[Ocelot II]

1. 2 adults also killed per MSNBC just now.

But let's not take away any guns...

[spanone]

5. Not one fucking thing will change.

[Ocelot II]

9. I'm afraid you're right.

[JanLip]

11. I agree!

Nothing will change unless the republicans have one of their precious children or grandchildren die as a result of gun violence. And here we are again

[mercuryblues]

26. I wouldn't bet on that

for some of them, their guns mean more to them than their children.

[Hortensis]

30. But things ALWAYS change. The current wave of political violence is change.

Maybe everything's changing so fast reality's an unseeable blur?

In any case, change inevitably causes changes, most predictably including reaction that puts brakes on and changes course.

[CatWoman]

2. aw fuck

[Hortensis]

32. Yes.

[CentralMass]

3. 😞

[Marius25]

4. Republicans said putting God back in schools would solve school shootings

This was a private Christian school in Tennessee.

[claudette]

6. Seems to

happen more often in red states. My heart ❤️ goes out to the families of the victims. 🙏
Guns are sinful.

[spanone]

8. Red state, but Blue city.

[claudette]

10. Maybe but

the gun laws there are red state standard

[spanone]

12. That is true. We have republican house, senate and governor

Effective July 1, 2021, most adults will be allowed to carry a handgun or other firearm in Tennessee without a permit, whether openly or concealed. The new legislation eliminates the permit requirement for eligible gun owners, as well as the misdemeanor offense of carrying a handgun without a permit.

[claudette]

15. My gawd

That is crazy. Here in NY state the laws are stricter and I don’t mind a bit.

[maxsolomon]

23. Blue city, blue state here.

It's happened multiple times in Seattle: Cafe Racer (schizophrenic), Capitol Hil Rave Party (alienated young male), Seattle Jewish Federation (antisemitic terrorism).

Rampage shootings happen anywhere in the US that guns are easy to acquire and people are homicidally angry. Which is everywhere.

[W_HAMILTON]

35. It's a statistical fact that gun violence is worse in red states.

One of the many reputable sources confirming this fact: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm

[maxsolomon]

37. Rampage Shootings are not all Gun Violence.

they're a subset.

[W_HAMILTON]

39. Stop trying to provide cover for Republican policies in red states.

And gun violence is gun violence. If you have statistical evidence that """rampage shootings""" are just as prevalent or more so in blue states than in red states, cite your source.

[maxsolomon]

40. I didn't assert that they were as prevalent or greater in Blue States.

I said that it happens everywhere; no place in America is exempt, GOP policy or no GOP policy.

YOU changed the topic to gun violence in general.

In the case of Rampage Shootings, gun violence isn't simply gun violence. We hold these massacres, of children especially, to be worse than the daily gun suicides - those happen largely unnoticed. Over 50 a day.

[W_HAMILTON]

43. Whether you like it or not, you are providing cover for Republicans.

Fact of the matter is that gun violence occurs less often in states with stricter gun laws and if REPUBLICANS were not blocking sensible gun laws at the federal level, we could lessen ALL GUN VIOLENCE across the United States because stricter gun laws DO prevent more gun violence.

[BlackSkimmer]

44. The stats I saw says California has more mass shootings than any other state.

[W_HAMILTON]

45. You know what California also has more of than any other state?

People.

About 10 million more than the state next closest in population.

10 million people is more than the populations of about 40 states.

Clearly you weren't looking at per capita gun violence, now were you?

California has one of the lowest gun death rates in the nation: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm

I would I assume that since you are on this website, you were simply uninformed and mistakenly using Republican talking points, so consider yourself informed on the subject now.

7. NEWS CONFERENCE.....FEMALE SHOOTER DEAD.

SHOOTER APPEARS TO BE IN HER TEENS.

ARMED WITH TWO ASSAULT TYPE RIFLES AND HAND GUN

3 STUDENTS DEAD 3 ADULTS DEAD...INCLUDING SHOOTER 7 DEAD.

[Takket]

13. Oh well. More "business as usual" in the US(second)A

[Wingus Dingus]

14. Another day in Crazyland.

[nolabear]

16. Oh my GOD, it's a woman.

[spanone]

17. 'Appears to be a teenager' per press conference

[nolabear]

19. Yes. Somehow this hits me harder.

I hope you know what I mean. I was holding onto “at least the women don’t do this…” I know, it’s hubris. *sigh*

[Polly Hennessey]

24. Women have also been known to lie.

[nolabear]

34. Oh I'm not idealizing us that much.

We have our share of horrible behaviors and issues. But I guess I was drawing comfort from the idea I could probably pass some people on the street without worry. Guess not.

[MissB]

27. Feel the same way

[spanone]

36. MSNBC reported that in 2021 there were 61 active shooter incidents. 60 were male & 1 was female.

[panader0]

18. I'm so old I can remember when something like this would shock the nation.

[nolabear]

20. Yeah. It's not even rippling.

[maxsolomon]

25. the news is just breaking.

give it a minute.

[Kaleva]

38. I remember when kids could take guns to school

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

21. Female shooter??? "appears teenager" Holy shit

[underpants]

22. K-6 school. Just horrible

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

28. "Shooter was 28 y/o Nashville woman", not a teenager

[spanone]

29. Press conference reported she 'looked like a teenager'.

They've walked that back.

[Paladin]

31. Think of the next 100 school shootings in this country.

Think of the next several hundred dead or severely-wounded schoolchildren and school staff.

Might as well think about the foreseeable future. It doesn't appear that there's any genuine national will to do what's necessary to make this madness stop.

[malaise]

33. Here we go again

Look out for BananaReTHUG thoughts and prayers but no action against guns

[LetMyPeopleVote]

41. I remember when Johnson spent the July 4th Holiday with Putin

42. Ugh, another day in America. Thanks NRA.
