The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Right-wing terrorist opens fire at a Dollar General store in Florida, killing three people before taking his own life.
He donned a tactical vest and was armed with a Glock pistol and an AR-15. Photos of the weapons showed swastikas painted on the rifle.

"The hate that motivated the shooter's killing spree adds an additional layer of heartbreak.
I am sickened by this cowardly shooter's personal ideology of hate." ~Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said at a press conference.

There have been more than 420 mass shootings in 2023 so far in America.

Guns have killed more than 25,000 Americans.

If you think "saying gay" or reading a book about Rosa Parks is a greater threat to children or society than unregulated gun ownership,
congratulations you are an idiot.

Guns are the leading cause of death for American children.

Jacksonville was not alone in coping with the aftermath of a mass shooting on Saturday. In Boston, seven people were shot at a parade;
in Oklahoma, five people were shot Friday night at a high school football game, and in Chicago, two people were shot at a White Sox game.

We don't have to live this way. We know the answer. It's the guns. Every other country figured it out.

If only guns were as well-regulated as Women's uteruses.
