Another mass shooting

[ousdahl]

I wish this would get old:

[Shirley]

6 victims identified.
Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all 9 years old, and adults Cynthia Peak, 61; Katherine Koonce, 60; and Mike Hill, 61.
Woke up, went to school, got shot and killed. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Any idea how they were dressed?

[Shirley]

Only 4 of over 170 previous mass shooters since 1966 have been women.

[jfish26]

not just transgender, but a former student at the school

i’m sure there’s zero associated trauma…

To be clear, my supposition around the shooter being within the MAGAverse enemies list was based on how unusual it is for women to do things like this. So perhaps I'm the one guilty of going right to stereotypes (although I have a feeling this nuance will be lost on the MAGAts).

So prescient

Nostra-fucking-damus here. Rube, I hope you at least blew your wad at her “toxic free” shop.

And lord help us if this "female shooter" was in ANY way within the MAGAverse big bads (LGTBTQ, on government assistance, pro choice, what have you).

Murder is already illegal. Making guns illegal won't stop deranged people from murdering others. Theres no logic there

You want a deranged person coming at your kid with a gun or, checks notes, almost literally anything else?

I, for one, would be very happy with a reduction in gun deaths and a corresponding increase in attempted soup ladle bludgeonings.

Let me help you. If a "deranged person" doesn't have a gun, they can't shoot someone.
It really is that simple.
Sure, they can/will find another way to kill people if they are hell bent on killing someone but not a single one of those kids and adults at that school would have been shot and killed had the shooter not had a gun. Right?

Are you dumb enough to think that making guns illegal means people won't have gun?

Law abiding citizens won't, but murderers are not law abiding citizens. Murderers will still have guns

Examples of things that have been illegal in this country: meth, Marijuana, murder, etc

Things that are in every city every day in this country: meth, murder, Marijuana

Making guns illegal could very well make the problem worse. Because guns will be less monitored, they will come strictly from the black market, and good people won't be able to defend themselves as easily

And obviously the government has wanted to disarm the population for a long time. Every corrupt tyrannical government has tried or succeeded to do that

School shootings take place in "gun free zones"

If it was as simple as making the guns illegal there.... then why do they still happen?
