Guns are no more accessable now than they were in 1950 or 2000 yet there are so many more mass shootings. Maybe the issue is not with the guns but with the fact that regular people would even consider doing something as awful as this.

Second Amendment to the United States Constitution – "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Fundamentally what created our country was our ability as a people to rise against the government as they become tyrannical in nature.
The Second Amendment IS the voice of the people, with no Second Amendment there is no First. Without even considering the empirical data, and self defense arguments which have merit of their own, it allows the people the option of non-compliance to Government which without, is forfeit. I'm going to take a shot in the dark and imagine that Hong Kong's protests don't favor the protestors having to fight back against THEIR tyrannical government with archery equipment. If you disagree with Government or Politics, the 2nd Amendment is the right of the PEOPLE. I may have been born in Korea, but I was raised American, Protect the FREE PEOPLE

Anthony Polito was a tenured professor at East Carolina University (ECU) when he retired in 2017. Polito identified as “semi-retired” on his LinkedIn page. He reportedly applied for a job at UNLV but was rejected for unknown reasons. The rejection may or may not have been the motivation behind the shooting, but that isn’t known as of the writing of this article. However, events like this being carried out by people of an advanced age, especially for no reason at all, are extremely rare.

When your goal is suicide by police, why involve innocent bystanders?

I'm not subscribing to any youtube channel until those of you who make money off this platform start complaining to youtube about shadow banning. This is a violation of our first amendment rights, but apparently you people are fine with doing this as long as you make money. Are you fine with losing income? Because I'm writing the people who want us to buy their stuff, and telling them why, I will never buy their products. This is the same thing Trump does on his Truth Central website, where the only thing you get to hear is what Trump wants you to hear; it's fachistism! I'm shadowed banned right now, and, I don't even know why, because these cowards at youtube won't tell you why, because it's probably BS, and at the same time Youtube is trying to get me to buy their premium service. Say what, and I thought Trump supporters were stupid. It's time to fight back people! All everything anyone in this country cares about today is money!
