He killed a Korean family and an Indian woman.

This community has a vibrant and growing affluent Asian and Indian population, including Asian-owned businesses (and landlords).

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the racial/ethnic motive.

More info on the family. So horrible even for the little boy who survived.

Can the boy stay in the us or is his only extended fam in Korea?

The families of victims need to be able to sue the manufacturers of assault weapons. Remove the profitability of those weapons. It’s the only chance we have of making real change.

Mass shootings have happened in states like CA where it is more difficult to purchase a gun.

Mental healthcare is important, but it won’t be enough either. The parents of the recent TN shooter were on top of their kid’s mental health. Nonetheless…

We need to find a way for people who are truly worried about individuals to flag them so they can’t access guns and any weapons they already have can be taken away. Sadly, even that isn’t foolproof.

And remember: while mass shootings are the most terrifying since anyone could be at the wrong place at the wrong time, most shootings are suicides and individual run of the mill violence. Both tend to involve basic hand guns.

It’s all bad. The genie is out of the bottle. There’s no easy solution.

If banning weapons won't prevent these shootings, what is the point of banning them?

It will reduce them. Other measures will further reduce the shootings. But to say "it's pointless" is stupid.

I think this is the only realistic way to even begin to stuff the genie back into the bottle.

It won't work -at first- b/c there are too many out there. Thanks, Republicans.

But over time, those will age out, you have gun buybacks, etc. And those numbers will go down. Maybe not in my lifetime as I'm older. But over time.

And if SCOTUS and our government can regain their brain cells and their balls on the issue, we may be able to move a bit faster.

But wait, isn't the problem with assault-rifle-delivered mass shootings "mental health"? Why should limit access to more assault rifles?

After all, who are we to limit mass shooters from the assault rifles they desire?

MAGA!

It’s okay to ban guns at CPAC and the NRC though.

The shooter hated drag queen story hour, just like the Republicans talk about hating.

Not so subtle dog whistle. What makes you think they don’t have extended family in TX?

Sandy Hook parents have started this process… there’s a slight chance this could happen.

Just as I’ve been saying for a long time: LibzOfTikTok is a gateway to more extremist rightwing content. Everyone I know who loves that account is subtly bigoted.

Good job, Chaya.

Perhaps dems should take republicans at their word and propose some bills to require extensive mental health exams before you can get a firearms license, with annual re-exams.

I want to scream and cry. 2 little girl sisters killed. Their mother in critical condition. A little boy who just lost his whole family. This is so sick! My heart seriously cannot take this anymore. I don’t understand how gun control isn’t the top voting issue for anyone in this country who isn’t a complete sociopath. We are a country in crisis.

Here’s an easy mental health test. The kind of people who want to own assault weapons are the exact people we shouldn’t be selling them to. Has anyone ever given a reasonable explanation as to why civilians need to own military grade assault weapons? You can’t hunt with them. You don’t need an assault weapon to kill a single intruder. No, assault weapons are only for killing many people very quickly. Red flag right there.

I can tell you don't own a firearm.

They are hunting rifles. And, many people buy them for self defense.
These are not "military grade assault weapons."
Study up.

I’m not going to study up, sicko. Keep telling yourself that these guns are purposeful to civilians. They aren’t. Kids are getting their faces blown off because of your right to own an assault weapon. You have blood on your hands.

This is a typically weak retort. Self defense against what? How did people hunt before AR-15’s?
