We are truly mad as a country if we can’t agree to stop this!

[discocrisco01]

36. Because it is people now found it acceptable way to solve disputes now.

[wnylib]

40. Living in the US today is like being

on the set of a Hollywood western, except the guns are real and are not firing blanks.

Anyone who has a gripe about someone or something grabs a gun and starts firing.

[Guilded Lilly]

2. No immediate danger to the public????...

Walking out your damned door in America is an immediate danger to the public.
Get the guns banned.

[Blecht]

3. That line caught my attention, too

[Guilded Lilly]

5. I'd like to know their definition of danger ⚠️

[samsingh]

33. i thought that line was disgusting too

like saying there is no immediate danger to the deceased.

these people are beyond stupid traitors.

[NewHendoLib]

4. Why of course. We are in the post trump nightmare.

[BigmanPigman]

6. Something similar happened in Philly last night...

"What we know about the deadly mass shooting on South Street
At least 14 people were reported injured, and at least three people were killed."

[BumRushDaShow]

7. I almost thought this was a dupe OP of what happened here in Philly last night

(same stats)

[LiberatedUSA]

10. Me too.

This country is cracking.

[malthaussen]

11. And "several gunmen."

If this happens a third time, I call Enemy Action.

A gun humper.

9. This was probably a reprisal of the previous weekend's shooting in downtown Chattanooga.

It's almost as if there are members of rival gangs who don't like each other.

Multiple people were shot on Saturday night during an exchange of gunfire in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee, police said.

Chattanooga Police officers were patrolling downtown at about 10:48 p.m. local time when they "observed multiple parties exchanging gunfire and numerous people fleeing the area."

"Our Officers began rendering aid to the victims as well as assisting others to safety," a police spokesperson said. "They were able to detain at least one person of interest in the incident in the moments after the shooting began."

Police said "several" gunshot victims were transported to local hospitals. Most of the victims were in their teens or early 20s, police said.

12. At this rate, we'll be suffering more casualties than the Russians have in Ukraine...

... and that's a war, and all.

13. Are we approaching a massacre a day?

[Botany]

20. We have had more mass shootings then days in this year.

"In the United States, there are several different, but common, definitions of mass shootings. The Congressional Research Service defines mass shootings, as multiple, firearm, homicide incidents, involving 4 or more victims at one or more locations close to one another."

[Chainfire]

23. If only all of the people in the bar had been armed

The death toll could have been limited to a dozen and the injuries to a few score.

Good man with a gun....yea, right.

[IronLionZion]

30. Heavily armed and drunk is the best strategy

what could go wrong

[RussBLib]

25. I think we are over 200 mass shootings already in 2022, which is more than 1 per day

Gradually, these psychos are being taken out, one by one, but they are unfortunately taking far too many innocent people with them.

Ban the fucking assault weapons and large magazines already, FCS.

[Sogo]

14. We don't need to ban guns,

just sit back and file our nails, until the gun OWNERS get sick of headlines like this.

Then maybe THEY'LL call for action....

[Blecht]

15. They'll just go get some more guns

[IronLionZion]

28. Gun sales go up after each mass shooting

NRA loves to scare these idiots by telling them Dems are going to take their guns

[YoshidaYui]

16. there seems to be a gun EPIDEMIC

in this country, we need a vaccine!

[Traildogbob]

17. Two dead from guns

In Asheville shooting yesterday. My daughter works Nuero Trauma ICU and her unit is THE gun shot stop. Nearly daily. Like these two yesterday in one city, we never hear of all the ones in the 10’s of thousands of cities daily. Prayers ain’t working folks. Even if your praying to not get shot.
Like more guns, more republicans would only get the same result, many more dead from D’s, R’s and I’s and people who don’t do politics. Feel safer about Covid and whatever else comes from nature to rid us from the planet.

[Swede]

18. How many doors did this bar have?

I am of course being facetious, but it never ends.

[IronLionZion]

29. They should put doors on the outside to protect people on the street

[Roc2020]

19. Saturation point with gun violence

in America. The Chickens Truly have come home to roost. Public spaces are dangerous and toxic. Be care out there.

[C Moon]

21. "You don't need a permit for concealed carry in Tennessee"

You don't need a permit for concealed carry in Tennessee, but there are rules you must follow.
As of July 1, Tennessee is now a permitless carry state. However, you still need a permit in certain situations.

What could possibly go wrong?

[IronLionZion]

31. An armed society is a polite society

[Cherokee100]

22. I smell a

I smell the NRT obviously and maybe some of Putins unregistered agents (with one already being released, by trump and sent back to Russia) working towards, destroying the U.S. Its being done, right under our noses, from within..

[RussBLib]

24. I wonder how often alcohol consumption triggers fights?

He asked innocently...

So many of the shootings lately seem to involve late-night or early-morning parties or involve bars. I have little doubt that some of these fights or brawls involve intoxicated people. And intoxicated people can do some pretty stupid stuff. Toss in extra firearms and BOOM!

Makes me never want to go to another bar. Or party.

[ShazzieB]

41. Alcohol lowers inhibitions.

That's a well-established fact. Being well supplied with firepower and short on inhibitions is an explosive combination!

[Wingus Dingus]

26. A lot of late-night crowd shootings.

Maybe we need gun control plus curfews.

[IronLionZion]

27. It's been 0 days since the last massacre of Americans on American soil

thank God no one feels terrorized by all these isolated incidents that happen daily

[rockfordfile]

32. Chattanooga is turning into a gun violence shit-hole

From the other shooting.
"Police said early Monday that two victims were 15-year-old girls, while three 15-year-old boys and one 13-year-old boy were also shot."

[Farmer-Rick]

34. All it will take is for a gunman to kill off or injur

A handful of filthy rich white men for the gun laws to be reinstated and liability laws on guns to be inacted.

But it will have to be people who have taken a lot of our wealth. A few dead politicians won't matter and obviously children and the middle or poor class don't count.

Until the people who actually run America....the filthy rich and the oligarchs....start feeling the impact, nothing will ever change.

[Blecht]

37. If that starts happening martial law will be the response.

Or, if you're a moron, Marshall law, complete with Gazpacho police.

I'm afraid we are past the time of things getting better as the response to anything without them first getting much, much worse.

We will go through a time of horrible reactionary fascism. We'll have to survive that first.

[AngryOldDem]

35. So this weekend's tally is 6 dead and 25 injured that we know of?

Between Chattanooga and Philly?

Remember back in the day when they would show a weekly casualty report from Vietnam? Maybe it’s time to do that with gun violence here in the good old US of A.

[Harvey Wineburger]

38. Faux-news has been doing that for years

Every week they report the "body count" from Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, and on and on.
And they always blame the Democratic Mayor, city councils, and Governors instead of placing blame where it belongs on the Qop, NRA, guns, and the former occupant of the White House.

This wouldn't be happening if Mrs. Clinton hadn't had the election stolen from her.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

39. What a strange coincidence

This is the same number of people shot and the same number of people dead as in the Philadelphia shooting incident.
