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.

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.

Idiocy. More concealed carry DOES NOT reduce crime.

The shooter always dies. It's become normalized. "I have big feelings. I'll go get a gun that I can buy very easily and shoot people, then myself, and/or get shot in the process." How does this help

Unless the shooter is white, in which case they are taken for fast food before arraignment, get a slap on the wrist for their crimes, and then go into the conservative talk radio / podcast circuit.

They will ignore this latest mass shooting... UNLESS they discover the shooter was LGBT or something...

It’s really disappointing that the political thread was locked in favor of this one in off topics.

What a weird take. People are dead, families will never again see loved ones and you think this is a time to grandstand about.... gay people. Are you trying to live up to the stereotype?

What kind of mind game/gaslighting are you playing here? The right typically ignores these shootings, screams not to politicize them etc. But one trans person is the vile shooter, and they couldn't shut the eff up about it.
Different poster, btw.

I listened to the governor’s comments.

He sounded fairly moderate. He talked about the police keeping the people of Louisville safe.

Refreshing to hear a Democrat praise the police.

Different poster too. You too don't get it. STFU and let people grieve before you use their loved one's death for yourself.

Yep--typical kick it down the road mentality. There is a shooting nearly every week. There is no time to pause. We do get it: you don't. There is a large part of the population who wants to pretend these shootings are meaningless or just collateral damage. The one time a shooter fit their villain profile, THEN they wanted to talk. But not about guns and violence, of course. Only "transgenderism."

So why don't you, as you so charmingly say, "STFU" unless you have something of value to add.

Sadly, I fear that will make the Rs in KY even more resolute to not let this change anything.

+1

But it doesn’t matter. Governor Lee’s wife had a friend who was killed in the Nashville shooting. Rep. Scalise almost died. They still don’t care.

It’s not about caring or not caring.
Yes we clearly need to enact more bans on access to guns and step up other protocols for identifying individuals who might be a risk.


But to get rid of guns all together isn’t going to happen.
Besides the 2nd amendment which other amendment are you ok with getting rid of?
Because that’s really the heart of the issue.

Neither political party is willing to alter an amendment bc once you start then it it’s a slippery slope.

No one is saying “get rid of guns all together.” We are saying that military-style assault rifles should not be readily available to
everyone

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.

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?

I question everything when not supported.

California has had 25 mass shooting since 1982 - the most of any state. Last I checked it was not a red state.

Umm,,,for 24 of those 40 years CA had a Republican for governor

Hot Dam!

There's been another Louisville shooting - this one at a community college:

"A man is dead and a woman wasinjured in a shooting outside Jefferson Community and Technical College Monday morning, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department.

The call came in about 11:07 a.m. about a shooting at the JCTC building at Eighth and West Chestnut Streets."

Our well-regulated militias need better regulation.

No but it is the direction we are headed. And faster with shootings like this.

Thanks, my initial guess had been a robbery.

The thing about these shootings is that they're all based on emotional and psychological issues.

and all involve guns

All involve CRIMINALS.

Why do you always ignore that part? Doesn’t fit your political agenda here on DCUM ?
