Because no one checks the transport of goods as we drive across borders and it’s stupid easy to get a gun from Alabama where you can buy a gun easier than a snicker’s bar and drive it up to Rhode Island.

Can you say a little more about why you posted this?


Exactly. Why?


To illustrate that school shootings and long lockdowns are not a one-off in the US, particularly when the shooter doesn't commit suicide or get shot by police.


But they are much much more common. This is stupid.

This is like the anti seatbelt morons back in the day. BUT SOMEONE ONE DIES WHILE WEARINF A SEATBELT, SEE THEM THAR SEATBEKTS DINT WERK!

The backlash to this is going to end up being a repeal on the 2nd because these children in the GOP couldn’t stop with the gun lobby money for 5 seconds.



Which is exactly why I’ve come to accept and somewhat tolerate these shootings, because what I want more than anything is to abolish the second amendment.

At the risk of sounding callous and cruel, I hope these shootings continue on right up until we as a culture decide to eliminate gun owning. Because if shootings become less frequent over time, we will lose a lot of the public sentiment and inertia we’ve built up to banning guns. So as perverse as it sounds, if you’re someone who wants to get rid of guns, you need to embrace these shootings as a necessary evil. The end goal is what’s important. No great movement in history is achieved without pain. The civil rights struggle and LGBTQIA rights struggle are the most recent examples. People died to achieve those victories, and ending gun ownership is no different. Unfortunately more people will need to die to achieve that goal.



Thanks for letting us know that you want more people to die in order to support your most cherished political positions.

I’m guessing though that you and your family are not among the ones you’re willing to sacrifice to achieve your “victory.”



Because nothing worthwhile is achieved without sacrifice, unfortunately. I can tell you're very emotional about this, and that’s understandable. But you need to be more pragmatic in your outlook.

If civil rights protesters in Selma weren’t willing to be lynched and murdered, we would still be living under Jim Crow. If LGBTQIA persons hadn’t rioted at Stonewall, we’d still be living in world without rights. Every great societal shift requires a cost of lives. This is no different. These shootings unfortunately must continue in order to achieve the goal of a society without guns.



Are you sacrificing your child?


This is a very dumb argument at best.

But really, it’s specious and the actual definition of straw-man.

Thanks for educating us from the safety of your parents’ basement. From that safe haven, you can sit cool, calm, and collected, studying the situation “pragmatically.”

Let me guess - once we’ve disarmed the great unwashed citizenry, it will still be ok to have an armed to the teeth government, led of course by Democrats?



Your thoughts come to screen as the rantings of teenager.

And yes, nothing would be better for this country than to have imbeciles like your disarmed for the safety of all of us. Because you sound exactly like the sort of person who commits these shootings.

And yes, again - the police and military are the only ones who should be armed, ever. And a representative government entirely composed of elected Democrats would be the best possible solution for fixing this mess.

If it happens, I would take solace in knowing they died to achieve a greater good for society.

You are unhinged. Charlie Kirk also celebrated mass shootings as a necessary evil in order to advance his political goals. And look what happened to him.

After Sandy Hook, I completely gave up on the possibility of sensible gun control in this country. If the mass murder of a bunch of little kids didn't motivate Republicans to at least put some sensible and common sense rules into place, nothing will. Republicans are nuts when it comes to guns. And no tragedy will change their opinion. They immediately think if only there was a kid in the classroom with a Glock, the problem would be solved. That's how Republicans think. There is no reasoning with Republicans today. They are so far gone.

Looks the shooter at Brown is a white male in his 30s who was picked up at a Hampton Inn. So he traveled to do this. I suspect it's unlikely he's a disgruntled student with mental issues that snapped. More likely, he's another MAGA loser brainwashed by Silicon Valley algorithms. And that's the real enemy today - Silicon Valley. Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Peter Thiel - these are the men shaping all these extremists.

It's amazing that Kash hasn't leaked any details before they are cleared for release to the public. And no pics of him standing around in a borrowed FBI jacket pretending to be in charge.


At least we know it's a male in all black clothing with a mask and carrying a gun.



That’s pretty much the standard maga uniform.

So I think we can draw some conclusions now.

You misspelled gun control.


ah yes gun control because criminals will willingly give up their guns


Clearly you don't understand gun control.


Clearly you don’t understand how many guns are in America. They’re impossible to control.


Thanks for proving my point.


The point is that there is no way to tell where almost all 400M guns are. There is no way to control them if you can’t find them.


And you keep on going…

We get it. You don’t understand what gun control means.

Ignorant people shouldn’t get a vote.


I understand what you think gun control is. You seem to think it can work. It’s unrealistic.


No, you clearly don’t.

What part of gun control calls for “finding” 400m guns?


With 400M guns in circulation gun contol has no control.


Nobody needs a semi automatic, get rid of them.


+1 I agree. Also, people wirh significant mental health issues should be hospitalized or living in strictly supervised group homes for life ( example-- the schizophrenic woman who recently stabbed a mother in Macys. She should not have been free to harm others when she "heard voices".)


Absolutely, positively not.

A majority of people who suffer from mental health conditions are not dangerous and will live their entire lives without hurting ANYONE at all.

But you want to punish all THOSE people who are no danger to anyone, and deny them their rights and freedom, in order to stop a small minority of mentally unwell people who *might* be a danger to others?

So everyone should be punished for the sake of the actions of a few?

This is some whack-ass MAGA logic bullsh!t.

You’re a stupid MFR.

Someone on this thread said a professor connected to the economics class was Jewish ... but, if that's what you're going to do, in my memory there is a still very serious orthodox Jewish community right up the road only a few miles away, complete with synagogue and Hebrew school.

I don't think they've moved since I was there, even if it was 30 years ago.

I agree with the speculation that the shooter must be white, since they're so far saying nothing about race.

Maybe hate all liberals and smart people or something? Brown is well known to be one of the most liberal Ivies? Last time I checked?



There is the possibility that there really isn’t a motive specific to the location and the person is just crazy. That has been the case plenty of times.


I guess so ... but then why just not shoot up an Olive Garden or open fire at the nearby mall

This does seem pretty niche
