New Year’s Eve sees gun violence across nation, concluding record-high year of mass killings
2019 was a deadly year for gun violence, and New Year’s Eve was no different.
- Within hours of the new decade, many people had lost their lives, including two juvenile boys.
- Several of the shootings happened at nightclubs and bars.
- Two men were fatally shot when a gunman opened fire at a 2020 celebration at a club in Orlando, Florida, sending nearly 250 partygoers running for safety, local news outlets said.
At a nightclub in Lubbock, Texas, a gunman killed two men, 17 and 24.
In Huntington, West Virginia, at least seven people were injured after being shot inside a bar early New Year’s Day. More than a dozen shell casings were found outside the bar and in a parking lot across the street.
Four people in St. Louis were shot to death in the early morning hours. Three were found dead in one location, where a fourth person was shot in the leg but survived. One person was fatally shot and another wounded in a separate incident...
Guns were made to kill. CM

Mr. Reformed,
Don't you get? "Evil for evil". A gun took a life. Guns were made to kill. CM
Here is how to truly save lives. This is an example:
Waffle House shooting victims ID'd as worker, star athlete, music artist
Last Updated Apr 22, 2018 11:27 PM EDT
Authorities have identified the victims of Sunday's shooting that left four people dead at a Waffle House in Tennessee. They were identified as 29-year-old Taurean C. Sanderlin, 20-year-old Joe R. Perez, 21-year-old DeEbony Groves and 23-year-old Akilah Dasilva.
"Hero" customer wrestled the rifle away from Waffle House shooter--
What that "Black" man did to the shooter is an example of how to disarm a shooter with an AR-15 Rifle. Stop the killing.
All owners of these guns (AR-15s) should be registered and licensed. Some mental evaluation of these owers should be conducted.
All Christians of goodwill need to leave the NRA. Form an organization to help victim's families who experienced loss from guns like AR-15s.
What Christian in his or her right spiritual mind continue to support and endorse the NRA? Of course, how can encourage, endorse and keep silent about putting guns in the classrooms? ...

As I said before and repeat gain:
No Christian should own or endorse weapons of war into the hands of those, not of Ceasar's Army. To do so is to share in the outcome of its usage and the lost lives. It's time for Christians to put the Ten-Commandments above the Second Amendment! What say ye? CM
This IS NOT "hyperbole" (exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally) an exaggeration, overstatement, magnification, embroidery, embellishment, excess, overkill, rhetoric.
It is truly here, a "citizen stops gunman"! CM

how do police officers (they are citizens, aren't they?) usually stop gunmen? How many unarmed "hero citizens" have been shot by gunmen before a gun stopped the gunmen?

The left can't see beyond their own idiocy.

Well said and timely Bill. CM
