Reports of five dead and six injured by a shooter at a bank in Louisville. Maybe red states will start to change their view if more shootings happen in their states? Thoughts and prayers aren’t working, so it’s long past time to try something else.
I’m sorry for the victims and families (unless they’re anti gun control in which case you get what you get.) How much worse will it get before it gets better? Columbine should have been enough, and definitely Sandy Hook. Maybe it’s time to start posting pictures of the carnage so people will start to understand the damage guns do, especially assault rifles. Nothing else is working. |
With Florida just legalizing carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, red states clearly DGAF. I see mass shootings increasing because “freedom and rights”. |
Ah it’s not a Monday without a shooting! |
Mute Mitch might be forced to say something?! |
The shooter is dead too |
![]() I am not making light. This is unacceptable and should shock our conscience every single time. I'm heartbroken for the loss of life. And just sick and tired |
I think you are misreading the political climate in red states. The answer in most will be to expand conceal carry and limit places that ban conceal carry. Not any other gun control. |
Red states already have higher rates of gun violence and death: accident, homicide, and suicide. It doesn't matter, for several reasons: feelings about the second amendment, thinking they won't be affected (especially since blue cities in red states have a lot of the homicides and rural white voters distance themselves from that), huge campaign contributions from groups that oppose even very popular and minor changes to gun laws |
That is a lot of statements with no support. |
Thoughts and prayers |
And yet, the death rates from firearms in red states are higher (do you dispute that?) and they are not passing laws to change that...if anything, going to more open carry.and easier permits for young adults or no permits required at all. To what do you attribute that? |
Apparently a former employee of the bank.
Circumstances don’t matter, though, nothing will change. |
Lack of investment in general education, healthcare, jobs, anything that helps people. |
After the school shooting in Tenn - the state wants to increase guns and have security / police armed outside every school. In their mind, the answer to school shootings is not less guns - it is more guns. |
Thanks, my initial guess had been a robbery. |
