I saw a post pop up on some click bait where Serena Williams saying she was praying for Armageddon to come and that the JWs have said we are living in critical times hard to deal with.This was her response to the Texas School shooting. Another cult catch phrase. I am sorry Williams you aint no JW. I am not sure you ever were. You don't even close live your life the way JWs are expected to live. The cult GB give people like her a pass for two reasons, Money and the shock it would cause non JWs looking on and it would cull and curb some of their converts. Lets be honest she does not even close live like a JW. From Wacko Jacko to others who would say they were JWs but not live the life at all or even close to what the JWs believe is a special kind of stupid.

The biggest elephant in the room is the decline of western civilization. There were AR15s around in the 60s for Civilians to buy. People in my area would carry rifles and shot guns in the back window of the truck. Schools and colleges allowed them. There were very few shootings. The only one that I can remember is the Austin tower shooting. The shooter a former Marine left a note to have his head autopsied and it was found he had a brain tumor.
But our culture as of late the past 25 years or a bit more has went down a road of allowing more and more things that would have been never allowed 30 or so years ago. Pron and I mean hard core porn is so easy for anyone to get more than you could have bought if you had 100 thousand dollars in the 70s to blow on it. No pun int.
Glorification of gangsters and thug life and also misogynistic objectification of women. But now its blacks that do it in the so called music style Rap. Spreading and teaching children to have Gender Dysphoria. Teaching children as young as 1 they can be men or women and transgender bla bla bla. Even going so far to inject a child with puberty blockers. This has unknown consequences. But I doubt its good. We live in a world where the left degrades work and work ethic. Now its just great to sit on a couch and eat your way to 600 pounds and expect the tax payers through the state to support you again no pun int.
Teaching children that the USA is an evil place going so far as to change history to fit their narrative as in the BLM movement.
Teaching Black kids they will most likely not succeed because they are black and don't have the ability to over come this systemic racism which is a total lie.
Teaching white kids they are privileged even if they live as poor as any black because we all know that when no blacks or browns are around whites hand out money to each other. LMAO
That all whites are evil and need to pay blacks for something that happened to someone who died 160 years ago by someone who died 160 years ago.

Another thing the left covers up. It was not all that long ago like yesterday they were crying to de-fund the police. This was a train wreck of an idea right out of the gate. The left has never learned play stupid games win stupid prizes.

To me I want nothing of this cult left in my life. This is why I guess its so offensive to me. Not saying in any way someone can not use it. But if you left this group why would you keep some of its catch phrases? I know the term catch phrase is a group of words but in JW speak one word catch phrases exist. I see that one lady on YouTube who opens Hello Friends. I cringe when I hear this. Anyone else or is it just my crazy mind?

Obama is just an opportunist and will use any tragedy to further his agenda and stay relevant. He is most certainly a POS. Sad he was ever president.

