Assailant shot and killed by officers. Possibly female teen with handgun and a pair of assault rifles.

Entered a school and started firing.

Sad.

Katty Kay (formerly of BBC) put it well:

America's exceptional problem is incomprehensible to other nations.



I wonder if those congress folks who proudly wore AR-15 pins will continue to do so this week.

Those deranged and corrupt assholes were bought out by the gun lobby. Most of them would shoot their own mothers if the NRA paid them a few more millions.

They would never wear pins of the names of the children who were murdered at Sandy Hook.

Looks like the past student shooter was molested by the church linked to the school.
These religious freaks are the real groomers.

There are stories from ten years ago related to this

Cross-over.

Who is the Nashville school shooter who killed six at private Christian school?

Police identified the attacker as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, 28, a transgender man who was assigned female at birth. Hale entered the Covenant school with an AR-style rifle, and AR-style pistol, and another handgun, police said.

The Beeb in moral turmoil over which pronouns to use. For the most part, they're sticking to 'shooter' and 'suspect.'

 
bdaTryangle 2023-03-28 12:17:07 

Great, now the shooter being transgender is going to mean that the political rhetoric is going to be even higher (and nuttier) than usual.

The right wing NRA gun nuts and their deranged politicians will gladly have the focus on anything but guns, the shooting, or the victims.

I’m willing to bet the NRA has an internal memo given to its members for talking points and sound bites after a mass shooting and the assailant is white:

1. Thoughts and prayers
2. Mental health issues
3. Freedom!
4. Video games and TV
5. God in schools
6. Democrats
7. Liberals
8. Social Media
9. Freedom!

If the shooter is black:

1. We need to get tough on crime
2. Death penalty
3. Chicago

1a: Time to stop gang violence/inner city violence. Hire 2000 more cops and build 20 more prisons.

I think most of us know that the US isn't changing its stance. 2A is equivalent to breathing to them, so in the meantime they need to come up with some alternative that will help just a little bit. Biden's assault weapons bill won't go anywhere; they will argue all day and nothing will be resolved.


Edited to add: Rep Tim Burchett has no solutions... except a 'Christian revival', perhaps

They can ban:

"CRT"
Abortion
Drag shows

They cannot ban:

Guns

I dunno. I just dunno.

There are already guns that are illegal to own. Americans cannot buy Uzis. Or RPGs. There are already restrictions.

Why they clinging to ARs?

Burchett doubles down on his stance

"The people doing the praying aren’t the ones doing the shooting."


What sort of meaningless nonsense is this?

 
doosra 2023-03-30 16:29:05 

>400m guns in America?

woa

The actual number is probably double that.

In the past is was fear of the Red man. Without the gun they couldn't have annihilated, displaced, and stolen the land from the Indigenous peoples.

Now, it's fear of anyone who isn't White.

The gun is now firmly a symbol of White Supremacy in Dumbfcukingstan. It's the White man's constitutional right to own a gun and protect his property from "others". And it's why Republicans will never ever allow gun laws that restricts access to and ownership of things like the AR-15.
