preliminary update on Twitter. Five additional shooting victims left the scene and arrived by private vehicle in "non-critical condition" at local area hospitals, police said. While on scene at 1492 East Shelby Drive, officers received information concerning additional shooting victims who were at Shelby Drive and Boeingshire Drive. Upon arrival to the second scene, police say one male victim was located and pronounced deceased. Three additional victims were transported in critical condition to Regional One Hospital.

And this past Friday night: Nine children shot outside Columbus, Ga. gas stationATLANTA — Nine children under the age of 18 were shot outside a gas station in Columbus, Georgia, according to police. This all happened Friday night around 10:11 p.m. Columbus Police said they were called to a Shell Gas Station on Warm Springs Road. The ages of the victims included: One 5-year-old One 12-year-old Three 13-year-olds One 14-year-old Two 15-year-olds One 17-year-old All of the victims are boys, except for two of the 13-year-olds, and all have non-life threatening injuries, according to police. "The rash of gun violence involving our youth is impacting communities across the country. While Columbus is not immune to these incidents, I want to assure citizens that the men and women of CPD are tirelessly working to get violent offenders off our streets," the city's police chief, Freddie Blackmon said. "It is going to take a community effort to combat gun violence in our city. The entire village has a responsibility because incidents like this impact all of us." Authorities said in a release that no arrests have been made at this time. In a press conference Saturday, Blackmon noted that police believe the incident began as an "altercation" at a nearby party that bled over to the gas station. He also noted the 5-year-old victim was not part of the group but rather a bystander at the gas station with with family. Mayor Skip Henderson also spoke at the conference, calling the incident "horrific and troubling," adding "I just get tired of seeing folks when they have a disagreement or an argument, or even a fist-fight, they think they have to reach for a gun and go to deadly force."

By March 4th we’re up to 94 mass shooting this year.
On the CBS today show this morning, they had a segment on people trying to pass a new law that would allow people to voluntarily put THEMSELVES on a gun ban list, so they wouldn’t be able to purchase a gun. Since 60 - 65 percent of gun deaths every year are due to suicide, and since suicidal people tend to fixate on how they will commit suicide (jumping off a particular bridge, shooting themselves with a gun, throwing themselves in front of a subway train) wouldn’t it make sense to let someone do this?
If someone knows they fixate on shooting themselves, and know that they have periods of time when they have fantasies about doing that, why not let them put themselves on a list that prevents them from getting them?
Apparently, even that would be ‘gun grabbing.’
