I hate that this is how I learned about this, but somehow not surprised

Our thot sand prayers with the US in these times which are trying

This is simply the cost of having such easy access to firearms. They say the tree of liberty is watered by blood, but they don't like to think about who pays that price. It's not just those who "deserve it" and just need to "git gud" at not being poor or a minority. It's the manly men who commit suicide with their own gun because they were taught to never share their feelings. It's people from all walks of life who get killed by police forces more heavily armed than many militaries. It's the people 2 houses over getting wallbanged by average caliber handguns.

And of course, it's the kids. The ones who get their parents gun because they learned the code to daddy's safe. The ones killed by kids who were given a gun by their parents. The ones who were enjoying a standard childhood until a Remington or Colt snatched their future away. Those are the people who pay the price.

If anything, the gun nuts should express public gratitude for this latest sacrifice. They should thank the innocent for sacrificing for the greater good. Those lives were totally worth being able to take down a tree with 50 BMG.

I saw a photo in early reporting trying to peg this one on trans people again. For fucks sakes

Ah yes, because it's easy to create gun control in a country with 434 million guns in it, and mental health is the wrong place to target, since democrats and republicans alike never seem to actually enact anything in this area.

Regardless, there is a solution... But no, it's not easy, or anything any dumbass politician seems to be promoting.
