The fastest way to force progress would be a campaign of black men legally openly carrying AR-15s or similar weapons near and around right wing evangelical churches on Sunday mornings. 

But of course, from what I understand, black men don't like dying so that's not really feasible.

    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.

Wow, putting aside the cowardice during the massacre, what a massive group of pussies. If seeing carnage like that makes you cry and get sick you shouldn’t be a cop or an EMT. 

So a pimple face with an AR-15 made hundreds of cops with their own AR-15s cry and puke.  And took off the faces and fingers of 19 small children.  But we can’t talk about the access to the weapon because of wild hogs?  I have they about right?

Yea. The only reasons these degenerates have for crying and hurling are cowardice and shame.

You. Stood. By.

Fuck all of them. Maybe I wouldn't have had the nerve to go into that classroom. Not doing so would make the rest of my life unbearable.

. . . and you're not a cop.  If you don't have a sense of your ability to handle intense, stressful situations, perhaps being riddled with fear yourself, then don't take the fucking job.  

I don't mind them crying and puking.  What I mind is the likelihood that they're crying and puking about their own cowardice.

You don't have to be cop if you have a gun in your hand and somebody on the other side of a door is mercilessly slaughtering elementary school children and their teachers to know what you must do. Hell, just opening the door and firing blindly and shoulder height would at least rattle the guy and maybe offer a moment and avenue for escape.

Any person of substance would know what he or she must do. Abstractly, I would rather die than live with that kind of shame. At least my name would remain intact.

Yeah; this is a good point about that video clip.   Er, video magazine 

 

many of them weren’t physically exasperated with vomit and tears because they were scared.  Their bodies were doing they  to relieve their minds of the horrors to come.  Or they were just really torn up about all the feral hogs in south Texas.

You know they weren't.

If any of them were ashamed of the cowardice they displayed that day, they would've killed themselves by now.

That’s what the Black Panthers did in California when Reagan was governor.

And he supported gun control laws because of it.

shocking newsflash...ranchers aren't purchasing AR15's for maintaining their hog population.  They now treat them like exotics and organize hunts for dudes who have AR15's.  Hogs reproduce, dudes buy more AR15's, ranchers sell more hunts.  The circle of life is complete.

probably best to just take that kid out back and shoot him. no rehabbing him now - not in this fucking state. I mean, that's where we're heading, right?

As of May 24, there have been at least 25 mass killing incidents in the U.S. so far in 2023, leaving at least 127 people dead, not including perpetrators who died, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. That puts the country on a faster pace for mass killing incidents than in any other year since at least 2006, according to the database, which defines a mass killing as an incident in which four or more people are killed, not including the perpetrator, within a 24-hour period.

There have been at least 556 incidents in all since 2006 in the U.S., according to the database, leaving at least 2,892 people dead.

Family mass killings — in which four or more people were killed, not including the perpetrator — have also been an all-too-common tragedy across the country. They’ve happened nearly every 3 1/2 weeks for the last two decades on average, according to the database.

Must be weird for the gun fetish people: all the laws are getting easier to get a gun that will kill lots of people in no time at all.

But then when you actually kill someone everybody freaks out and make you out to be the bad guy.  

What's the point of all this ordnance if you can't actually use it?

I don't know if y'all are fans of Barry (the HBO Show) but there is a scene where he basically walks up exasperated and crazed into a Walmart and exits wearing rifles, shotgun, and pistol, body armor/vest like it is completely normal.

Giving a fuck about this and actually wanting to implement gun law reforms is favored by the vast majority of Texans and Americans, yet the response from our GQP leadership is a hearty "yeah, FUCK YOU!" and laughter.

The minority lording its power over the majority, showing utter contempt and snide disdain for the majority, works well....right up until it doesn't.  The end-game for gun owners is not a good one.  As a gun owner, I wish our leadership wasn't dead-set on careening down this path, which is the worst of both worlds: death and suffering in the short term, and loss of the ability to own many/most/all private firearms in the long term.

You're giving the public too much credit, they claim they want gun reform but don't care enough to stop voting for these pieces of shits. The public doesn't care if kids get killed as long as their kids aren't killed

$50 and my vote says DeSantis deflects this by saying something about the shooting stats in Chicago this weekend.  

DeSantis can brag "Not many places you can tan and shoot up a crowd while doing it".  Just have to do it in daylight.

PSA. There is a PBS documentary tonight, titled, "After Uvalde: Guns, Grief & Texas politics."  Coproduced by Texas Tribune, Frontline and a group that I've never heard of Futuro Investigates. 9pm in Houston and also streaming.

Unfortunately most of us are fully aware of the Texas political response. Nada.

NSIAP. Chronicle editorial about how the Santa Fe (TX) school shooting has been ignored or forgotten. 

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/santafe-uvalde-shooting-anniversary-guns-18108481.php

nonpaywall https://archive.is/jOzmN

2018 school shooting outside of Houston. 10 died. School district has done very little to acknowledge it. Unlike how the school was torn down in Uvalde, sounds like Santa Fe got a new paint job and wall tiles in the shooting/death rooms.  The article blames politics and the strong GOP local base.

What shocked me the most was that victims' families still haven't been allowed to learn details of their loved ones deaths. Texas passed a law this session to allow families access to autopsy records. I haven't heard whether Abbott will sign it. Can't have activist parents doing something to inform the public about these deaths.

 

As a follow-up, the Legislature passed a law that allows the Santa Fe families (and I presume families who lose anyone in a mass shooting) to see more evidence. Police video recordings, autopsy reports, etc.  BUT the families appear to be required to sign a confidentiality agreement in order to get that access.

Would a prosecutor really go after a victim's family if they said something to the press? That would be hardcore to prosecute the families when, at least in Santa Fe, they seem unable to prosecute the shooter. I also assume that the families are not allowed to copy any material and will most likely be watched by law enforcement to ensure no pictures of the evidence.

It would not be a prosecution. It would be a civil suit. Depending on which agency is the plaintiff, it could be a city or county attorney.

NEW YORK – Amid a mounting debate in America over the constitutionality of gun control, Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark has entered the fray with a different argument: That people should voluntarily forgo their Second Amendment rights for the betterment of society.

“I honestly believe it is the best thing we can do to change the culture of violence that threatens us today,” Tobin said.

Asking Americans to do something for the betterment of society is a hill too far. Look no further than this board for people who have said that their right to own assault weapons trumps (pun maybe intended) the right of others to live in peace and without fear of gun violence.

Gun owners already forego their 2nd amendment rights if they dont volunteer in a militia. [checks notes] we have professional police, military and a voluntary guard.

Other religious leaders need to follow Cardinal Tobin’s lead. We’re awash in guns and things are not getting better as we brace for out next big gun slaughter of innocent Americans.

That one sounded like a targeted assassination, fwiw.

 

A mother of 4 fatally shot after she reportedly knocked on the door of a white woman's residence to retrieve her child's iPad. It's believed that Owens' children accidentally left the device behind in a field they were playing in, & the woman took it," Crump tweeted. 

Speaking at a press conference Monday, Owens' mother said the neighbor's door was locked and remained closed during the confrontation.

"My daughter, my grandchildren's mother, was shot and killed with her 9-year-old son standing next to her," she said. "She had no weapon, she posed no imminent threat to anyone."

In nearby Flagler County, a Florida man was arrested on May 27 for allegedly pointing a gun at a woman's head after her friend briefly turned into his driveway, authorities said. The incident was captured on video. Terry Vetsch, 60, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, according to jail records.
