Maybe he wasn't a model citizen but then again he never spent 9 minutes slowly suffocating a man whose hands were cuffed behind his back, so I guess its a matter of degree?
Still zero reason to memorialize a career criminal.
If they didn't want him memorialized they shouldn't have executed him in the street without a trial. :thumb:

Surprisingly low but I’ll stand by my premise. There’s a connection between the NRA and mass shootings regardless. We don’t need to see those numbers increase. We can mitigate this through addressing a variety of issues like mental health and school security. And common sense gun control measures help too. They can also allow responsible gun owners to keep their weapons by reducing the threat. The NRA does nothing to help this.
klammy presented with data...rejects data and sticks with provenly false premise. :lol:

Just like in the China Virus thread. :rofl:
I literally recognized the data….just like the Covid thread. An intellectually honest person does this. I sincerely support you in your journey toward reduction of cognitive dissonance and emotional maturity. You’ll get there some day, kid.

Using very progressive Everytown's statistics, approximately 113 people die every year in mass shootings. Just last year alone almost 25,000 people committed suicide with a firearm, and a majority of all gun deaths are by suicide.

Of the roughly 45,000 deaths caused by firearms per year 113 are from mass shootings.

Other than the obvious how are the two connected?

It's become clear that you don't know very much about the NRA. :?

The NRA is the gold standard when it comes to firearms training and gun safety.

That’s the good part.

There are other parts. Much of it I learned from Wayne LaPierre.

If Trump visited a gun range, weapons wouldn't be allowed. :lol:

That's your opinion, but saying the NRA does nothing to promote reducing threats, school safety, responsible and safe gun ownership is laughable.

You sound like Cenk Uygar. :lol:

;) I did but the irony is still rich that guns won't be allowed at the speech of a politician who supports gun rights at an event sponsored by the leading organizational supporter of gun rights.

How dare the Secret Service infringe upon people's 2nd Amendment rights? I wish Trump had enough of a spine to stand up to them. :coffee:

Yeah, Floyd was weongly killed/murdered by the police, but that doesn’t change the fact that Floyd was a low life with a rap sheet a mile long, who once did a home invasion and stuck a pistol in the belly of a woman. What kind of sick people would memorialize a guy like that?

I believe that the NRA convention has always been a gun-free zone at least on the main floor, n'est pas? Otherwise libtards would have too much fun with firecrackers

A couple of random posts that should resonate with all…
“@I don't even want to think that. However, it is unsettling how long the delay was in getting the shooter taken down. I am a retired school nurse, and this scenario was my nightmare for many years. Should I hide so could be available for wound care after shooter is contained, or as an older adult, should I rush in to defend the kids? Every school employee deals with this every day.”

Of course not.

We are undated with protect and serve thin blue line stuff all of the time. They are not above criticism in light of the well publicized back apples. And those are the ones we hear about.
