just dropping some american stats on guns. @Lanzman is overjoyed It is good all these children can die so lanz and others can feel like a man.
Just wondering of the few remaining 2A absolutists/castle doctrine fetishists we have left, how many have a fire extinguisher in the house?
An update! Turns out that the shooter had his ability to own a gun stripped from him in 2016! https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2011GL047711 Somehow, this didn't stop him from being a cop, nor does it ever appear to have been mentioned by anyone who gave him a reference to prospective employers.
Not a mass shooting, but significant. A six year old smuggles a handgun into class past police and metal detectors and shoots his teacher. It was not an accident, per police. Her injuries are life threatening. https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/richneck-elementary-school-shooting-newport-news-virginia/
You can tell she's not from here - 'We have a new governor now, we should be able to do something about this.' Yeah, that governor ran on a platform of not doing a damn useful thing to stop gun violence in schools.
Someone shot up a club in Texas with an AK. https://abc13.com/houston-club-mass-shooting-touch-lounge-33-champions-terrace-area-crime/12705051/
It turns out that the teacher had reported the student to the school for threatening her and other teachers but the school ignored her. https://www.thedailybeast.com/richn...warnings-about-6-year-old-before-she-was-shot
10 dead, 12 injured in Monterey Park mass shooting. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-01-22/la-me-monterey-park-mass-shooting
The suspect is dead: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/...t-del-amo-fashion-center-in-torrance/3078719/ In a surprising twist, the shooter appears to have been Asian.
I just found out that a friend of mine lost a family member in the California shooting. >EDIT< Apparently it was one of her husband's family members.
7 people confirmed dead in shooting just outside Half Moon Bay. This is the second mass shooting in as many days in California https://twitter.com/salhernandez/status/1617702097507733506
Ugh… yeah. There is a reason I didn’t make a separate thread for this. I had a feeling it could be intracommunal. This place (boarded up) was on an ally way shortcut we would use weekly when going to certain restaurants in a quarter of the CID (Chinatown/International District - where my agency was HQed). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wah_Mee_massacre
Thoughts and prayers! Just another small sacrifice to the Second Amendment gods. Perhaps next week the gods will require another classroom full of children. Such is the price of freedom.
Someone needs to photoshop the scene from "Beneath The Planet Of The Apes" where the mutants are singing hymns to a nuke, so that the nuke is an AK. That's the NRA now. Has been for awhile.
A manhunt is underway following a shooting last night at a Circle K in Yakima, Washington. Police have described the attack as “random” and say that the shooter killed three and injured one before fleeing in a stolen vehicle. CCTV stills of the shooting below https://twitter.com/dylannlover/status/1617943425747419137? The fuck Yakima?!?!
something is afoot at the circle K? If we are going to start counting gas station shootings and awful house shootings this thread is going to get really fucking long. Just sayin. Did the NRA stop paying the media to stop covering gas station shootings?
The teacher’s survived and is planning on suing. She claims that the school was told repeatedly that the kid had a gun and they ignored it. https://apple.news/AgyMtBTzLSRSncGA1uzFHXw
