Bullock: My Nephew's School Shooting Death Today Wouldn’t Make National News | The Last Word | MSNBC
Ugh, thank GOD there’s only 438 days, 11 hours and 15 minutes left until election day, November 3rd. 2020.
And, after that only 516 days, 23 hours and 15 minutes left until inauguration day, January 20th 2021.
I don’t think I could take another MINUTE longer than that lol of this madness!!
It’s difficult enough trying to count the seconds every day to that point.
TWSTF 8 Absolutely could not agree more.. We are a laughing stock, we are no longer a world leader.. When our intelligence agencies are worried about telling the president secrets because he could tell as he’s done before, that’s crazy!
Grim Reefer : Then you’d better get off the coast and out of the big city to see if it’s really 31%
Just knowing we have a new “real” president on deck will be a life saver, he’ll go right to work as trump will totally give up.
North Guy : Really ? What about all the people NOT on the coast, or NOT in a big city who just DON’T want the democrat / liberal agenda they are witnessing right now ?
@This is MAGA Country until Russia…
Vote for #Gunsense candidates and help stop the slaughter. It doesn’t have to be this way, it isn’t this way in any other developed country.
LE can’t even protect themselves from waterbaloons in this country yet you want to convince me they can protect me. Oh ok.
Australia did not have a high death count in the first place but since the removal of auto and semi auto guns the death toll has halved.
In the year the laws were changed {1993 i think} we had around 500 gun deaths in 2016 238 deaths.
Do remember tho a licence is required for all guns and the licence comes with strict police checks and takes at least 30 days just to get the licence. ABCDE licence system , A being a low end gun E being high end and handgun.
Never had handguns for anyone just because they want one and have turned 18.
Here is a link to the Victoria state police site if you want a good look , Let me know if you can’t see the site.

Voting won’t stop this. Anyone who thinks voting will fix their problems clearly has not been paying attention.
USA is a war zone and Americans wonder why billions of people boycott USA?
@Machkeznho FUN FACT; With the mass shootings in the last two years your chance of being killed in one day to day are the same as being killed in the Iraq war
Moscow Mitch, Extra fun fact that load you just spewed is only true in DemocRAT controlled urban areas with anti-Constitutional Gun Laws.
David Grover utter drivel. Murder of all sorts is highest in the good old Southern states.
Civilians do NOT need full auto weapons. At most blot/pump/lever action or revolver style guns is all civilians need.
Why does any normal, decent person need a gun at all. The Wild West is history. Do you really want to continue behaving like ignorant desperados in the 21st century?
@Michele Kett Saying that to NRA members is like telling teenagers they don’t need a smartphone.
@tele68 ok that made me spit out my drink lol
Michele Kett, Governments of these United States tried to exterminate my People and then sent 1/3rd of the Army against us. What choice you make for yourself is yours to live with.
When a future massacre is carried out with something like this Weapons as political protest, From Forgotten Weapons. https://youtu.be/sIhGCRIQnCA that works this well ronzor7
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv33pCUkLRM (Be sure to take note of where and when the news report comes from.) is built as easily as this https://youtu.be/mHAO8oxwioU or a weapon built like this, Gun control is dead.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-_ayHfaHCXQ
Or using a completely new weapon or an old one improved by modern technology. (Like something you might see on Jörg Sprave’s slingshot channel.)
Will you then be interested in growing up and doing the hard work of solving the actual problem?
Ok…as an Australian I don’t understand this NRA thing and the 2nd Amendment… it’s all about well organised state militia. Yet the NRA is a national movement with no competition. Which seems contra to the 2nd Amendment. NRA should be broken up into state sized organizations if the amendment is to be applied
@Cameron J So are you saying the NRA get all it’s supporters money and you think others should have a chance at getting that money?
@wwwaimiecapricecom What….? What are you talking about? lol
Huh? What? Huh? They are not going to break up the NRA so the brothers can come in and try to start ” vying for whatever benefits that come from lobbying for their cause – In this particular case donations(money) and political influence.” It is not Comcast you dummy. There is nothing here for you to steel, or misappropriate to your cousin. Stop looking for a hussle. Huh What What huh
Also, it does say a “well regulated militia”
Assault rifles have proven to be weapons of mass destruction. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, because that’s exactly what they were designed for. And we’ve got the body counts to prove it.
Our founding fathers did not write the 2nd amendment with assault weapons in mind. We need to ban all assualt weapons and require a license that includes a test on safety rules. Copy the process for getting a license to drive. Duplicate the license system that all police officers have to check the validity of a gun liscense. Points perhaps if violations occur. .Just a thought
Whirlwind S : Registration will NEVER fly ! As we all know, registration is the first step to confiscation. Don’t be so naive to think that couldn’t happen here.
@Gary Campbell Don’t like registration, well, lets just get rid of the guns.
Don Adams : If you have registration, that’s EXACTLY what can happen ! Why do you think people are passionately against it ?
David J, from Wikipedia; “An assault rifle is a *selective-fire rifle* (that means it must be able to fire Some variant of Full Auto and single shot Semiautomatic) that uses an *intermediate cartridge* and a *detachable magazine.”*
With out all of these characteristics it is not an assault rifle.

Bolding added for definitional clarity.
God asked America ” Do you want your children to be safe or do you want to keep your guns ” and America replied ” We’ll keep our guns ” . God asked America do you want to save the planet or save your bottom line and America replied ” Our bottom line !! ” . God asked ” Do you want to look after your sick ” and America repied ” No thanks we’re good ” .

