Mass Violence in America: the All Inclusive Thread

[Iceman]

Ha! Silly boy! This is America! Home of mass shootings! Actually there is a sort of assault weapons ban going on its just being done state by state, there's nine states now with a full ban and I'm hoping it's a trend that continues.

Oh right, at least some movement on it then. Guess most of those aren’t Republican states.

I’ve only heard gunshots twice in my life. Once while spending the night in Chicago, the other time in the country during hunting season. The two places diametrically opposed to each other are the ones with the guns.

Lol, no they are not.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the number of deaths attributed to the Mexican drug cartels. In 2018, there were 33,341 drug related homicides in Mexico. This year so far, we’ve had more than 11,500 Americans killed in gun violence.

At that rate we'll come close to matching that, yeah.

The numbers are crazy.

I can’t get over the fact that people are so worried about drug cartels coming over the border but gun violence is practically shrugged off. Politics, as usual.

Nothing to see here, folks. Misdirection works.

He should be yelled at. Can't have a free for all with guns and then expect nothing bad to happen.

Stay classy Texas:

Militia training in schools now? Or are they to be first responders in shootings?

Sex-Ed is bad, learning how to keep your classmate from bleeding out after being shot is good.

 

[squeekness]

With the white race dwindling we can't afford to have our good teens preventing white births!

I've got MSNBC on right now, they are showing the mall as an active scene but haven't said anything about fatalities or wounded.

Why anyone would still live in Texas is beyond me. The power grid fails regularly. Guns are abundant and unregulated. And the governor cares more about pardoning a white supremacist than helping its citizens.
