Odd interpretation of an innocent comment. You could make your same point without the snark and hyperbole. |
How vile thou art. |
It's kinda true though. |

How many murders will it take before the US public decides that we need to ban handguns and assault weapons permanently in the US?
And if you want a hunting rifle, you need to go through extensive training before getting a license. No more conceal carry for anyone. If a police officer wears a gun, it's visible. Switzerland has more guns per capita than almost any other country, yet no mass shootings in more than 20 years. They also have mandatory military service, where everyone who serves is taught to shoot a gun properly. And you need a permit to own a gun, except for a few hunting rifles. https://www.theyucatantimes.com/2022/05/switzerland-has-a-high-rate-of-gun-ownership-but-no-mass-shootings/ |
And the year isn't over yet. Even if you are a gun owner, are you wearing it while dancing? Would your gun have stopped the mass shooter in the nightclub? I think not. Not having a gun would have stopped that shooter. The gun manufacturers grabbed onto a false interpretation of the Second Amendment (which includes the word "militia" for a reason) in order to sell more guns. And they convinced a majority of conservative SCOTUS justices (including Scalia) to expand the meaning of the Second Amendment to allow individuals to own and carry guns everywhere, even though that had NEVER been their right. The gun manufacturers do not care that hundreds of Americans die each year because of the misuse of their products. If they were baby product manufacturer,s they'd have been sued into bankruptcy by now. Every one of us is vulnerable to a mass shooting every single day, and it's getting worse and worse and worse. Why do we tolerate this madness? Go the get gas or buy some groceries or to a movie or a nightclub, and you're playing Russian Roulette with your life? Why? Guns. Get rid of all these guns, and no more mass shootings, OK? |
It’s 100% true Which makes this country vile, not the poster |
| Shooter made a bomb threat last year and they dropped all charges https://krdo.com/news/top-stories/2021/06/19/bomb-threat-in-lorson-ranch-neighborhood-friday-night/ |
GOP aid not all of America! Republicans value gun ownership/rights over people’s lives. |
Guy was crazy and radicalized by rightwing media. It’s stochastic terrorism.

I read this comment in the same way. Saying “no matter who the victims are” makes you sound like you think these lives are not the same value as as others. |
| NO MORE GUNS!!!!!!!!! |
Of course! |
From articles about the threat: "Around 1:56 p.m. on Friday, June 18th, deputies were called to the 9800 block of Rubicon Drive because of a bomb threat. The person who called EPSO said that her son had threatened to hurt her with a homemade bomb, multiple weapons, and ammunition. When she called, the person who made the report was not at home and didn’t know where her son was." |
