Strunk'sDessert Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 (edited) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67224544 Another tragic shooting. We already know the response or lack thereof.. Have yet to hear of a hero with a semi- automatic weapon stopping anyone with an equal weapon or anything beyond heavy police response stopping them. Some might like to think of Maine as hippy country, which it is to a degree, but those hippies are armed to the nth degree - may even put to the south to shame in firearms. Didn't matter in this instance, nor will it ever matter as long as they're allowed. Can't wait for the the idiot puppets to spew their talking points in about 12 hours.

nine Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 How could this be? Did this shooter not understand the nation’s strict and aggressive “thoughts and prayers” laws that were authored specifically for the purpose of preventing such tragedies?

begooode Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 (edited) Compared to the rando shooter, this guy has military training and I'm worried his capture might be messy. Edited October 26 by begooode nine 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamalisms Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 No surprise, just disgust and sadness. At least it wasn't a school this time. Another crazy person with a gun. Let's not try and take the gun away. Let's try and make sure nobody is ever crazy again. That'll work. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans want to deflect attention away from the ridiculously lax gun laws and blame it on mental health issues.....okay, fine. If that's the case....then surely the Republicans are proposing sweeping healthcare legislation that will help people with mental health issues get the help they need.....right? Nope....not a fucking word. Conservatives are always preaching about the importance of protecting the children......especially when it comes to drag queens, LGBTQ, healthcare, and anything remotely related to gender identity. Meanwhile..... in the United States, guns are now the #1 leading cause of death for children under the age of 18. And Republicans aren't saying a fucking word.

As long as they have the “it’s a mental health problem” argument to fall back on they can pretend that it isn’t actually the guns. So they have no incentive to actually do anything to try to alleviate the mental health problem, otherwise they might actually have to do something to solve the gun problem next.

The Covenant School shooting in Nashville a few months ago perfectly captured the Republicans’ unwillingness to take any measures whatsoever to curtail gun violence and mass shootings. Within days of that shooting, the Tennessee state legislature quickly passed a resolution barring the introduction of any legislation related to gun laws…. followed by the suspension and quick expulsion of those who demanded the issue be brought to the floor. That’s the Republican policy in a nutshell: if they ignore the issue hard enough, the problem will simply go away.
