Good idea.

Natalie Portman is a Jew who was born in Israel and she has a degree in Psychology from Harvard.

Natalie can team up with Muzi who also studied Psychology at Harvard, Muzi is the Daughter of the President of China. They can work together to help the Homeless and the Mentally Ill and the Veterans and the Senior Citizens, etc. And they can help to open Mental Health Associations like the one in Santa Ana, and Wellness Centers like the one in Orange.

A lot of great people have attended Harvard.

Salute,

Tony V.

In 'FBI Files' on my tv...

"In southern Louisiana a vicious killer is on the loose, slaughtering his victims in their own homes.
....a sadistic murderer."

Another perfect example of why good people need guns big and small.

From 2021----

COLLATERAL DAMAGE!!!!! Though I concede that chart doesn't make any distinctions between "good" and "bad" people and certainly doesn't tell us how many times such firearms were used as defense against "sadistic murderers" that were "slaughtering....victims in their own homes."

Just pointing out that your "guns are great" fetish has practical implications as well.

Your guns are great has quote marks.  I never said that.  Who did?
I only concluded that the overwhelming number of gun owners are good people.
Nearly half the population owns a gun, 150 million or so. If you lump all gun incidents together in a year the total is, maybe 100 THOUSAND, and that includes suicides, accidental shootings, etc. That is information much better than a poll.
It also does not include incidents where a gun owner prevented a crime  but there have been estimates at over a million a year.

Bambu says "guns are great" frequently.  And I was responding to him.

If you want a gun, buy one.   Believe it or not, nobody's stopping you.  I'm sure you are a "good" person who would never use one irresponsibly.

I do not need a gun. If I do there are a number of steps to be made before a sale is done.  I have no problem with the red tape as I am a good  person, as are the overwhelming number of gun owners.

Editing.  What are you talking about?  I responded to Bambu's post directly above mine.  I think your reading and logic skills need some work.

And I'm perfectly fine with you as a "good" person owning a gun.

As for not "needing" one, talk to Bambu about that.  "Good" people need guns for those times that "vicious killers are on the loose."

That is well documented in America.

Repeating "your editing skills need work" doesn't make it any less idiotic.

Bambu seems like the kind of person one stands ones ground against. For better or worse, his local gun laws are keeping him safe.

Good people with guns.
The overwhelming majority.

In the past few years, the percent of gun deaths from suicide has been 54-60%.  Guess the good people get pretty depressed.
A statistic gun opponents rarely recognize.
