Are you agreeing with statement?
I dunno......Need to know this person's history and what if any medications they were on.

I'm all for tougher gun control however.....But they're beyond redemption at this point.

How do you undo 246 years of one way of thinking? A consummate fear of a strong centralized government?

Essentially the founding fathers instilled their paranoia into their constitution via the second amendment.

It's ingrained. They've just trade muskets for AR15's.

So… when you stack up the American history of mass shootings, school shootings, and general gun culture…. We now have one Trans person who’s committed this atrocity… and without any evidence (by her own admission in the tweet), she feels that is a non politicized, non partisan statement.

Interesting.

She's pandering to her base.....Is that surprising? ........Is it any different on the other side of the aisle?

The thing is she could be correct in this individual case.

Women don't usually find themselves getting involved in perpetrating killing sprees. So why this one?

Hmmm....As you would say interesting.

As far as knowing about meds, mental issues and motivations etc., etc., I heard someone on TV asking the same questions.

I say, what difference does it make? There can be 1,000 shootings and you will have 1,000 different sets of causes/motivations. No two cases are the same. There is no pattern and studying all the varying causes will provide no solutions. All it does is muddy the waters and delays any significant action being taken, which is basically the intent of these questions.

The only similarities in every case are that innocent people are dead and they were killed by firearms. The ONLY way to limit this epidemic is to limit access to guns. Guns are the only common element.

They need Democratic governments nationally (prez, senate and house all at once) and statewide and a majority of democratic Supreme Court justices.

But not enough people give a fuck.

i totally agree with this statement, I have met a client who came to see me and all he did was talk about guns, so when you said “America loves gun more than people” I would say there certainly is a lot of people who think that way
Yep... And they have thousands and thousand, including many kids, killed or injured each year by gun accident. Not homicide. Just by mishandling of guns.

No wonder they were willing to elect such a bastard as Trump... He knows and plays the game great.

A mass shooting is defined differently by many different media and organizations. Some say 3 dead or more, some say 4 injured or more, some say 5 injured or more. The FBI actually says it's not related to the amount of people killed or injured but defines a mass shooting as "one or more persons attempting to kill people in a populated area". So go figure. Get the stats from the organization that best fits your narrative.

@shack The easiest solution is to decrease the production of ammo. It is not a violation of the 2nd Amendment
The next black market cash cow then.

Especially with the ease of access that their southern border permits.

In that case they have "mass shootings" in cities like Chicago every weekend.

I think he mean to say mass shooting instead of school shooting.

I work with Europeans a lot and they say mass shooting is to the US what Carbonara is to Italy ;)
My bad, mass shootings.
Though the number seems to be 138 for the year so far.
Not sure where I read that other number.

Way, way too many.
Its really an american problem, no other country has it so bad.

I'm been to the U.S. many times. One thing for sure, the people in the Deep South will never give up their guns. They still remember when a President ordered federal troops to invade and kill southerners. It is what it is, don't blame me.

As the Onion headline says after every mass shooting:
‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens."

Funny when the racist or anti Semitic mass killings happen, to Foxworld it was not about racism or anti-semitism, but mental health. This new one is not about mental health, but transgenderism, as predicted. Hence, push your sleight-of-hand narrative as long as you don't touch the guns.

Back in the old country we banned assault rifles after the Port Arthur massacre in 1996. Only one internal family mass killing since. (ie a drongo dad killed wife and kiddies maybe mother in law).

These AR-15s as sold to the USA public was all about "getting back your man card." Thus pushing this "fuck you everybody" narrative.

It does not matter how they cover it… it’s not going to stop any time soon.

3 nine year olds dead… and for what? What the fuck was so important that more kids needed to die.
We still haven't seen the manifesto, I think.
