The Colorado Springs shooter had easy access to guns. The Denver shooter had easy access to guns. The Aberdeen shooter had easy access to guns. The Nashville shooter had easy access to guns.
What about the 100+ other shooting this year?
If we were ever stupid enough to let you fools take our guns surely nothing bad would happen. It's not like authoritarian governments have never done anything bad to an unarmed populace.
On the other hand we know if you make guns illegal it is 100% impossible for anyone to get their hands on them ever. That's why the shootings in Chicago have gone down so much as gun control has risen.
I am adamantly anti-gun and would love for all Red State, Blue State, Purple State, whatever state guns to be abolished. I don't want your gun; I want your gun melted and the metal refashioned as something of value, purpose, and, perhaps, beauty.
What do I think will happen when this occurs? A government takeover? What takeover would possibly happen that you haven't already readily collaborated in? We've given up any hope of a livable future by letting corporations pollute at will; we've given up our "privacy" by using credit cards, automatic toll-paying devices, cell phones, and social media; we've given up on a civil and meaningful public life by electing Right-wing frauds, dummies, and bullies at all levels of government (let's please not pretend that this is a both-sides phenomenon); we've given up on true public safety by arming our police to the teeth and permitting them to abuse and murder with near impunity.
What do you really think your dumb guns are protecting us from? You've already surrendered everything of value. We can't shoot our way out of the climate crisis; we can't shoot our way to authentic privacy; we can't shoot our way to a representative, equitable, functional democracy; and we sure as sh1t can't shoot our way to public safety. These problems, the real problems, aren't shootable, and yet you and others like you have mistaken the solution to them as a violent one.
In the meantime, as you wait like a street-corner end-times "prophet" for the big one, the government takeover, you seem perfectly happy to accept the deaths of tens of thousands of people a year, as though they are just collateral damage in your Alamo fantasy. They are, in a sense, pre-casualties in the great uprising you predict--the great uprising that will never happen and that these 9-year-old children in Nashville did not willingly enlist in. But they have died in the service of your fantasy and fear. What heroes they are.
12 kids a year getting shot while at school is a lot. The goal should be zero. That’s 1200% too high in any normal society.
You get that right? Or does it really seem normal to you that 12 kids in American should be statistically likely to get shot because it seems low compared to dogs and bees. Ridiculous.
The point was how rare it is.
How many people do you know that have been killed by a dog?
If the media sensationalized dog attacks they way they do school shootings people would be afraid to go outside.
The point is that 12 kids getting shot makes it insanely high and not rare enough. It should be zero like most places in the world. Also context is important. How many kids are getting killed at school by dogs?
This was a hateful ex Catholic girl that went to this school and turned trans. Not saying she was hateful and evil because she was trans, but that’s for the motive of the attack. I understand her frustration and anger, forcing to believe in some sky daddy to decide everyone’s fate. But I noticed this about liberals in America, they will be the first ones to attack Christianity and Catholicism but will be Uber silent when it comes to criticizing enormous anti-gay restrictions Muslim countries or Muslim communities with prison and even death sentences. Same goes for any criticism of Jewish people, their rules of being supreme in “the land of milk and honey” and whatever other arrogance is silent when being discussed amongst white liberals. America is a toxic, vile cesspool of right vs left and Republican vs Democrat where there is numerous hate like this, another example is the terrorist who shot up some gay club in 2022. And republicans, those greedy, delusional scumbags won’t enact gun legislation to make it harder for terrorists like the one today and the one in Colorado last year to acquire weapons. What we will be seeing on the news is right wing channels obsessing over the motives of this vile woman on the news and ignoring the problem of little gun restrictions , and left wing news completely ignoring the motives of this vile woman on the news and only talking about gun control. America is destroying itself from within.
Congratulations for making the only sensible post on the topic. American politics is like watching two drunk football fans argue about whose team is better while the rational individual who knows football is dumb as hell. The majority of people are independent, yet somehow we get this garbage world where we are forced to argue about issues manufactured by fringe groups instead of solving actual problems.
As for why liberals embrace Islam, it's identity politics or more simply "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Once Christianity is defeated, they will turn on each other.
Guns do not kill people, people kill people. This person was deranged and despicable. All of the people I know who own guns are responsible people. I wish there had been a good guy with a gun in between this lunatic and the innocents.

The only answer is more good guys with guns. Once we meet a critical mass we can start defending the youth unlike the so called “police.”

Or we can be like virtually all our peer nations and control the ownership of guns. Then, like our peer nations, we’d stop dying of gunshots so often.

Yes, give all the “good guys” guns. Just be careful that they are all “good guys” and don’t at some point have a bad day and hope they maintain their mental stability their whole lives. We need more guns in the hands of good guys!!!
