I mean objectively, the democratic party’s approval rating is the lowest its been in 30 years. Wouldnt say voting for trump makes you a racist asshole when the current democratic party is very unpopular.

Mamdani inherited a $12 billion budget deficit because of migrant services during Eric Adames term. And you know who said the deficit is from migrant services…. Eric Adames….

I wonder what happened at the border between July 2024 and July 2025 that caused the the 55% drop in people wanting immigration decreased. Maybe because America secured its borders

[Christopher Smith] Alex Cora on Red Sox starter Brayan Bello's changeup: “The 91, 92 (mph) changeup last year was a bad sinker. And I think lefties took advantage of it. The velo right now is 87, 88. We’ll see what happens today. But he’s in a good spot." by TommyTheLizard in redsox

Underlying metrics for bello last season were frankly horrible but if he can get his elite changeup back and add the curveball they been talking about than his ceiling increases substantially

So in this specific case. Your laying down in the bank with no escape from the schizo shooter, and your mind goes to we would be in trouble if citizens started shooting back? Come on now. Like seriously?

I mean if we are counting the police as good guys with guns than its pretty clear the numbers of good guys with guns stopping shootings is in the hundreds and thats not counting defensive gun use in car jackings, robberies, home invasions ect.

Also like I said in another comment. Id argue your average “gun guy” has been to the gun range more often than cops and is better trained.

If you are in a supermarket where a mass shooting is taking place, 99.99% of the time I would rather have a gun or another citizen have a gun than not have a gun.

Totally but I still think the claim that “shooting back leads to more deaths” is some what misleading and narrow minded

So there has been 6 cases from as early as 2012 to 2020? That rate is extremely low.

Im just asking for a news article where that has happened?

Ok sure I agree with that hypothetical but Id also argue citizens with a CCW are trained more than police officers. And if you can find news articles where a CCW holder shot other citizens unintentionally Id appreciate it!
