One person died and 21 others were wounded at a city Super Bowl victory rally Wednesday and three people are in custody, Kansas City officials said, after gunfire shattered a joyous afternoon as a massive crowd celebrated the Chiefs latest NFL title.
Well, it is the USA after all. It is no good American party without some gun action, it seems.
Republicans fought against gun control legislation, they did nothing after Sandy Hook Elementary.
Republicans did nothing after Sandy Hook Elementary.
Republicans did nothing after 20 children aged six to seven years old were gunned down with a Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Republicans will continue to do nothing.
Just remember, if you’re ever caught in the crossfire, thank a Republican. If you survive.
You want to live? You want to let your children go to school without worrying about them being killed by a mass shooter? You want to go to the grocery store and come back home alive? STOP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS!!! It is literally that fucking easy.
Carry on.
Republicans didn’t do “nothing” after Sandy Hook, they did the most republican thing they could do: advocate for arming school children and staff.
Very true, I forgot about that part.
In a Reddit thread about this, someone got so mad when I pointed out they were wrong about the Sandy Hook shooter owning his guns, even though that’a a critical piece to implementing saner gun control: checks on the purchaser would have accomplished nothing here, as his mother bought the guns. You’d need to take a different approach, like free public mental health care (or repealing the second amendment, but that’s much harder). One of the first steps toward even attempting saner gun control laws here is working out what’s going wrong. shaking my head
Anyway. You are right, but not right enough. We need people like Bernie Sanders in charge if you want to see meaningful change in gun control.
Bernie wasn’t much of an anti-2A advocate until he ran for the Democratic bid in 2016. Align with party values or get out.
Our country is sick. Healthcare is inaccessible and right out unaffordable, the Bible belt vilifies science, education is both piss poor and stupid expensive, we’re the richest country on the planet but a tiny handful of grubs are hoarding all the wealth, something something preaching to the choir.
People wouldn’t commit politically motivated domestic terrorism if living here wasn’t made intentionally shitty by the people in charge. I want our planet to stop burning, but they’re only focused on revoking trans rights or whatever fabricated problem they’re whining about this week. Americans need to wake the fuck up and stop being so complacent.
I think it’s more fruitful to address why people go on killing sprees instead of trying to prohibit the tools that they use.
To this day, it doesn’t make sense for someone living in rural America to be against gun ownership because they have to rely on themselves for their own protection.
That said, there are legitimate arguments to be made for allowing cities to ban gun ownership.
Yeah, not really news is it?
