So sad that personal responsibility is dead.

The images are directed toward minors who may not be making the best choices on their own.  Most people start smoking as teens or younger.

LOL Tens of thousands Really?

Yes, really.

The New York Times

Nearly 40,000 People Died From Guns in U.S. Last Year, Highest in 50 Years

Firearm deaths, including suicides, have been rising. Adjusted for population, the gun death rate in 2017 was the highest since the mid-1990s.

We seem to have a group of new members who all showed up a few days ago with the same ideas.  We just saw the posts in the queue, so they may or may not be back.

Not a clue what you're trying to hint at.

LOL I should have known. Too funny! Guess I need to ask, how would more gun laws stop any of that? Making stupidity illegal would do much more good.

Five new posters at once is a record since I’ve been posting here.  Are you all friends?

I think what you meant to say was "Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong - there ARE tens of thousands of gun deaths annually in the US".

Apology accepted.

no idea who you are talking about. try being direct

Ok, direct.  This is a forum which has always had a liberal bent.  I have taken charge of the forum for now since the host passed away, so I run it a little differently but the basic tenets are in place.  If you want to participate and be civil, as in polite, you may post and participate.  Disagreements are alright but flaming, name calling and random shots at someone else just because you disagree, are not acceptable.  Do you want more explanation?
