We keep hearing from the Democrats how important it is for the House to provide oversight on the activities of the President.  But who provides oversight on the House?  It would be nice if the Executive branch did to the House what the Legislative branch does to the President.

Short of angry mobs, carrying torches, pitchforks and pikes, our politicians have little to no accountability.  98% of the Media is controlled and supported by one side, or vica versa, they control they Dems.  I don't see anything changing unless there is a total meltdown in society, and that's not something I or anyone should want until they start herding us into cattle cars and taking us to the FEMA camps.

Sorry I can't cut and paste from this device.  This article is mostly LIES as they are counting suicides and individual Black on Black inner city murders, not "mass shootings".  The recent "mass shooting" in California was by a 15 year old with a handgun.  California already has the strictest gun laws in the U.S. and even requires background checks for purchases of ammunition.  Yet a 15 year old already prohibited from getting a firearm did so.  He probably broke 30 existing laws.  Will more stop these nuts?

CBS like ABC, NBC, MSBNBC (NBC and MSNBC are owned by COMCAST who is financing BIDEN so they're not biased, right?) PBS, CNN, and the rest need to be HELD ACCOUNTABLE for lying to the American public to push the Democrat, Globalist anti American agenda. 

Note that some "researchers" include any shooting that occurs on school property even when school is not in session (e.g., late at night or during the summer or during the weekend)

They also capture shootings within a block of the school that are not school related, but often Gang and Drug related or are purely revenge shootings.  None involving actual students. 

Three strikes and you're out seems to be a good rule in many things in life. Three shots at the ILS and you can't get in? Bug out to better weather. Three shots at a really strong Xwind and can't set it down? Bug out to a runway more in line with the wind.

Third violent crime? You're kicked off the planet. Done.

Totally agree!  Great analogies.  Ones we can understand. 

Agreed.  I stand by my statement that it would be better for all.  But the laws and culture don't allow it so I wouldn't actually do it either.  And I would regret it.

But how often do we all cheer and applaud when someone actually does stop a mugger or rapist or home invader with a lethal gun shot or machete chop (as I read about recently).

I have no problem when police or others HAVE to put down these violent, dangerous killers and rapists when they have to.  It saves the taxpayer a lot of money and time for the trials, appeals, jail time, etc.  A lot of times the know they are going to die, or even want to die by cop.   There are some really sick monsters out there. 

I realize that I may be in the minority here, but I think deadly force is often better than letting an assailant get away.

If they are no longer a threat to me or my family, I am MORE than happy to let them get away, and allow the police to catch them.  The bottom line is to deter, and stop the threat, not be judge, jury and executioner.  YMMV. 

At close range a knife beats a gun most days.  And I'd bet on a highly trained martial arts participant over a poorly trained assailant with a knife.  Most hand weapons are only as good as the person using them.

I've taken some self defense courses as well as combat handgun courses.  As others have said the key word is training.  To be an effective knife fighter, or knife defender, you have to be willing to take cuts, sometimes REALLY bad ones.  Most are not.  The most effective way for someone to defend themselves from a person, a larger person, multiple attackers, etc. is with a gun.  Often the attacker(s) run away at the sight of a gun, which is the best outcome for all.  It also often does not get reported, unfortunately. 

And yet he’s right. One of my acquaintances is a left wing activist tranny and I was suggesting to her that being pro second amendment and carrying a firearm is one of the best ways gays (LBGTXYZ whatever) can protect themselves against violent hate attacks. Her reply was that her black belt in martial arts is what she will rely on if attacked.

*sigh*

Don't bring a black belt to a gun/knife/multiple attacker fight.  Idiots.  I bet she is anti 2A also, so wants to give up her rights as well as TAKE AWAY YOURS.
