Clearly has all the credentials for a trump endorsed republican.Lying, scamming as a part of his inherent lifestyle.

You're forgetting the financial cost to Americans of all those guns.

"The U.S. gun death rate was 10.6 per 100,000 people in 2016, the most recent year in the study, which used a somewhat different methodology from the CDC. That was far higher than in countries such as Canada (2.1 per 100,000) and Australia (1.0), as well as European nations such as France (2.7), Germany (0.9) and Spain (0.6)" Now you have the correct info.

This is the NASCAR sponsored by Daniel Defense which boasts a profit margin of 35%. Daniel Defense, the maker of the gun used in Uvalde, is accused of marketing to teens This is a recent ad targeting a younger market. If you're a republican the jump to making big bucks selling AR-15s to 18 year olds is easy.

A peccary (also javelina or skunk pig) is a medium-sized, pig-like hoofed mammal of the family Tayassuidae (New World pigs) "The last common ancestors of peccaries and other even-toed ungulates were vaguely piglike animals that lived over 50 million years ago. Peccaries evolved in Europe about 30 million years ago and spread across much of the world. In the Old World, peccaries went extinct, but they survived in North America. About three million years ago, peccaries spread into South America. They are often confused[3] with feral domestic pigs of the Old World (family Suidae), commonly known as "razorback" hogs in many parts of the United States,[4] when the two occur in the wild in similar ranges. Mayans kept herds of peccaries, using them in rituals and for food.[5] They are kept as pets in many countries, in addition to being raised on farms as a source of food.[6]"

I agree with all of that. But many Americans are prepared to separate guns from that identity.Those factors will likely make any hurdle of gun control much higher to achieve. So the carnage will continue.Until the minority compromises.

Fair enough. IMO disgruntled young males easy access to guns is the problem. AFAIK the Las Vegas shooter, a 64 YO male. Was the only outlier to the mass shooter madness.A well off mature male with a will to kill. If AR-15s were banned. The madness could continue because there is such easy access to so many weapons. The new law just passed will do nothing.

It all boils down to the power and single mindedness of the American gun psyche and lobby. When enough voters get sick of it the debate will end and the blast furnaces will get fed.Clearly they are not sick enough yet. Its the same as the climate debate. Gas prices mean more to most Americans than the climate. The debate is moving but not very fast.

Bad day at the office?

Laws for the people but not for the elected.

Agree, thats the biggest issue in this equation.

The US is relatively safe. Don't go to elementary schools, high schools, malls, etc. Don't go out at night. If you're Black get multiple Intravenous glutathione treatments BEFORE you arrive. Then always travel in the company of a White person. Get the extra travel insurance which includes the $5 million medical. Because ER visits are expensive. Rent your bullet proof vest in advance

Well four dead in that shooting so that hypothesis is DOA. Meanwhile in the good old USA over this past weekend. 13 mass shootings 16 dead and 56 wounded. Clearly the US has better gun injury trauma care than even Ukraine.

Its important to have standards when protecting royalty.

That party is coming to an end. Water reservoirs through the entire SW basin is at the verge of collapse. Drought has dropped water levels and the head of hydro power available for 15 years now. I was reading about the drought in Texas and how ranchers are selling off stock again.For the third straight year Texas will be an importer of hay. Even as herd sizes shrink. Heat and drought are decimating forage and cash crops. But at least there are lots of guns.

Is it not just scraping the bottom of the barrel for the cheapest drunk?

Thanks for that. Conservatism has morphed allot since Bill Buckley. I guess when you have to tailor your message to your audience/base.

Pay does wonders for job mobility.

Bill and olofscience are doing a bang up job of the head banging effort trying to educate a modern US conservative. Since you insist on bring up China, Russia, India and other developing countries....Oh hell.... perhaps the better educated may find this JP Morgan Asset Management 2022 Eye on the Market Energy Paper interesting. Naturally it contradicts everything you post.

Meanwhile in Russia: Russia seeks to militarize schoolchildren and censor textbooks amid war Russia: programme of ‘patriotic education’ aims to create next generation of Putin faithful IMO not unrelated or thread drift. Be it republicans or other authoritarian governments. Politicians are more and more willing to stick their noses into business that they have no business doing. Putin and republicans, both pandering to their bases. For Arizona spending money on qualified teachers is a waste of precious cash. More dumbing of America.

Well since Brent must be on a time out. Since conservative SC members don't study real business news.(Not to mean that Brent does). House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband cashed in on Big Tech just as Congress was set to pounce July 8, 2021 Alphabet stock’s big day could mean a windfall for Nancy Pelosi’s husband Feb 2, 2022 Nancy Pelosi's 'drink driver' husband Paul is blasted for buying $5m of shares in semiconductor firm days before congressional vote that could hand $52bn to chip manufacturers Jul 18th 2022

Why Afghanistan was lost, AKA are we any better than the Russians?

The urge to self investigate, cover up and lightly punish is strong. In all militaries. "Wahedullah was passed between troops from three different nations' militaries over the course of 10 hours". Here is a story on how a uninjured captive was passed from one NATO country to another. Until he was dead. -
More than a thousand rape victims, under 15 alone, a year seek abortions in the US. "In 2017, the last year for which data was available, the institute concluded there were 4,460 pregnancies among girls under 15, with about 44 percent ending in abortion. In Ohio alone, 52 girls under 15 received an abortion in 2020 — an average of one every week, according to the state Department of Health."
