Jesus.  My wife and I just watched a CBS Sunday morning segment by Steve Hartman on the empty bedrooms of the victims of these shootings.  So many of them left completely untouched 3, 5, 10 years later.  Parents struggle with repurposing the rooms and losing the connection to their child.  It was gutting to watch.  We both had tears streaming down our faces.  I recommend finding that segment.  I think they said they are making a Netflix doc out of it.  This fucking country.

    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.

Sounds like emotional libtard bullshit.  Why do you hate alpha males who care about what really matters -- lots of guns?

If this is painful to watch for those of us who have not yet been personally affected by gun violence, can you imagine the agony of these parents?

It was gutting to watch.  I just can’t fathom that loss.

116 rounds fired. Why the fuck does anyone need the capacity to fire this many rounds, in any situation, other than a battlefield? Anyone who believes they should can go fuck themselves

I guess we should be thankful that the typical mass shooter is a terrible shot.  Seems like a lot of these incidents should have much higher body counts based on the number of rounds fired.

We can probably thank human biology for that, as it's not as simple as pointing and shooting.

Engaging any large living target to kill causes a massive adrenaline rush, even with training. I don't know if you've ever been a deer hunter, but "buck fever" is real and very difficult to suppress even for the most seasoned hunter.

I hate to even give the impression that I'm drawing a comparison between game hunting and mass shooters, but the point is I imagine that the flood of adrenaline in your system that makes you jittery and makes your hands shaky as fuck sometimes when you're hunting is amplified tenfold in a situation like this, unless you have had A) a complete psychotic break in which your brain is not functioning/producing hormones normally, and/or B) extensive military training.

Someone like Charles Whitman would be a good example of both.

A lot of the decrease in the homicide rate in America is due to better trauma care and not fewer shootings. We started getting good in the gang land 1990s and the GWOT experience made us excellent.

Reminds me of a story my dad told me when he had ER surgery duty in Miami back during the days of the cocaine cowboys. Someone pulled up to the ER with a guy in the trunk riddled with bullet wounds. They dumped him on the drive and drove off. 
 

He survived.

In the wake of the Minneapolis Catholic church shooting, senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.

Wife beaters, incels, alcoholics, drug abusers, people with known behavioral issues, all fine to own a firearm. Transgender people, nope. 

So now the government is coming for our guns huh?!?!?!

Oh, no.  Just some OTHER people's guns, so that's just fine.  Because, ummm, the absolute statement of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!", which they've been shouting about for years as having no wiggle room and NO exceptions....well, gee, turns out it has one giant exception: "except, of course, for people who are not favored by the regime, who have no right to keep and bear arms whatsoever."

Y'all must have missed that part, it's clear as day, right there in the Constitution, Fascism Special Edition.

A manhunt is underway in Texas for a gunman whom police said opened fire early Sunday on a group of people eating and drinking on the patio of a bar in suburban Houston, killing one person and wounding five others.

 

The shooting occurred at the Alas Locas sports bar in Cleveland, about 45 miles northeast of Houston, according to the Liberty County Sheriff's Office.

In Seattle. We are so very fucked.

To clarify, this is in exurban Tacoma, about 45 miles outside of Seattle and on the bleeding edge of MAGA rural WA. It's an area of low population permanence due to being right next to the huge Joint Base Lewis-McChord. I'm very glad they found this punk and will be quite interested in what happens going forward with his case.

They'll shoot their way into women's restrooms, pee in the sink, and traumatize the real womenfolk. What if that trauma interfered with their ability to give birth on demand? Then where would we be?

Bro.

‘Houston’ is anything east of Sealy, North of Angleton, west of Winnie, and south of Willis. 

Cleveland’s fate was sealed when i69 was declared 

So I'm not going to comment here on a gun violence incident that occurred at a school today (technically not on point because it wasn't a mass shooting).  Oh, wait?  There was more than one?  Cool.  Thoughts and prayers on the other one.

wtf happened to the Kirk thread?

There's a post at the top of the DT forum.  Best to leave it alone.

Fucking pussies.  There were two school shootings.  Why is one person more valuable than the other?

The mom's quote in that article about the Washington kid.  Wow.

Winnie's too far east.  I'll give you Dayton and you'll like it.

That was a nice shot. Must be Republican.

The victim is not more valuable, but the newsworthiness is.

Thankfully, political sniper assassinations are rare

It was captured live in front of a large crowd

Allegedly.

Man, I bet this shooter sure feels stupid. He doesn't even get a blurb today, let alone a full news cycle.

A student shot two of his peers Wednesday at a suburban Denver high school before shooting himself and later dying, authorities said.

Wednesday in America.

The Denver Post publishes info on the Evergreen psycho.

Officials say suspect, who fatally shot himself, was Desmond Holly. Two students remain in critical condition.
