We get it; you want to live in a police state.

We get it. You want to live in dystopia.

If you believe you're living in a dystopia now, you need a therapist and medication.

NP...

It's pretty dystopian that we allow people with known psychiatric issues to go out and buy military weaponry, extended mags and a thousand rounds of ammo.

It's pretty dystopian that we don't any way to track the straw buyers turning cities into war zones by flooding the streets with guns

It's pretty dystopian that we don't care if people are allowed to modify their guns to fire 800 rounds per minute

It's pretty dystopian that some heavily armed nutjob can go into a school and gun down a couple dozen kids and teachers and we just shrug and glibly say "tots and pears, nothing can be done"

That's all pretty sick... and I'm definitely not the one with the psychiatric problem here.

That pig Alex Jones is back on X.

Seeing those little children slaughtered was a day that lives in infamy for the US.

It felt like a turning point in history. Priorities were made clear. Solidified us on the dark timeline.

+1. A national shame.

This event was one of the times I have felt deep anger against my country and shame at being an American.

I was also thinking about how the kids who were killed should be seniors. However, you should not have mentioned your own senior on this thread. Way to make this about you! Not the time or place! Go brag in the college forum.

You, second poster, are definitely the AH. The poster with a high school senior was not bragging. They were realizing there is a whole classroom of families who should be celebrating a next chapter, and not reliving a terrible anniversary.

+1. I remember being sick to my stomach that day, i went to a business lunch and when i was going i got the news or a shooting and when it was over i found out that there were so kany deaths of kids that were my oldest’s age. I thought of leaving her at school that morning her classmates and thinking that those parents have done the very same thing that morning and now were going through the unspeakable. My then 7 yr old little girl is now a college freshman and just back from her first college semester. I actually thought of those kids yesterday who never got to grow up and and go to the prom, college, live in general, and to those parents who liked me should have hugged a teen in his senior year in HS or just back from college instead or looking at 11 yr old photos of little kids who will never turn 8. It’s beyond sad and al this because some aholes want to be rich pandering war weapons and other aholes need to compensate for their insignificance by owning war weapons

Honestly, as shocking as it was, I thought the real turning point was Columbine. This was worse on so many levels but just a different form of the same horror story.

Not all Americans. Most Americans understand why a citizen has no useful purpose for military grade firearms any more than they do grenades or atomic bombs unless you consider killing a few dozen innocent people in 45 seconds a useful purpose.

For some reason today, I just knew it. It’s the right amount of time before Christmas. I remember how it was 1000x sadder to happen during the holidays.

I *felt* it was the anniversary as I drove my kids to school.
