‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
Just absolutely mind boggling how frequently this happens and literally nothing is being done about it. What a sick country.
“They ARE doing something about it. Financing the whole thing!”.
No they are not. You seem also out of control, buddy.
It’s all a mix of the second ammendment, their interpretation & execution of that law, a dominant military and guns lobby system (Billionaire$); people loving their guns, no access to good (mental) health care, which allthogether is holding their country hostage, imho.
So yeah, its all out of control. And nothing has changed, except that it’s getting worse.
add.(mental) healthcare
Part 1:
No they are not
Part 2:

LOL
For all its foibles and peculiarities, the US’ apparently almost fetishistic relationship with guns is far and away the hardest for me to understand as an outside observer.
Trust me, I live here and I don’t get it either. And when you ask people they’ll tell you they have guns because other people have guns so they need it for protection. So you guys all have guns because you’re scared other people have guns?? Great recipe.
Play by the rules of the game you’re playing.
Not the rules of the game you want to play.
If only the crazies have guns, they’re going to start acting a lot crazier. Does it magically make everything safer to have your own? Obviously not. Statistically you’re more likely to shoot yourself.
But until we pass actual gun control, it’s hard to judge someone for having a gun.
I bought my first gun right after the fat dipshit won the 2016 election. I realized that there were many more hateful, violent, dumbasses here than I’d ever imagined. I lived in a very red county at the time and I didn’t think it was impossible that they might “leak” lists of registered non-Republican voters’ info along with stochastic terroristic speech like “it’d be nice if my supporters who also support the 2nd amendment could do something about these misguided people.”
I’m less worried about that now for various reasons, but we’re not completely out of the fascist woods yet. There’s a deep, festering rot and we’ve only treated symptoms. Until we address campaign finance, education funding, disinformation, and stronger market regulation and trust busting, we’re just kicking the can down the road.
Why not buy a bulletproof vest instead? Fighting fire with fire is not always the most efficient…
I remember seeing some sort of huge bulletproof blanket used by Japanese police to apprehend armed peoples. They hide behind that blanket and run towards the gunner to wrap them in it. The good side is that the gunner can be arrested alive for trial.
I don’t know if it was just a concept or of its really in use…
Just look at the guns these zealots buy. Big and black. Combine that with the typical racialized sexual insecurities of the white male conservative American, which as a group is becoming more and more incel because no woman in this day and age wants anything to do with them.
You think conservatives are buying big black guns because they’re thinking about big black cocks?
Business idea: put white cerakote on big guns to sell to these weirdos, and use phallic sexual marketing tactics with undertones of their stupid replacement theory.
Well my opinion is based on data. There’s a reason why you don’t see these incel shooters buying snub nose revolvers or ultra compacts. And yes, I do think those types of guys spend way more time thinking about what’s in other dude’s pants than is healthy.

“Fifteen people were killed and 94 injured across 13 states as well as Washington DC”.
These massshootings are so out of control…
Meanwhile, over 500 people have been killed by police in 2023 so far, and yet we never hear the president comment on that. Maybe we should be disarming the police?
Why? Lots of people have guns, and almost all of them are never a problem to anyone. Perhaps we should look into why violence happens and address those root causes and of course disarm the police because their only purpose is violence.
Everyone having guns is the sole reason there’s so many police shootings. Nothing is going to change until the general population is unarmed.
