Bleh, it sucks to find out about another school shooting this way. I’m glad they do this though.

Same here. Had to look up the story. Ugh…

You’d think I’d be numb to it by now, but my heart breaks every time.

Young teenagers murdering people. So crazy.

You can just assume that since it’s a day ending in “y” there has been another mass shooting in America

Yeah those dangerous illegal aliens coming up and killing our families meanwhile the children are killing more of our families than the aliens. Fuck the GOP, and fuck the 2nd amendment.

I’m far left, but I actually don’t hate on the 2nd Amendment. It was a pivotal moment in US history, fortifying the power of the people and its rule over government.

But at the time the 2nd Amendment was written, the most powerful weapon that the average person would have had access to was the flintlock musket. The flintlock had a relatively short effective range of around 50 to 100 yards and took time to reload after each shot.

It would stand to reason that much stronger laws are required to compensate for the amount of fire power available to people now.

What they need to do is make guns gay, then watch how quick they’re banned.

What’s the internet rule that there is porn for everything you can think of? There has to be gun fetish gay porn. All sane Americans need to do is get whoever is more influential than Dan Savage to give the movement legs ala “Santorum”

Not too hard, the things are often phallic shaped and you gotta stroke its trigger to get it to release its load everywhere. Just saying.

Make all guns require the grip to be shaped like a cock so homophobes will refuse to hold them.

Or even better, they come with a phallus-shaped mouthpiece attached that needs to be sucked on in order to allow the gun to fire…

I can come up with these all day lol

The new face of violent radicalism in the United States: aggrieved, rural, white “Future Farmers of America” Trump kids raised by white, rural, aggrieved Trump parents that don’t keep their guns secure.

Edit: yes, he was part of FFA. He was “member of the month” last month.

I couldn’t believe that they released his name like that. Totally out of line by whatever department decided to do that.

Yes it’s odd, given how just before this that football player was shot in San Francisco by a 17 year old. There was a big to-do about will he be tried as an adult and they won’t release his name because he’s a minor. In this case they released his name right away and said he would be tried as an adult even though he’s only 14.

your statement is true however that doesn’t mean that correlation does not imply cause… the cause is fucking obvious to anyone that has more than 2 brain cells to rub together

Now I know emotions are all running high, and we’re all shocked and scared by yet another senseless act of violence (or mental illness if white, act of terror if brown). However, now is not the time to start talking about things like “gun control” and “approval lists.” How about we schedule sometime on March 31st around 7:30am EST and we can all sit down for 15 minutes and discuss ways to prevent the next tragedy. However I cannot stress it enough that NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO POLITICIZE THIS.

It’s telling that they even mention politicizing it. Like… why would something like that even need to be “political” at all, unless…?

Before we say the words “gun control,” can we think about the poor ammunition assembly line workers, who have to work mandatory overtime due to the demand, each time those words are said?

No, we have to pray first. Give me your thoughts. They’re needed before we make the monthly (weekly??? Daily???) sacrifice of children in this country.
