Been a sushi chef for 23 years and love sharpening blades. That spear could shave your face, or remove it completely. Took a while to sharpen. Profiled with 1000 grit, and polished at 4000 to 8000 grit. It's mirror polished haha.

Every time. Better my family is safe and sound, than me being sorry i didnt bring my firearm with me. Do i take my ar? AK? no. i bring my 9mm Glock for self preservation, and the preservation of my family.

In todays society, you NEVER KNOW. Protect yourself, no body else is going to... nor do they have to.

I’m just gonna toss this question out there. Why?, because I hear the “ criminal “ argument all the time. It is the go to bumper sticker saying. When was the last time a criminal committed a mass shooting? The answer is extraordinarily rarely, a negligible percentage that one could say with confidence, - none. They have all been law abiding citizens that have either legally purchased, or borrowed a legally purchased weapon from parents or friends. It took nearly 20 years to get “tommy” guns off the streets after they were made illegal. First steps need to be taken, one step at a time.

Educate yourself. Most mass shootings are committed by a certain sub-set of hood rats.

Not really true. At all.

Two-Thirds of Mass Shootings Linked to Domestic Violence

1. DV-related — at least one victim of a mass shooting was a dating partner or family member of the perpetrator;
2. History of DV — the perpetrator had a history of DV, but the mass shooting was not directed toward partners or family members; or
3. Non-DV-related — the victims were not partners or family members, and the perpetrator did not have any mentions of a history of DV.

The analysis concludes that:

1. 59.1% (65 of the 110 total shootings) were DV-related;
2. 9.1% (10 of the 110 total mass shootings) were perpetrated by an individual with a history of DV;
3. 68.2% (75 of the 110 total shootings) were either DV or history of DV-related and;
4. 31.8% (35 of the 110 mass shootings) were non-DV-related.

The case fatality rate (CFR) for the four categories were as follows:

1. 83.7%: DV-related
2. 53.8%: history of DV
3. 63.1%: non-DV-related
4. 73.7%: hybrid DV category (DV and history of DV combined)


And i am not sure what the "hood rat" comment was supposed to mean but:

Between 1982 and December 2023, 80 out of the 149 mass shootings in the United States were carried out by White shooters. By comparison, the perpetrator was African American in 26 mass shootings, and Latino in 12. When calculated as percentages, this amounts to 54 percent, 17 percent, and eight percent respectively.

You're kind of indirectly proving his point, though - that the majority of shooters are in fact criminals.

Criminals involved in domestic violence, as it turns out.

The stats about the race of the perpetrators probably don't mean much of anything if you consider them alongside the demographic breakdown of the US population.

having a record of domestic violence is an immeditae disqualifier of owning a firearm. therefore almost all mass shooting, as your post would indicate, are illegal owners of firearms.

How about this. I'll take my chances with mass shootings over giving up my 2A gun rights.
Full stop.

The numbers are all over the place. One organization considers any shooting INVOLVING more than 3 people to be a mass shooting, and "involving" is really used loosely. Oh, you shot yourself in the leg while cleaning your gun because you made poor firearm handling decisions and your family happened to be in the house? Mass shooting. That kind of deal.
