It seems logical that you can "depersonalize" with shooting guns, particularly from a distance. It doesn't have to feel real to shooters who are mentally compromised and living in their own alternative reality. Guns allow you to be a coward and still hurt people. 

Knife stabbings? That shit takes some actual guts. You're risking your own safety. It' a personal and physical confrontation. The body count is significantly limited. 

We'll never live in a utopia, there will always be murders. But gun access here is clearly the problem.

    That’s not true. As has been pointed out in this thread multiple times, other countries who had mass shooting events immediately changed their gun laws to make it harder or impossible to obtain the we

    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.

The Daily Show episode about mass shooting coverage by media was good, but didn't go far enough.  There needs to be a multi-episode Netflix doc exploring the issue and combining it with gun control and mental health treatment options that can be easily digested by your average...oh fuck it, we're all going down.

BEAUFORT, S.C. — A mass shooting at a crowded bar on an idyllic South Carolina island has left four people dead and at least 20 injured, officials say.

The shooting occurred early Sunday at Willie's Bar and Grill on St. Helena Island, officials said. A large crowd was at the scene when sheriff's deputies arrived and found several people suffering from gunshot wounds.

"Multiple victims and witnesses ran to the nearby businesses and properties seeking shelter from the gun shots," the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office said in a statement on the social media platform X.

"This is a tragic and difficult incident for everyone. We ask for your patience as we continue to investigate this incident. Our thoughts are with all of the victims and their loved ones," the statement said.

Four people were found dead at the scene, and at least 20 other people were injured. Among the injured, four were in critical condition at area hospitals.

The victims' identities were not released.

"COMPLETELY HEARTBROKEN to learn about the devastating shooting in Beaufort County," U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace posted on X. "Our prayers are with the victims, their families, and everyone impacted by this horrific act of violence."

Man.....peak Shania.

And my CSB about that era: a rather prominent conservative figure today commented on Shania from this era (so...30 years ago, when he was quite a bit younger): "Shania?  I wouldn't denya!"  When you realize this phrase comes from the mouth of someone I once saw order milk to drink at a bar, it's a good bit funnier.

I will use any excuse to post Shania.  

Two guys shooting each other presumably because one is banging the other's girl? 

That'll get you a Shania.  

This is the kind of shit that happens when we let Shania Law weave its way into local politics.

Pudge always seemed like a stand up guy, wouldn’t think he’d get caught up in something like this.
