Homicide in Portland is hardly news worthy these days.
Take the guns away. All of em. Watch what happens…people live. There’s never too many graves. The god that gives always takes away.
As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse.
America will NEVER be dump enough to give up the 2nd amendment.
If you ask the the people of Venezuela the one thing they regret the most, the number one answer is giving up their firearms.. look at them now, they have no way to fight tyranny and they are eating Flamingos for dinner.
Like I’ve said before, if you want to take guns away, take them away from the males first. Women need them more than men do for personal safety.
@non-deplorable – So you are fine with discrimination against males, that explains some things. I will give up my legally owned guns when you take away all the illegally owned guns from the gangs, drug dealers, and felons not allowed to own guns. Have at it and let me know how it goes for you.
Interesting take. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the Ukrainian govt handing out fully automatic firearms to the Ukrainian people. You know… to try and avoid ending up in one of said graves.
why should I turn in my guns because folk in P-Town choose to commit crime?
Unhinged, unrealistic comment. But you already knew that.
Yes lets take guns away from mass majority of legal law abiding gun owners. I’m sure the bangers will stop shooting each other at that point.
Northeast Portland…..
Oh yeah forgot about portland’s on going decline seems petty now.
They just need more liberal socialist democrats. Somewhere there is a lone Republican causing all these problems. And definitely more government spending will help. Bureaucrats fix everything.
Portland used to be a nice place. Barney will disagree of course and say I’m just older now………
We know that you have NPD, have you been checked for OCD? Barney is usually more correct than you. It would be worth it for you to get checked out at least.
Northeast Stumptown has always been the higher violent crime area. But defunding police and disbanding anti-gang units along with high rates of retirement of PDX cops and inability to hire replacements do not help matters. Feel sorry for those stuck having to live in NE.
Coming soon to Bend! Hire PDX Cops you get PDX problems. Higher crime increased “homelessness”!
