Blacks killing blacks is a social tragedy. Whites killing whites is a tragedy. Cops killing blacks/anyone must not be normalized.

FrankT = obviously another rabid anti-gun type in favor of more controlling laws that oppress law-abiding citizens AND DO NOTHING TO STOP CRIMINALS.

If really serious about stopping gun victimization, Frank would be promoting the enforcement of penalties already in existence. And calling for an end to the “catch-and-release” justice system.

How many more children have to die in auto accidents before we do something?? "auto accidents (3,913)" slightly below gun deaths. Why didn't you care about all the deaths of children from auto accidents??

Wow, the trumpettes are whining again just for the sake of of whining…instead of personal attacks and bs inferences, maybe pissing and moaning about the source would be more appropriate.

Totally childish comparison, if you are serious.

Right up there with ... "I watched the danged rifle leaning on the porch all day long and it didn't shoot anyone."

People killing innocent life for convenience is the biggest tragedy in this country.
Over 2000 per day.

Yep and most by illegal guns. Tells us how well gun laws work doesn't it?

Could you provide your source as I am unable to confirm this? If you are including laws pertaining to improper storage, there is a strong correlation between it and child injuries and deaths.

More abortion bounties? Punish the women and Uber drivers?

https://www.npr.org/2016/03/31/472456550/3-reasons-why-trumps-abortion-comments-are-dangerous-for-his-campaign

On Wednesday, Donald Trump changed his position on abortion twice in the span of three hours.

In an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Trump advocated for a society in which women would have to seek abortions through illegal avenues.

"Well, you know, you will go back to a position like they had where people will perhaps go to illegal places [to get an abortion]," he said, adding. "But you have to ban it."

When pressed by Matthews about consequences for the women seeking abortion under those circumstances, Trump advocated punishment.

MATTHEWS: Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no, as a principle?

TRUMP: The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment.

MATTHEWS: For the woman?

TRUMP: Yes, there has to be some form.

The statements immediately caused widespread controversy, outraging abortion rights opponents and advocates alike. Shortly after MSNBC released the clips, the Trump campaign backtracked, saying they weren't calling for a total ban, and that he is "pro-life with exceptions."

Then, a little more than two hours after the initial video was released, his campaign entirely reversed his controversial position. In a statement, he said that if abortion were to be illegal, "the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman. The woman is a victim in this case as is the life in her womb." Not only that, but he insisted that his position had not changed.

Gee, thanks! I’ll keep trying just for curiosity sake.

Could it be that you can’t substantiate your allegation and you’re just talking out of your hind end?

The local news where I reside reports on many shootings, sometimes several each day. I have never heard the report specify that the guns used were illegal or legal. I doubt that the reporters even know.
