|
|
I keep hearing "Now is not the time." When will the time come? Seems as though there's a mass shooting every day.
CNN reported automatic like weapons were used.
Something has to be done. The second amendment wasn't written to bolster what some are advocating.
Yes, gun ownership is a right. What kind of gun needs to be addressed.
Two dead and over 20 injured in Miami mass shooting, police say

Mass shootings are so last year . . . and this year . . . and probably next year.
They're here to stay . . . similar to racism, skinny jeans, and online infuencers. _________________ Garvey, Lopes, Cey, Russell |

Another happened yesterday in Springfield. I think mass shootings should have a thread of its own
.DeWine: 2 in custody after mass shooting injures 6 in Springfield; News conference set for this afternoon
LINK
Side Note: I ink this in wonder if the latest scrutiny on the police has caused a change in policy?
Watching NBC2 news today. A police chase ended in a standoff on the 101 freeway. After taking the suspect into custody the police asked for a mental health unit. I don't remember that happening before. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I meant that’s where we are as a society. Shootings are the stories that end news as oppose to leading. Sadly |

And another...
Quote: | 3 People Are Killed, Others Hurt In A Shooting At A Miami Area Graduation Party

One of those killed was a state corrections officer, Miami-Dade police Director Freddie Ramirez told news outlets. He said the party at a strip mall lounge was ending when one or more vehicles "pulled up and began to fire into the crowd."
The identities of those killed and wounded were not immediately released Sunday. The shooting happened about 2 a.m. in the suburb of Kendall. |

4 mass shootings in 6 hours leave 38 wounded, 6 dead across US
https://abcnews.go.com/US/mass-shootings-hours-leave-39-wounded-dead-us/story?id=78252429
At least four major U.S. cities were reeling from an onslaught of mass shootings over the weekend that left at least 38 people wounded, six dead and police officials alarmed that the surge in gun violence is a prelude to a bloody summer as the nation emerges from the pandemic.
Police in Austin, Cleveland, Chicago and Savannah were all investigating on Sunday mass shootings that erupted over a six-hour streak that began around 9 p.m. on Friday and spilled over into Saturday morning. |
"At least 4 major U.S. cities" .. ELI5?? So beyond these 4 there could be more cities during the June 11-13th weekend where there were more mass shootings?.. |

And the beat goes on. Another mass shooting. I think the father should be held accountable. IMO the 2nd amendment should be amended.
Y'all know me. I wonder, what's the race of the person taken into custody and does it make a difference? I'll give you 3 guesses the first 2 don't count.
At least 3 students dead, 8 injured in Michigan high school shooting; father of suspect purchased gun, authorities say

Quote: | Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said it received over 100 calls about an active shooter starting around 12:51 p.m. local time. Within three minutes, the suspect was in custody, McCabe said. |

Saw earlier a comparison.. Republican would rather have your child learning school shooter drills and be in terror than just push background checks and minor gun control measures
What a (bleep) up country.. how did politicians get control of guns and pharmaceuticals and religion.. |

They'd rather see their kids killed in a school shooting than be taught the truth about US history in regards to race.

What better truth for the GOP to hide than the one that shows them as the asshats they really are?
If the truth is an incovenience, then fabricate your own . . . per the GOP modus operandi. |

Umm, pretty sure the significance here is that the "tool" destroyed the futures of the four families of the kids he murdered and ended theirs. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
