Thoughts and prayers...............we`ll mostly just prayers, anyone who thought this would not happen again is living in a fantasy world. As a previous poster stated, were the greatest country in the world yet were the only one with this type of mass shootings on a regular basis.
I don't support them on that. The unfortunate reality is that the politicians from the other side also didn't manage to really do something about it, even when they were in power. There's always a lot of posturing, but the reality seems to be that the American society as a whole isn't willing to really do something about it. I am on record here, saying that I wish the US could do what Australia did, and just confiscate all the ****ing guns. There was a good John Oliver clip on it (or several). I agree with him 100 % on this.

We don't need to abolish the Second Amendment; we simply need much stronger regulations. The interpretation of the 2A has become so distorted that almost anyone can access guns and carry them nearly anywhere, with the exception of political rallies held by the very politicians who champion unlimited and unchecked 2A rights.
Looking up the school, it's a private christian school... thats pre-k through 6th grade Mother ****er
This is absolutely not true. The majority consistently wants stricter gun laws. On some issues, such as universal background checks and preventing people with mental illness from owning guns, we have over 80% agreement. The problem is that American democracy allows a minority to easily hold onto the status quo.
No problem with my kids getting shot to hell in school and left in an unidentifiable mess, but god help you if you try to let a man in drag *exist* in their presence!
I hate my thread gets bumped on a weekly basis. This is sad. Something has to be done other than thoughts and prayers. Something that can mitigate these from reoccurring. Another sad day.
Sure...because supporting them because of idiotic "anti-woke policies" is definitely more important than this issue. Let's definitely focus on drag queens and banning books that discuss racism. Way more important to support politicians for those views. And as @txtony just said, your comment that American society as a whole doesn't want to do anything about it is purely bulls***.
American government is pretty hamstrung by having three elected positions that need to be controlled by the same party to do almost anything big. And if you want something really big like gun policy, you need BIG majorities and the WH.
When I said "do something about it", I meant doing what Australia did. You can direct all your anger and hate at me, but you are barking up the wrong tree here.
Yea, you do need to abolish the second amendment. No other OECD country has a 2nd Amendment-like provision AFAIK. This is a country drowning in 400 million + guns and a lot of these mass shooters have 0 priors or mental health red flags. Stronger regulations may help marginally, but they won't take us to where we really want to be.
it is for a republican guns don’t kill people, people do…this happened because a side door was unlocked like with Uvalde and *insert some other dumbass republican talking point
The problem is the guns. The House Rep for this area sent out Christmas cards this past year of the whole family holding assault rifles. That's the ****ing problem. There are too many guns. The party of indoctrination is the one that puts guns in the hands of their kids and thinks shouldn't get free lunches, or free public school, or learn about Rosa Parks but that a cute Christmas card idea is to take a picture holding matching rifles with the Mrs and your little urchins. American gun culture is a disease that leads to death over and over and over.
