Coronavirus - What Happened?

Thanks for the graph. I like seeing these type of things in visual form for perspective.

NY is being hit exceptionally hard. No denying that.

Can someone find me a graph comparing ā€œall causeā€(deaths from anything-I have no idea what to call it-all people that died in X area during Y time) deaths to the same from this COVID-19 period? That’s what I’m interested in, but I’ve been unable to find it so far.

I believe the gray line in his graph is ā€œall deathsā€.

It does look that way. I misread it(I didn’t notice the gray 2016-2017 line in with all the rest, so thought the ā€œtotalā€ line was 2016-2017).

This is true. At best, guns are a stop-gap. Any 2nd Amendment fan(or supporter of freedom in general) should absolutely push for restrictions on much-more-capable weapons to be lifted, at least at the federal level.
Edit: I would argue that those same persons should also push to get rid of, or at least drastically reduce, our standing military.

Shit’s about to get wild.

Looks like China’s sending them a message regarding the worker dorms.

Unemployment rates are sure looking great…

Are you heartless? You can’t worry about unemployment when COVID-19 is out there and has to be stopped!

Can’t make this up

Get in.

Lot of pantywaist jackboots out there.

Disagree with this mostly, while agreeing with it partly

You are correct that guns don’t protect from most tyranny. It’s a huge stretch to say they can’t ever protect from any tyranny, anywhere, ever

Then why confiscate them?

Bozza out of the ICU, a good haul for a Thursday.

I posted somewhere a while ago about how I marvelled that Trump in the US had disbanded in 2018 an infectious diseases advisory panel, I suppose to cut the budget. Or was it because Obama set it up in the first place?

I am now chagrined to post this article describing how Canada has almost done the same over the last several years. the SARS outbreak affected Canada, as well as wherever else, but after it left the front pages of the news, it seems to have been swept under the rug the relevance of having a pre prepared response plan to the next disease outbreak. Uggghhh:

We don’t. It’s way harder to legally drive a vehicle than obtain an arsenal. We don’t even consider legislation that over 90% of Americans support.

Other bands play, Manowar kills!

Seriously? Context man

Has any government anywhere at any time ever confiscated guns?

You wanna play like that, then consider this!

How can Americans support legislation without even considering it!?

Give it up, commie!
