Too many guns in the US. Dating back to revolutionary times. Not needed with a large standing military?

Shots fired at Kamala Harris' campaign office

#####

No surprise to me, given the public display by many on the left of disappointment that Trump didn't die in the first assassination shooting.
Many on the left obviously learnt nothing from the "'Sarah Palin' hanging in a noose from a roof in LA, and 'Barack Obama' hanging from a tree in Kentucky in reply".
Not at all surprised to see Sky News found a way to blame it on the Democrats.

Guns are great...
...for shooting cougars that come into your yard and kill your pets.

You haven't the faintest idea wtf you're talking about. 

You keep pets inside from dusk until dawn.
That would be cruelty

Was referring to cougar territory in the West.  The only way to protect pets in those areas from cougar predation is keep them inside during hunting hours.  Not really practical to sit awake all night on your deck or patio with a shotgun.  Try reading for meaning next time, shitwit.

Youtube:

"Cougar killed after attacking child in Leavenworth".

It's bad luck for Canadians, they're not allowed to carry guns.
Not so Americans, they can carry handguns loaded and ready to shoot cougars in self defence and defence of family and pets.

A loaded gun is not really a good deterrent given that the way felines hunt is to pounce from concealment before any reaction is possible.  Wildlife management, which yes sometimes includes culling or darting and relocation, is the only way to handle cougars.

The band Green Day has blasted the Oakland A's baseball team for moving to Las Vegas, and he has bashed Las Vegas; he needs to wake up, Oakland is a horrible place, while Las Vegas is booming and is a wonderful place where your imagination will take you far. Vegas is great, Oakland is in deep decline. I cannot blame the Oakland A's for moving to Las Vegas. And now Vegas is going to have a high speed train between Los Angeles and Vegas, Vegas is great.

On the issue of Oakland, then I invited the San Miguel Corporation from the Philippines to come to help to save Oakland, and also to help to save San Francisco, and San Bernardino.

Oakland also needs to get help from Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries, etc, and from Youth For Christ, and from the Catholic Church, etc.

Oakland also needs Wellness Centers, and Mental Health Associations like in Santa Ana, and cheap hostels for a bed and a shower for $15 per night, etc.

Education can also help in Oakland, and Early Childhood Education, etc.

The homeless in Oakland can also be paid to wash side-walks, and to clean and paint, etc, and to plant nice public landscaping, etc, and to make Oakland nicer.

Salute,

Tony V.

I think Las Vegas is whatever word is the opposite of great.

Thought that one up all by myself.

What goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas. An advertising slogan. "We are just a little bit naughty." Tee hee.

A nice little railroad town, before 1932 (pre Hoover Dam, pre Mob).  It even had a small soul.