John Lott interview about gun crime.
A1F Daily: Last year, President Barack Obama claimed, “We are the only advanced country on Earth that sees this kind of mass violence erupt with this kind of frequency.” And that has become kind of a rallying cry among anti-gun advocates. What does your research show?
John Lott: It is completely false. And Obama repeated this claim many times. For example, last year he flatly claimed: “It doesn’t happen in other advanced countries. It’s not even close.”
To gun control advocates, if the U.S. would only adopt the types of gun control laws that exist in other countries, this problem would supposedly go away. Hillary Clinton made this explicit when she said mass public shootings “are rooted in the much too readily available weapons of mass killings, usually assault weapons.”
However, in just 2015, France—a country with one-fifth the population of the United States—had more casualties from mass public shootings than the U.S. had during the entire eight years of the Obama presidency (532 versus 527). And, of course, mass public shootings in France have occurred regularly over the years. All the weapons used in the 2015 France attacks were already illegal. The eight who attacked various sites in Paris in November 2015 were armed with automatic AK-47s and explosive suicide belts. The February 2015 Copenhagen attack was carried out with an automatic M95 assault rifle. In the January 2015 attack on Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket in Paris, the terrorists were armed with automatic Kalashnikov rifles, a loaded M42 rocket launcher, semi-automatic handguns, smoke grenades, Molotov cocktails, a hand grenade and sticks of dynamite.
Mass public shootings are defined as four or more people killed in a public place, and not in the course of committing another crime, and not involving struggles over sovereignty. Using the traditional FBI definition, the EU and the U.S. each experienced 25 mass shootings during the first seven years of Obama’s presidency (January 2009 to December 2015).
The rate at which people were killed was virtually the same: 0.083 per million people in the EU versus 0.089 per million people in the U.S. But the injury rate in the EU was more than twice as high: 0.19 versus 0.087. The cases are listed in my book, The War on Guns, so people can check each case themselves.
If you compare the U.S. to individual countries in Europe over the same period, the U.S. had the 11th highest fatality rate. Because of Anders Breivik’s 2011 attack at a summer camp, Norway had the top spot—1.9 per million people per year. This rate was 21 times higher than that of the U.S. But other advanced countries such as France, Switzerland, Finland, Belgium and the Czech Republic also came in above the U.S.
Looking only at the frequency of attacks—as Obama seems wont to do—while still adjusting for population, the U.S. came in 12th, with 0.078 per million people.
Compared to the rest of the world, moreover, the U.S. and Europe are quite safe from mass public shootings. In Russia and elsewhere, struggles over sovereignty have led to a large number of devastating attacks. For instance, the 2004 Beslan school siege—carried out in the name of Chechen independence—claimed 385 lives.
Since 1970, all but one of the 20 worst mass public shootings and 45 of the worst 50 cases occurred outside the United States. Again, I list the cases in my book so people can check all the cases up through March 2016.
A1F: Do you think those who oppose gun ownership know these facts, or are they simply misled?
Lott: Several things are happening here. Part of the problem is the media simply don’t give the same coverage to most mass public shootings in Europe that they give to attacks in the U.S. Part of it is also that people don’t adjust for population differences across countries. You can’t compare the U.S. with more than 320 million people with other countries that may only have 4 million or 8 million people. As just noted, even France has only a fifth of the U.S. population.
Unfortunately, there is a third problem. There has been clear fraud and complete incompetence in this area. The study that has gotten the most media coverage is by Adam Lankford. He reportedly covers the years 1966 to 2012 and claims: “Despite [the U.S.] having less than 5 percent of the global population, it had 31 percent of global public mass shooters.”
His claims got uncritical coverage in the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Associated Press, “PBS Newshour,” NPR, “ABC Evening News,” Fox News, and many hundreds of other outlets. In fact, many prominent outlets have covered the claim repeatedly. It has even received coverage in countries like Australia, Argentina, Armenia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, India, Iran, Mexico, Peru, Sweden, Turkey, UK, Vietnam and Cuba.
But when Lankford’s study got massive uncritical media attention he only shared the paper with reporters, and he required that they didn’t share it with researchers. Despite the wide publicity given to his findings, he repeatedly turned down my requests to see his paper. On Dec. 1, 2015, the Washington Post’s Michelle Lee wrote me: “I do have a copy but [Lankford] asked that I not distribute it or post it online before it's formally published. You can contact him and request, maybe now that his study is being discussed he might be more open to share?” But I contacted Lankford both before and after Lee’s email—he declined to provide either the paper or his data.
I finally obtained a copy of Lankford’s paper when it was published at the end of January 2016 —more than five months after it originally started getting news attention. Incredibly, even after his paper was published Lankford still refused to let me look at his list of mass public shootings from other countries. All I wanted was a list similar to what I have provided in my book.
At first, I simply hoped that Lankford had discovered some previously unknown way of collecting these cases. But his paper provides very little specific information, not even telling us the number of shootings in more than four foreign countries. No breakdown is provided by continent. It is hard to believe that Lankford even has such information, but there is no way of checking his data and seeing what cases he has missed.
People shouldn’t trust a researcher who refuses to share even the most basic information behind his research. The fact that he is unwilling to let anyone check his work shows a bad conscience.
A1F: How much affect does it have on the debate when someone like Obama makes such a statement and the media don’t even check to see if it is true?
Lott: For the president of the United States to keep repeating this claim over and over again in public—and for the media to give massive coverage reporting Adam Lankford’s work without interviewing any critics of it—these things surely have an impact on the debate. I frequently hear reporters and legislators repeat these claims. I have a list of mass public shootings in other countries with strict gun control available so that those advocating gun control can check the cases themselves and see how many are occurring around the rest of the world.
A1F: What do you think is the most important thing people should understand about this topic?
Lott: The most important thing is how these mass public shooters pick targets where they know that victims can’t defend themselves. Over 98 percent of the mass public shootings in the U.S. since at least 1950 have occurred in “gun-free zones,” places where general citizens aren’t allowed to defend themselves. All the mass public shootings in Europe and Canada have occurred in these gun-free zones.
It is hard to ignore the explicit statements made by these killers when they have explained why they have picked the targets that they have. These killers pick places where people won’t have guns to protect themselves and others.Last year, a young ISIS sympathizer planned a shooting at one of the largest churches in Detroit. An FBI wire recorded him explaining why he had targeted the church: “It’s easy, and a lot of people go there. Plus people are not allowed to carry guns in church. Plus it would make the news.” Fortunately, that ISIS sympathizer ended up being only a would-be shooter. But, during the last couple of years, shooters have made similar statements after attacking a church in Charleston, S.C., a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., and a sorority house in Santa Barbara, Calif.
Police are extremely important in stopping crime, but they have an extremely difficult time stopping terrorist attacks. A uniformed officer might as well be wearing a neon sign saying, “Shoot me first.” But with concealed permit holders possibly being present, terrorists have a much more difficult job when they reveal themselves. Consequently, police officers can breath easier.
A1F: Given these facts, what do you think is the most important thing people should do?
Lott: People need to make sure that they are informed. Getting rid of gun-free zones is extremely important. I would argue that it is the most important legislation to get passed as quickly as possible. Whether it is gun-free zones on college campuses or government buildings, gun control advocates claim disasters will occur if people are allowed to carry concealed handguns. But gun control advocates greatest fear is that these gun-free zones actually will be eliminated and people will find out that the gun control advocates’ claims never happen.

