Guns killing people isn’t political

It sure is political when you have a party in power trying to make sure there’s guns everywhere.

The big part of the story is people were killed by the truck. Two officers were also shot (and luckily seem to be stable).

No, the big part of the story is that gun nutters didn’t even wait 4 hours into 2025 before killing a crowd of people.

The big part of the story is that only the truck driver was killed by a gun Unlike the guns murders today in the US

I can make it political. The federal government declared that this act, which killed and injured dozens of innocent people, is not terrorism. Meanwhile, the federal government also recently declared the the death of one health insurance CEO is a vile act of terrorism for which they are pursuing the death penalty. The Biden Administration also recently commuted the death sentences of dozens of mass murderers. For the Biden administration, terrorism only occurs if the victim (just one) is a very rich man. How is not political?

It’s political because the political party that will soon be fully running our nation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the gun industry and the NRA. And they want to see stuff like this happening everywhere. They are fueled by spilled blood. They are literally satanic. Guns everywhere. Death everywhere. Live sacrificed to guns. Guns guns guns.

Americans don’t value life. It is like fast fashion. Here today tossed tomorrow.

I think you meant car enthusiasts, since that was the weapon that killed people.

Maybe we should outlaw cars.

Cars have license plates and require a driver to be licensed. Let’s start there.

You mean like the 14 year olds who high Jack cars have driver’s licenses?

How are there not concrete barriers or retractable ones like in DC around pedestrian areas. Bourbon St on NYE and no barriers? Even just parking some cruisers on both ends of the main pedestrian areas?

There are these barriers on Bourbon street, yet were down during the incident. Wonder why...

You do realize he carried out this attack with a truck, right?

Be shot at police and had bombs. This was also a gun crime.

Do you know who runs New Orleans and the police?

No, enlighten me...

The police chief, mayor, and city council president are all women.

They were removed for repairs. Evidently, New Orleans' "leadership" did not do planning for safety.

They are saying it was a rental EV truck so the Mexico trip could have been someone else

BBC and CBS have reported the name, but I've not seen info regarding citizenship or military history.
