So now the play is it’s really “the Left’s” fault and the answer is more institutionalization, incarceration, and… whatever “fortification” means (obviously must not mean checking for guns)?

Or is it the “Deus Vult” bullshit that God’s plan requires brutally murdering kids with assault rifles?

Yep. Like clockwork, the right has come out with their standard trio of responses: 1)) it’s too soon to talk politics, BUT…. 2) thoughts and prayers, and we need more God and Jesus, and 3) the solution to there being so many highly lethal guns out there is…we need more people with more guns.

We are the worst fucking society. I hate it. I hate that they’ve won. That they’ve created their dream, and the inevitable result is a little girl with her face blown off. Oh…who am I kidding. “A” little girl with her face blown off - no, it’s been dozens of them. We’ll get up to the hundreds, probably in the next 5 years. Every one of them a trophy to put on the shelf as a symbol of their victory. It’s over. They’ve won. This is who we are, and what we will be, forever.

It’s not who we will be forever, but the change is going to involve more blood and unrest and maybe a lot of it.

It's fucking insane, most people and tons and tons of gun owners and enthusiasts want these things banned, yet it feels like we will never be able to achieve this.

And those same jackasses think the best way to reduce deficits is to decrease the amount of tax revenue you bring in.  GQP is shit at math.

Ironically, the left should arm itself with the express goal of repealing the Second Amendment.

That is what it likely eventually comes to.

The thoughts and prayers aren't working. Or they are, and this god of theirs really likes dead kids and violence. Which is it?

It's all part of the Republican Party's plan to capture more of the white vote because of the left's seeming inability to protect innocent people from violence and the other. We're heading straight into the arms of fascism.

Which is the endgame the gun nuts actually want. The notion that they can mow down some of their leftist neighbors with their semi-auto freedom machines is one of the pillars of the conservative wet dream.

A corollary of our collective failure to manage guns in the US is a pessimism that we’re capable as a people of seriously addressing climate change. If you can’t even rally the troops to a clear cut, man made problem that regularly kills children as seen on TV, what hope is there that enough of the audience will be moved by a slower-unfolding disaster with multiple etiologies and somewhat localized effects? We couldn’t even all agree that masks are not a personal infringement during a modern plague. We are a nation of dumbfucks that need to get on the same page.

Yeah you'd think we as many guns as we have in this state that there would be no soft targets and these guys would think twice before going on killing sprees. It's almost like they don't care about the consequences once they've decided they want to kill people. So I dunno, maybe limit their ability to get these weapons. Nah, that's crazy talk. Forget I said it.

It's like there's an epidemic of faulty brakes in cars killing people. We keep installing the faulty brakes in more cars, and more people die as a result every year. "More faulty brakes! This won't stop until we've put faulty brakes in everyone's cars!". 

People sending out Christmas cards posing with their faulty brakes, etc.

Don't worry folks.  The day will eventually come when the last surviving person can wave their semi in the air and shout "I made it, Ma!  Top of the heap!"

Well the good news is that we've fucked up education so much that more dumbfucks are on the way.

Oh they want to talk about a lack of mental health institutions in this country?

Well let's see in 1980 democrat president Carter signed the Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 to bolster the funding for mental health institutions in the US. A year later republican president Reagan signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 that repealed pretty much all of it and cut budgeting for mental health even further. In the 42 years since republicans have been responsible for further cuts. 

So that's on you republican fucks too. The entire problem is on you. 

I recall reading at the time about the particularly cruel twist in this story. The act Carter signed called for moving patients from large scale institution to better small scale accommodations. The big institutions closed down, but Reagan's move killed funding for the second part. The mental patients have nowhere to go and find themselves homeless.

If you look, you'll see where homelessness starts becoming a prominent issue. Crazy people are wandering the sidewalks! I guess they just don't care about being homeless, but they're making the sidewalks unpleasant! 

Non-profits and some churches have made efforts, but they don't have the resources the government does. Now they're scorned. Our previous president suggests criminalizing their plight, rounding them into concentration camps, and making our beautiful streets great again.

Cruelty is our brand. @Brisketexan

Oh and more good news.  Abortions are a lot harder to get in many places now so more unwanted children for that fucked up education system to try to make "not dumbfucks"

In the 70s, anti-war groups responded to the notion of using armed forces to keep the peace with this slogan:

Fighting for peace is like fucking for chastity.

So it fits right in with our history of dumb ideas regarding shooting people we don't even know.

It's a sadistic arithmetic the Christian Taliban have working right now.

We need to zealously do away with abortion because its killing unborn kids (their god cannot prevent abortion, apparently), but we need to zealously protect people's right to kill born kids (their god needs these kids as Jesus freedom martyr space ghosts).

It's worth repeating as it highlights how stupid we are for letting this go on...

Guns are the leading cause of death for US children and teens since surpassing car accidents in 2020.

Children are more likely to be killed by a gun than in a car accident

That's what they want.  The men enacting these laws know their wives, daughters, and mistresses, will just be able to travel to NY or CA and get an abortion.  But they want more poor people and more crime. The cruelty is the point.  

 

https://law.stanford.edu/publications/the-impact-of-legalized-abortion-on-crime-over-the-last-two-decades/.    More crime is the goal.  They know legal abortion leads to less crime.

 

Donohue and Levitt (2001) presented evidence that the legalization of abortion in the early 1970s played an important role in the crime drop of the 1990s. That paper concluded with a strong out-of-sample prediction regarding the next two decades: “When a steady state is reached roughly twenty years from now, the impact of abortion will be roughly twice as great as the impact felt so far. Our results suggest that all else equal, legalized abortion will account for persistent declines of 1% a year in crime over the next two decades.” Estimating parallel specifications to the original paper, but using the seventeen years of data generated after that paper was written, we find strong support for the prediction and the broad hypothesis, while illuminating some previously unrecognized patterns of crime and arrests. We estimate that overall crime fell 17.5% from 1998 to 2014 due to legalized abortion— a decline of 1% per year. From 1991 to 2014, the violent and property crime rates each fell by 50%. Legalized abortion is estimated to have reduced violent crime by 47% and property crime by 33% over this period, and thus can explain most of the observed crime decline.

Do we have any demos on the Allen shooter yet? White male between 18-22 is the leader in the clubhouse, right?

Greg Abbott says he’s an illegal wetback who shot other illegal wetbacks and should be pardoned because he’s a veteran who shot an evil antifa protestor, but Greg has a tendency to speak before the facts are out, so who knows?

According to the 2A people, including several here, red-flag legislation is dangerous because there is the potential for it to be abused by a "vindictive ex-wife" against a responsible (male) gun owner, which may result in the confiscation of their guns. 

But incarcerating people that are "deemed to be threat" -- whatever that would entail -- is ok? Am I reading that right?

They are obsessed with shooter's legal status as if that :

1) undercuts gun control advocates’ arguments. It doesn’t. 

2) make one fucking difference to the eight people who lost their lives yesterday on a shopping trip to the mall. It doesn’t. 
 

We have a decent percentage of posters on this site that would agree with a lot of what’s posted over there. They’re just smart enough not to come in here and post it.

Well, that's because CR is not welcoming to disparate opinions.  You know, however fucking indefensible, evil and stupid those opinions might be.
