        If only people on air force bases would carry guns, this wouldn't happen. #UnitedStatesOfFail #DeportTheNRA

        It's funny because on base personnel aren't allowed to carry firearms and what you're mocking is actually right.

        Not sure what that means, Canada bigger & diverser, but fewer massacres per capita.

        300M is a smaller number than 30M. Today I learned.

        LOL You don't know what per capita means! If you have 300 massacres/year we'd have 30. But we have 1-2

        I wasn't talking about the per capita rate, I was disagreeing with "bigger" (geography has no meaning here)

        "diverser" (not a word) is also false, isn't Canada something like 80% white?

        Nothing like an "active shooter" sit to get the news off the Clinton/Lynch private meeting.
