Mass Shooting Thread: Waiting on the next one.

[05fordgt]

Well, this is in the spinless dopes McConnell & Paul's state. I'm sure the rinse & repeat "thoughts and prayers" line will be coming out via their twitter feeds any moment now. They are so ******* useless, I swear! This will NEVER stop happening in the US. It's only going to get worse and worse. And I honestly think for the GOP to actually give a damn and try and help curb mass shootings, im guessing, they may care if it was a GOP family member affected by said violence sadly. Then something "MAY" get done. But probably not. They love their gun lobby money more than their own family it seems (Cruz blaming his kids for going on vacation when the state had no power and no heat is a prime example of party over family. What a POS).

Whenever they say "at least ___ have been killed/injured" I always hold my breath.

My dad lives there. Know exactly where it happened. Go to games at that ballpark several times a year. I just do not understand how this continues to happen, and nothing is ever done about it.

Sounds like it could have been a disgruntled worker or something. That's immediate;y what my kinds goes to when they report that it took place "inside a facility and there was one shooter."

I'm sorry to hear that buddy. You're absolutely right. Nothing will ever happen. Did the info come out in regards to the weapon used? If it was yet another shooting using an AR-15....

You know, I asked a 2A loving gun nut who I know and was once friendly with (before he went down TFG rabbit hole) why anyone needs an AR. His reply was "because the 2A allows me to have one". So he couldn't actually answer it with a thoughtful and legitimate reason. Just word salad.

F these people who need these weapons. I'm totally fine with handguns. You want one, no problem at all. But an AR? Who or what are you shooting at if you need that? Definitely not hunting with it (hunters have said it shreds the target so you won't get any deer meat using it).

 

[heelsandeers]

Certainly a large part of the equation and hand in hand with guns as a way for Republican politicians to attract support

Easy to forget that guns were not always politicized. The NRA used to be pro-gun control

It wasn't until the 1970s that guns started to become a political tool in America

The gun craze in this country started around the same time as the abortion craze. Part of the same Southern Strategy to rebrand whiteness as "culture"

Not a coincidence that originalism, the Religious Right, and lunatic NRA all showed up at more or less the same time

From the article..:
" a water bottle reportedly was thrown from Hale's truck. WTLV-TV reports Allison responded by grabbing a handgun and firing a shot.

That shot hit Hale's 5-year-old daughter

Allison originally was charged with attempted murder. But prosecutors have dropped that charge, citing Florida's “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law based on the throwing of the bottle."

WILD. Driver responded to the water bottle being thrown by shooting back at the other car and shot and killed the child. That shooter who killed the child is PROTECTED under that law.

Greatest country on earth though.

I haven't seen it yet officially if they did say. And that's the same argument I always hear. "Because I'm allowed to." No legitimate reason. Any time I've countered with "you can't protect your family with any number of other guns that weren't built specifically for war?" they come right back with 2a nonsense.

This must be a requisite for being a southern republican rep

 

[05fordgt]

Looks like it came out that the shooter used, you'll never guess....an AR-15!



Not sure if this has been 100% verified, but it wouldn't surprise me if one was used.

Unfortunately even red flag law is pointless if the police force refuses to enforce it like some do.
