Oh? How is that germane to how the Uvalde police responded?

Not sure what that means.
Do you disagree that when there are more of a thing in a society, you're more likely to encounter it?

I agree. And common-sense gun reform would float all boats.

It's good but I think they peaked at NS. And UH's got Come On, which is one fuck of a closer

Because they were facing military-style weaponry, which is my point
For all the "good guys with a gun" rhetoric you folks spout, they seem to disappear mighty fast when faced with a bad guy with a semi-auto

I'd say Vs or even Vitalogy are better all-around albums

It's got good tracks, but their debut is a goddamn greatest-hits collection.

A lot of these yes, but not Elvis (This Year's Model would take the prize for me) or the Furs (Talk Talk Talk or Mirror Moves)
dogsledonice t1_jed8yi6 wrote
Lots from the early punk/postpunk era:
I'd say B-52s, Devo, Gang of Four, (English) Beat, Specials, Madness, Sex Pistols, Television, Pretenders, UB40 and the Cars
Also Tracy Chapman and Stone Roses

Also Meatloaf (that Stoney one doesn't count)

You think Storm in Heaven is better than Northern Soul or Urban Hymns? Love them all but Storm is third-best of those IMO

I mean, use whatever stats you want to imply what you want to imply.
"Gun deaths" will include suicides, of which there are very many. Does anyone use an AR for that? No. Do they use ARs in slaughtering innocents in schools, churches, malls, concerts, bars, etc.? Yep. And both figures are grotesquely high *when compared to any similar country* other that the U.S.

To be more accurate, *mass shootings* went down, then back up.

Because rifles are increasingly used for mass attacks - 4 out of 5 of the worst mass shootings in the US involved rifles, including the worst (Las Vegas). Sandy Hook, Orlando. That kind of firepower is more difficult to counter - look at Uvalde. Or, again, Vegas -- not so easy to rack up huge casualty numbers with handguns (which are more common, so yeah - they're used more often).

Guns are magical. No laws can affect them, nothing can take them away, they're sent by Jesus.

And, miraculously, gun deaths went down, until they were unbanned.
