Sounds like he just decided to start shooting at random cars on the highway. How awesome. https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/07/us/kentucky-interstate-75-shooting/index.html
They are a well-known ****-posting rag, but at least they kind of own it. Here are some of the "best" (re: most turrrible) covers. https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/photos/world/pics-some-of-the-best-ny-post-covers/
I have always thought of them as the guy everyone avoids at the bar: he thinks he's funny but is definitely not that funny.
While the leftists are circle-jerking at a conservative publication - have they caught the Kentucky shooter yet?
Agree. But I assume you were projecting this statement out of the perspective of school officials and not your own opinion. But in response... ...The best way to stop or slow a school shooting is to address the root cause. The root cause is not a mental health crisis that some seem to think only impacts Americans in 2024 and nowhere else on earth. So when somebody inevitably has a bad day, let's try to limit their access to get an AR15. Just because professional race car drivers are trained to drive 150mph, we don't leave it up to the individual to decide if they are responsible enough to drive that fast on a freeway. 2nd Amendment: "well-regulated militia"
It doesn't matter. Gun nuts really, really love their guns and it isn't all republicans. The other 80-85% are pretty much indifferent to it when it comes to actual voting. It's been proven time and time again you will lose votes anywhere except the deepest blue parts of the country if you go after meaningful gun control.
I was relaying what I’ve heard from school officials in discussions about school design. My personal opinion is that there is only so much we can do from a school design perspective. I agree that root causes need to be addressed. School design is dealing with symptoms and if we’re counting on school design to save children we aren’t addressing the problem in the first place.
If so, why has the party that has been in power 12 of the last 16 years not been able to improve things?
11 years ago, after the Sandy Hook school shooting, where 22 children (ages 6 to 7) and 6 adults were murdered (using an AR-15 style rifle), there were proposals to ban assault weapons and expand universal background checks. These required 60 Senate votes to pass. The assault weapon ban failed 40-60 (15 Democrats, 1 Independent, and all 44 Republicans voted against it). The universal background check measure failed 54-46 (5 Democrats—all from red states—and 41 Republicans voted against it). Although it had majority support, 60 votes were needed to overcome the Senate filibuster rules. Today, there IS more support for gun reform than 11 years ago, but it’s not possible at the federal level for one primary reason—Republicans do not support any gun reforms. As for the discrepancies between polls supporting gun reform and the actual votes—I’m not sure, but I have some theories if anyone cares.
Come on you can't really be that dense.. You've been in the US long enough to understand how the Senate filibuster works.
To remind people that Biden did sign a the bipartisan safer communities act in 2022. That act did things like close the “boyfriend loophole” that allowed those who had allowed domestic abusers to still buy and keep firearms. He worked with Republicans including Marco Rubio to the get the first gun control legislation passed in 28 Years. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/2938/text