Well we have a lot of crime here that is perpetrated by blacks on blacks. Chicago, Detroit, LA, and most other liberal cities its out of control. Why is it blacks are 10 to 13 percent of the population but commit 40 percent of the crime? Is it that they glorify crime and gangsta life?

First off we can stop spending money on woke nonsense and puberty blockers and Gender studies and spend it on something useful. Like hardening schools and the like. Windows that are bullet resistant with wire so they can not be shot out to gain entry. Armed guards and magnetometers at the entrance. Double doors so once someone comes in the first they are trapped between doors if someone sees they are a threat. No one enters or leaves the school while its running without going through this system. Heck I take a cruise and I have to go through this every time I leave the ship and come back on board.
Stop acting like putting up gun free zone signs is anything more than and avert for where to go and shoot up the place. Stop using gun control and shooting to push political agendas. There is a reason most shootings do not happen in police dept. or places where its known the people are armed. To live in a free society there will always have to be risk. Heck someone with a big truck like in London and in the USA where the racist black man ran over whites can ram into people and kill many, we don't ban trucks.
Gun control is not about stopping killings. The left nuts in England don't give a rat about radical Muslims killing its citizens by bombs, cars and trucks, or Machetes knives or hammers. They just wanted to control the people. England has become a land of lemmings and spinless idiots.
Islam wants the death of western civilization for the most part. But I don't hear the left saying we should limit how many come into these nations as they are the ones cutting off heads, and bombing and killing people who do not subscribe to their way of religious thinking. So its not really about saving lives it about control.
The left even wants now to control free speech. If its not the kind of speech that agrees with their point of view its should be banned as radical, hate speech or dangerous speech. The left press covers up when the shooter was a Bernie Saunders supporter and shooting at Republicans. In fact many radical leftists were saying this was a good thing. The left covered up or did very little reporting when a racist black man ran over a bunch of white people at a gathering. But then lie about what Trump said at Charlottesville.
When I was in school in the late 60s and 70s, people had guns in the back of the truck window parked at the school. Schools had guns. In college people who were ROTC would carry a rifle around on Campus. But there was little of this insane stuff going on. Why is that? Because the left has degraded our culture. Pushing transgender as normal, that you don't need a father to help raise the child, that two moms are a good thing, that black culture is not full of violence, misogynistic and glorifies hood rats and gang bangers. That violent video games and seeing at the click of a button any kind of rape, murder or violence as much as you want on the internet. Lets be clear, culture has taken a radical downward spiral over the last 40 years.
There are reasons for the things we see today and most have little to do with the availability of guns.

Assault weapon is a term that is almost always misused. The term came from the StG-44. At the tail end of WW2 the Germans started to get that most fire fights were less than 300 meters and they did not really need the K98 capable of long range accuracy. So they create the StG44.
It was a short 8mm Mauser round and was capable of semi or full auto fire. So in reality assault weapons or weapons of the military are not readily sold in the USA. If the state does not ban it you can buy a full auto. But its a lot of steps to get one. First you have to buy one, but that does not get the gun in hand. After you buy one from a class 3 dealer they do a lot of paper work and if you don't have a gun trust you need to have the sheriff of your county sign off that you are not insane or a known criminal.
Then the ATF and FBI do a long back ground check and this all takes between 6 months and a year. Once you pass that you get the gun, suppressor SBSG or other NFA item. So assault weapon is a word that the left has taken and redefined it to mean any gun they don't like, which is all guns.
I have seen this over the years how the left just will demonize a gun. If its semi auto its an assault weapon, if its a bolt action and or has a scope or optics on it its a sniper rifle. Anything they can do to try to push an agenda. The left does not care one bit about those kids shot in Texas, they are just not letting a crisis go to waste so they can push an agenda. That is the complete disarming of America.