“Everything is quiet. There is no trouble. There will be no war. I wish to return.”
Hearst sent back a note: “Please remain. You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.”
If you believe God made everything on earth, then you must accept that includes natural selection. Any living thing that has no capacity for survival in its environment, goes extinct. God obviously planned it that way.
@CarterhaughBooks I hope your being ironic . Bu the way I don’t believe in God . I was just using rhetoric .
CarterhaughBooks so if god is this whole mighty being why can’t He stop bullets
Sad but true
Governor Bullock, please run for the Senate and tun Montana 100% BLUE. And Susan Collins is not only “NOT moderate”, but rather a toxic, sociopathic lady. Let’s eliminate her from the Senate. Go Sara Gideon, Go Montana, Go Maine, Go Blue!
H C
Exactly. He should be running for the Senate and not for President.
It seemed like a great idea in the abstract : Make rich people richer, and the poor people can also pick up their crumbs.
@David J Totally agree. Who would have thunk it that Montana would go blue? I would think it would be great or Governor’s career and resume to run for the senate.
These MASS MURDERS happen because the GOP ERASED THE FIRST HALF OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT IN 2008!
The 2nd Amendment- 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.
The GOP/NRA 2nd Amendment – The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
See any difference now? The GOP erased the part about a WELL REGULATED MILITIA because that’s the part that makes clear that the 2nd Amendment was designed for the MILITARY, NOT CIVILIANS.
@This is MAGA Country Seems you missed the part about. “well regulated”. That doesn’t mean militia with no boundaries. And I think your argument about the word military as opposed to militia
has ignored the fact that the US did not have a “military” as we know it today. The US was defended by a militia at that time, of course I am using your interpretation of the words. Anyone knows that everyone who has ever served in the military is in actuality an on call militia. They can be called back into service at any time that the country needs them. So we do have a military and a standing militia.
When these amendments were written there were no weapons like these. But the founding fathers wrote into the constitution the ability to amend these to accommodate changes using the powers of the 3 branches of government. 89% of the people of this country believe in a change to availability of certain weapons to certain people. That means the majority of citizens outweigh the needs of gun manufacturers and their dark money lobby.
Cheryl Ernst I always love it when people claim they have nothing other then single shot muskets. It’s literally you just admitting you never researched into the advancements of muskets during the time of our founding fathers. We had many types showing they could fire multiple rounds per minute. But hey, what do I know?
This is MAGA Country Yeah you are the Most Asinine Gunloving Americans. You’re all f….g insane. A militia is called up in times of emergency, not every citizen. You’re insane so keep on killing each other, make the world a safer place for the rest of us.
When your raise is 5 cents an hour that doesnt help much when everything is going up so fast.
But Terry the Trump administration says that this economy is going gang busters. I envy you, I have not gotten any type of raise for 3 years, and I wasn’t making much to begin with.
So I, like you, are left wondering exactly who is winning in Trump’s America? It sure isn’t anyone I work with.
The man killed innocent iraqis.
Yes! RUN FOR SENATE!!!
GERRYMANDERING and Voter Suppression Bullock. That’s why!
Gerrymandering is an even greater threat to USA than Trump. Trump is merely transient, gerrymandering means USA has an entrenched manipulation of its so-called democracy.
Wake up USA, end the gerrymander.
Kehinde Durowade, You DemocRATs would lose almost every close election without unlawful voters, and 9 Blue house seats in California Exist solely at a result of counting Crimmigrants as lawful citizens.
I really like Gov Inslee and I really think Bullock should run for Senate!!
ღSwnsasyღ _
Bullock would make a great senator.
Those that need military style weapons are generally the same people who have never had to hold one in order to defend themselves in a foreign country. Maybe those that need to own one should put their cowardous aside and join the military.
@AllMight 99 The AR-15 is the civilian version of the M-16. The only difference is what happens when you pull the trigger. The M-16 fires continuous when engaging the trigger whereas the AR -15 only fires once per pull.
But that can be modified with the bumpstock making the two very near the same weapon. So you are not entirely correct. Funny that those that have the weapons know so little about them. Maybe you should have meaningful conversations with those people that carry these TYPE of weapons for a living. Because the AR-15 is in the category of military style assault rifle. Talk to a Viet Nam vet.
@Last Laugh And I have the last laugh. You clearly did not pass any of your English classes. Your sentences and the use of words is atrocious. And, again, if there is a need to own military style weapons and march around in camouflage, perhaps you would be missing your calling by not enlisting and making the whole thing official. Or is all that just a grown up version of playing with
GI Joe.?
Cheryl Ernst So At what point do you step off that high horse of yours and admit AR15s are just fine for civilian use. They aren’t used in crimes, hardly used by mass shooters, not powerful enough for hunting deer by many state laws.
Cheryl Ernst *Press s insted of a, clear justification for my lack of English. Lmao, kid your losing your marbles. Anti gun people are always triggered.*
@Last Laugh “Hardly used in mass murders”?? Done with you. You proved my point.
Please run for Senate Governor Bullock
We need more guns, according to NRA. My cats. dogs need guns.
Run for Senate, Steve Bullock. Be the hero.
How many years are we going to keep begging for Gun control.? this is a country for the people by the people….I don’t see it.
The real question is, “why wouldn’t we want to ban assault rifles?”
