Today's shooting in America thread

[RandomJ]

They blame it all on mental health, not the guns. Well everywhere has mental health issues but not everywhere has easy access to guns. Take away the guns and hey presto! Mass shootings diminish

That’s my biggest wind up when I see them saying “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” and I’m like what the actual fuck do you think a gun was designed and built for? To kill.

I don’t care if they go down the gun range or shoot deer you don’t need an assault rifle, extended magazine, hollow point bullets and all the rest of it. Even if they only limited people to owning handguns that would be a start in bringing down the deaths.

Amusing graphic - but upon reflection way off base.

Pretty much it's:

Mass shooting - outcry - Thoughts and Prayers - attempt at reform - massive NRA-sponsored outcry about "snowflake" socialist liberals attempting to end all gun ownership - failed bills at local state and national levels attempting to reform gun ownership and sales in the name of safety - and back to Mass shooting

The cycle is right though, you’ve just added further descriptions.

The starting and end points are correct - the original path points though, I think, are inaccurate.

I've just read that Kinder eggs are banned in the U.S.

Why?

Because 7 children in 33 years, have been killed WORLDWIDE through choking on them.

What a mad time to be alive!

nonsence, it is because of the non edible surprise the chocalate contains

I was only quoting what I read.
My point was that if Kinder eggs can be banned (for whatever reason) for the miniscule risk they pose to life, then why can't guns be banned for the far, far higher risk they pose to life?

This guy is considered "far-left" because he thinks something should be done about all of the carnage.
