This wasn’t a mass shooting by a lunatic. This was a shootout between two or more dipshits. Two totally different categories of problems.

Oh i see now. This shooting where kids got shot is different from the other shootings where kids got shot so i should feel better about it. Got it.

    The "we can't solve 100% of the problem so we shouldn't make any attempt at all" line of thinking is a big reason why we are where we are.

Well you gotta remember, it'd have to be your school to be considered a kid's shooting.  But in this case, we're in Kansas City, so it's different.  It wasn't their school.  So it's not technically a child-slaughter because they got a half-day for the parade.  So you gotta make my bunk.  

Wait, what the fuck we talking about?  Oh yeah, I sometimes forget bullets don't really give fuck one about location or target or days of the week...

But it's not the right thing to do. The language of the 2nd Amendment in no way limits protected firearm use to militias. It basically says in modern message board English "Because access to firearms is required to organize a militia and being able to organize a militia is so fucking important, you can't make any laws limiting access to firearms."

Yes it's antiquated as hell and should be repealed, but that's what it says.

I mentioned this in one of the many other threads about this in the past and no one really responded ( maybe that means its dumb IDK) but what about limiting access to ammunition?

Ban it outright, yeah good luck, though I think a case could be made for home loaders

Limit amounts and keep track a database of some sort

Tax the shit out of it, like make the tax five times the cost of the ammo alone

Weird. Guns seem to be a common factor in both of them. It is almost like if we made laws that prevented dipshits and lunatics alike from getting access to guns we could end up at a solution to both categories of problems. 

They are called criminals for a reason.  The only way to stop shootings is to get rid of guns.  Laws aren't going to stop them.

Except for the real-world data point where tightened gun laws demonstrably reduced gun violence.

We don't have to guess.  It has been actually tried, and has actually worked, in multiple western countries.

Oh, we're too stupid to do anything about it.  On that, we agree.  The politics make it impossible.  So, nothing will change.  Lock thread, I guess.  Except for the report of the next mass shooting.  And the next, and the next, and the next.....

In that “more gun laws” is only said and not signed into law, then I agree with you.

Only thing missing is gun 'experts' saying the type of assault weapon used doesn't matter because knives and cars also kill people.  And then they discuss, at length, the caliber and ballistics of the attack.  

If we valued people more than guns, things would be different…like they are in other civilized countries.

I'm surprised an update to the mass shooting in KC hasn't been posted since 2 adults were arrested. Apparently one of them started the whole thing. They may be adults, but you have to have the mentality of a 5 yr old to start a shooting because someone starred at you. This is exactly why guns should should be illegal. A really good lady lost her life because these guns are not illegal.

Not a csb, but kind of. The concrete company I work for got their start building septic tanks and burial vaults. I’m being groomed to take over as the production manager because the current one has basically said that he’s retiring in five years. My friend (CEO of the company) from high school (engineer from UT), started working with his father (owner of the company), about ten years ago. He’s since turned a regional company into a global one. I’ve been run through the ringer, working every different crew in order to learn, get my hands dirty (again), and hopefully earn enough cred to take over for my mentor (who is a badass) in four years.
All that aside, the hardest time I had, was building and pouring burial vaults. I was fine until they brought in a form that wasn’t familiar to me on morning. It was a child’s vault.
Last Friday, I helped one of our loaders load a dozen iron caskets on one of our 18 wheelers. This happens every day, but it was the first time I was tasked with helping due to the fact that we were a man short. The truck driver was cool, and helped more than he should’ve. He was from Uvalde. That’s when he informed me that our company built the vaults for every single child that was killed in the shooting. I didn’t know what to say. So after about a minute, I asked him what it was like to transport those child vaults to Uvalde from Kerrville. That’s when he told me that each and every parent ordered a full size vault and a full size casket for their child. He said they all agreed to do it as a “fuck you” to UPD. He said that they wanted them to see how grown their children could have been, had they just done something.
Needless to say, I shook his hand, signed the paperwork, and said goodbye. Then, I walked into the vault warehouse, and sobbed like a fucking idiot for about half an hour.

Large portions of this country are utterly lost to humanity. Like, no empathy at all. Just one massive goddamn death cult.

I wish nothing but horrible things for those that stood by and did nothing. Children are dead due to gross negligence and they are cleared. Fucking unreal

As stated many times in the Fuck the Police thread, the police will always protect their own from accountability.  This includes retired police officers working as independent investigators.  Just another scam.

So what happened to the shooters? I've read through several articles and have not seen any information on what happened to the actual shooters.

I am russian. Some people were arrested, but it seems they are not the shooters. The shooters managed to escape in white sedan and now everyone is looking for them.
Also their car was mined.

He said the perpetrators "tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them on the Ukrainian side to cross the border."

Riiiight. No way in hell is that true. 

Quote

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the attack a "barbaric terrorist act."

Yevgeny PrigozhinAnna Politkovskaya, Aleksandr Litvinenko, Natalya Estemirova, Sergei Yushenkov, Sergei Magnitsky and Boris Nemtsov say "hey girl".

I dunno, it seems like we're supposed to look down on vigilante justice.

I had to fill up the car today.  The gas station is NE from my house, so technically I also headed towards Ukraine.  Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

I mean does anybody actually know where Kyle Rittenhouse and his dog went after Memphis?

I'm reserving judgment until I know more about caliber, magazine capacity and ballistics.  It could have just been a misunderstanding.
