"States rush to expand gun rights following massacre"

[bif]

Is the headline on Yahoo News. I think this country has finally had it. Americans have gone fucking nuts!

1. In other news, Republicans want more school kids to be murdered.

Now for today's weather.

2. Absolutely predictable. There's always a big rush on guns

and a big push to protect "gun freedom" after an incident like this.

3. As sure as the fact that there will be more murder in schools ...

... there will be more loosening of gun restrictions. It fucking happens every goddamned time.

4. sorry for responding to my own post here, but I forgot to add ...

...I am sick and tired of talking heads saying "This time it feels different."

No, it fucking doesn't.

The RW has honed their talking points, which are just more of the same. There's a feeble attempt at meetings to talk about it in the Senate, but I can't see any meaningful legislation coming from it, same as always.They're blaming TEACHERS, for fuck's sake.

After every single mass shooting there is a loosening of restrictions and a huge uptick in gun sales. If I didn't know any better I'd say the gun industry WANTS these mass murders because they drive up business.

What I fully expect: people will say that the mass murder of 19 kids in their classroom HAS GOT TO change things, but just like the mass murder of 20 kids in their classroom at Sandy Hook didn't change a thing other than to loosen gun restrictions, we can't expect anything different this time.

This time does not feel any different.

5. republicans are anti-life and certifiably insane

[Dorn]

6. Without ongoing training, guns tend to shoot their owners or loved ones

More guns means more deaths either way.

7. Exactly!
