2017 Trump Presidency Thread

Not open for further replies.
I told my dad the same thing as ryan01 as a joke he didn't think it was funny.

I wouldn't be surprised it is always straight to "take the guns" I think someone would have whistleblown that one though.
Meanwhile, they still want to supply guns to terrorists :\

What do you think these figures mean? Are you implying that the Obama government played a role???

But no, its got nothing to do with the heavily armed populace, right? :\
We've always had a heavily armed populace, doesn't make sense that gun massacres would increase so sharply immediately after barry gets elected.

Or he believes what he reads on Infowars lol
Did you just assume my gender?
 
Don't you think it's a little weird that so many gun massacres occurred during obama's presidency? 162 shootings in which 4 or more people were killed (not including perp) That is more than double the last 4 presidents combined, a 700% increase

as much as I dislike the subject, a quick fact check will show that there were 33 mass shootings under president obama and 19 under president gw bush. this increase could be caused by any number of reasons, including mental health, escalated access to firearms due to president bush's association with the NRA during his term, politically disgruntled and racist gun owners, variation in the nature of foreign conflicts and domestic opinions, etc. i've read the source of your figures - a conspiracy-theorist driven, anti-science, non-factual internet site. so it turns out that you are the sheeple baaaaaa

Australia only had one mass murder rampage before the govt cracked down on gun ownership, risking pissing off the public to actually help prevent future incidents.

John Howard was a bit of a dickhead but that was one thing he got right. I dont think anyone actually believes the US will do the same so I dont see why anyone bothers keeping those stats given nothing has actually been done anout it. :|

what’s your definition?
4 or more deaths not including the shooter
I'll be open to more gun control once we stop arming terrorists and funding civil wars :)
 
i'm frequently told that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. you seem to be arguing that's not true?

alasdair


Well since the mass shootings I posted were 3 or more deaths, should there not be more than in your data? What are the other mass shootings in your case?
I actually just noticed that some of those shootings you list under GWB actually happened after Obama took office
 
you seem to want your cake and eat it.

in other news, trump - who endlessly criticized obama for traveling and the associated cost to the taxpayer - is on track to spend as much as obama did in 8 years in his first year. more lies, hypocrisy and bullshit.

What's your position on how American police conduct themselves?

Not all cops shoot unarmed kids 16 times but....
