The good news is the gun nutters from here will send you thoughts and prayers and tell you that if everyone was armed he wouldn’t have been successful. You just need more guns to keep you safe.

We’ll just ignore that the death rate from guns is like 30x higher in the US than Denmark.
And the fact that it’s only 30x because states with more gun restrictions have less gun violence and death, dragging that number down

Sad, but ‘Murica has these on a near daily basis, so much so that they don’t even hit the news, it’s just part of being ‘Murican

I dont think the dk shooting belongs in this thread, cause its not an "happens again" thing.

Gun violence deaths per 100,000 people in developed economies:
U.S.: 3.964
Denmark: 0.141



Is there gun violence outside of US in developed countries? Yes. How to get those numbers even further down? Ban all guns. As in all guns. Ban hunting. Ban military. Ban.... And then there'd still be a small influx over the border.
Its not the same thing.

Yes, it’s not the same at all, we agree. In the U.S. this thing is as common as hot dogs and apple pie, just part of life, the American way

I didn't really pick up on this until today with all the news about the Uvalde *Schools* Police chief.
Uvalde is a town of 15k people. Why the fuck is there a chief of police for the schools???? For a town of 15k people?

We went really really sideways somewhere and that's part of the path.

Every government agency in Texas wants its own police force.

I am not even moderately surprised this happened:


They cannot have their independence celebration because of angry violent children. (mental children, not necessarily physical children)

Chicago seems to have too much fun these days.

At least 5 dead 16 injured. Reports say shooter was on a roof and fired into the crowd. Given the descriptions almost certainly used a semi-auto rifle.

Highland Park is a wealthy suburb of Chicago for those who do not know.

And yet another suspected 18-20 white male shooter

Sadly, one begins to feel like the scenario can be written without any actual knowledge about the shooting. Just check the same boxes as the other ones.

Cue more discourse on how to stop these events that sidesteps the pink elephant: relatively easy access to high powered weaponry.

Uvalde, like every other part of Texas not Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, or El Paso, is extremely right wing.

He might get a repetitive stress injury. They are only concerned about the health of the shooter.
As this Supreme Court has explicitly claimed to believe in using original 18th century intent in interpreting the 2nd amendment (although that is an absolute lie, as they ignore the context of the amendment), he should have only been armed with nothing more powerful than a single shot, muzzle-loaded musket... which might have left 1 or 2 injured.

The only consistent factor of the Thomas court is their blatant dishonesty.
