They are already trying to deflect blame. ItS NoT thE GuN... yes, yes, it is. No where else in the world do you hear of gun violence the way it is in America.
The problem is that America worships the gun like a god and the NRA wants it that way because it makes a fuck ton of money. It has nothing to do with the second amendment. They twist the narrative to make people believe that taking away guns is an infringement on their rignts when the reality is dead children make the NRA money.
The current interpretation of the second amendment is quite modern. If it was how it was intended to be, it would have been interpreted that way back when it was written. Instead, it is a perversion twisted by a capitalist lobbying group in order to prop up quarterly earnings. These children are sacrificed on the altar of Guns, which itself is a smaller altar on the behemoth of "Number Must Go Up."
Oh *fuck*. There's actually *reliable evidence* that the shooter was a trans woman. Not just MAGA heads claiming *every* shooter is trans.
Oh fuck me. Oh fuck us all. Trump used two 15 year olds beating up an idiot as justification to send *troops* into DC. What the fuck will he use this as justification for?
Stay safe. Have your passport and a go bag handy. And know your quickest routes to the Canadian or Mexican border.
I was on a thread on insta and people were saying there was a school shooting every other week.... and i was like "you guys have mass shootings every day" and i got INFINITE amounts of rage from people who were all saying SHOW YOUR SOURCES... and there are so many sources that i was honestly confused... i'm not in the US and i know how many there are. That chart shows 10 in one day. Fucked up
First modern police force was in Scotland in 1611, well before the USA and the constitution even existed. There had also been sort of ‘police’ in various forms for thousands of years before that.
That's not true, I was correct, and when I searched it to double check a lot of sites are calling "slave patrols" a police force. So. i am certain you are taking the same kind of crazy liberty with your definition of police.
Yes, the slaves was what I called the ‘sort of police’. I said the first modern police force, i.e. what we see as a police force today was established in Scotland in 1611 which predates the American constitution.
So you did take the same liberties you just don't conceive the truth because you suck at history. Modern policing was started in Britain because of Jack the Ripper. Your 1611 date was England being racist to Scottish people and was an excuse to have English Troops in Scotland.
I'm a trans woman who fled the U.S. I also have an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Texas, and am taking an M.A. in Screenwriting at the Irish National Film School in order to tell better trans representation in Hollywood.
I'm not spreading around misinformation deliberately.
I'm warning people that this — will — be used by MAGA to push anti-trans laws.
There's been a lot of reporting in both directions for the MN shooting. And considering we're talking about America here, I wouldn't be surprised if people are talking about two different mass shootings.
I've seen several reports that the MN shooter had changed their name from Robert to Robin a few years ago and *may* have been trans. No certain confirmation, but a possibility. If so, it's a shitty situation for the trans community as it will be used as ammo against them.
Which is bullshit because even if you weight mass shootings based on the demographics of shooters, the overwhelming number of mass shootings are STILL performed by straight white cis men.

Happened down the street from a high school friend. He's shaken as he moved there from Chicago.

The only reason I knew school started up in the US is because there was a school shooting

Fuck, that's dark but accurate.

More bodies piling up so that the ammosexuals can keep their guns.
Meanwhile, they're not using said guns to overthrow the fascist government like they're supposed to.
Almost like the second amendment has nothing to do with protection.

Well the fact that it was written before the world invented police would be relevant, if police weren't killing innocent people all the time.

Based on where it happened, I think this is going to one of the shootings the GoP will briefly pretend to care about.
Servomoore
It was a Catholic school, not one the Evangelicals are as invested in.
RooGryphon
Not a chance. like they care about who was shot. They probably thought the system is working as intended the moment the story broke
GlenL
They'll claim the shooter was a trans-democrat-immigrant-dei hire and then go quiet once it's confirmed it's just another conservative with a gun
KerryCoder
In this case. Sadly. VERY sadly...
...they're right. The shooter *was* trans.

That's not true I checked several articles. Your a bigot.
