  1. Spoiler: Republican states will elect to forego federal funds to implement red flag laws.Β

    But thanks for the mental health funding. It actually will save lives (mostly the poor and homeless struggling with mental illness. The people that do mass shootings usually have abundant access to mental health resources)

    Abbott will take it and quietly divert it to fund his border initiative.

  2. This report counters that. I’m not aware of any disinfo connections with the Independent.Β 
    In any case, looks like they will need a lotΒ more resources.Β 

    Some replies are saying the majority owner is a former KGB officer but I’m too lazy to verify.

    β€œIt β€˜s notβ€œnews”. It’s propaganda from publication owned by a Russian oligarch. The supportive tweets here are mainly bots. Neither math nor reports from truly independent sources support assertions made here. Significant aid to UA arrives daily. Tough battle, but UA will prevail.”

  3. How are the nation's police forces not calling for changes on these weapons? Even if police skew more conservative/right-wing, you'd think that having to be out in public on a day-to-day basis with these weapons around would overcome any sort of political bias to say "Hey, I just saw five officers killed in Dallas with an assault rifle. Get those things off the streets." or "Hey, I just had to enter a classroom with 19 dead fourth-graders and 2 teachers and I will never get that image out of my head."
  4. Beto has so many issues to pound Abbott on.Β  School shootings, Snowpocalypse, Border Nonsense, etc.Β  If Beto loses again (which I expect) it will just confirm that not enough people in Texas give a shit.Β  If people came out to vote, Abbott would go down, no doubt in my mind.

    Along with Snowpocalypse I think he should pound him on wasting taxpayers money. HHS and DPS defunding etc.
    They will attempt to distract with hot button social β€œissues”. He should be calm and measured on these. He needs to look like a voice of reason and not an activist. Maybe that would sway some in the middle.

  5. You are calling the PBS dishonest by parsing what they called this incident? It is social media that is wrongly picking up and sharing partial stories. And it is NRA agenda holders that try to mitigate the numbers we see to hold the line against gun reform and questioning their good guys with gun policies.Β 
    Mass school shootings have 2 things in common over the many years they have happened. Gunmen under 22 and assault weapons. To make this stop, take away the ability of them to purchase these weapons and the magazines that hold massive amounts of ammo and stop thinking hardening schools is the answer. Also, if they get their hands on these weapons from adults, then try those adults as accomplices to murder.
    Whatever else were factors to the number of students dying in Uvalde. The school district not locking doors fast enough, the officers not engaging the killer before the tactical team arrived, one thing is true.
    We are all responsible for not forcing our legislators to increase the age to purchase assault weapons to 25 and not banning large magazines. There is no reason citizens should have them. None. If you want to go to war with my government then get the fuck out of my country and start your own. Then declare war on the United States. Fuck you for fearing it and still living under its benefits.Β 

    I didn’t see anything sensational or inaccurate in the PBS article. They did not say β€œMass Shooting” in the headline. They gave sources for the statistics quoted and how they define school shootings and mass shootings.

  6. I was fast forwarding thru the last minutes of Colbert and had to do a stop and rewind. Never heard of them but the Surly ratings will be interesting since there's 9 of them.Β

    Better with the sound off.
