Yes, it's due to the human heart. The heart of people so enthralled with guns and so horny to have the ability to rip the flesh off of others that they lose all common sense.

A manhunt is underway for at least one suspect after several people were shot Saturday near an interstate in a rural area of Laurel County, Kentucky, located south of Lexington, according to the sheriff’s office.

The active shooter situation occurred near Interstate 75, about nine miles north of the city of London, where “numerous persons have been shot,” said the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.

The Aztecs knew how to do it.  Sure, they were into human sacrifice but they didn’t kill in warfare… And the sacrifices were a celebratory affair.  No mass shooters in Montezuma’s kingdom.

I don’t wish death on these people but I do wish they could get shot up enough to maybe change their minds. I’m a teacher. Fuck the republicans and it is fucking time for legislation.

First I’m hearing about the shootings in the Seattle area. Mass shootings happen all the time in this country. Most of them we never hear about. A stat I saw on Thursday said there have been 385 mass shootings so far this year. It’s at least 386 now. Probably more since they happen more than once a day.

I gave a current number for the year when one of these incidents happened a few years ago. Johnny Sack was quick to dismiss the number. 3 bodies are not enough for it to be a mass shooting. Gang or street violence shouldn't count either. 

Funny how his screen handle became such a burden he had to adopt a new one. Perhaps he has a better appreciation for his fellow human beings but I'm skeptical. fatty doesn't give a shit about anyone outside of his own circle. Trash. Trash humans undeserving of the free lunch, scholarships, job training, or any other social services. Why would he be concerned about 3 randos shot in a drive by? Doesn't matter if one of them was a toddler. Trash humans. 

That's what I was told the last time he graced us with his witty banter.

I don't care about the AR platform. But the AR-15 is involved in something around 2% of all gun deaths and pursuing the fantasy discourse about a ban actively prevents workable reforms that would save lives. It's just not worth the political capital.

That’s not what prevents workable reforms. Don’t kid yourself.

Pause for a moment and realize that you are asserting that this is the single intractable issue that isn’t consumed with symbolic identity signifiers promoted by entrenched interests. Do I have you right?

again- if you could take all the AR-15s off the street by tomorrow morning, it’s a rounding error, because math.

I've come to be of the opinion that people clinging to and fetishizing military style weapons has to be the most bizarrely American thing ever.

That and 70 million dollar high school football stadiums.

Well, those weren't shootings, just mass malnutrition and beatings.  The hosers are in the clear on this one.

People are generally very bad at assessing risk. American high schools are extremely safe. The back seat of an automobile is an exponentially more dangerous space. A kid given ibuprofen or Tylenol had more risk exposure. We absolutely need to address the problems here. But some reality based calibration is also good.

You argue with yourself in this post.

True statements, sentences 1, 5, 6.

Straight up wrong: 4. Look at the number of exposures and TELL ME DEATH RATE OF tylenol or ibuprofen last year. Include anaphylactic death if you want (shouldn't because you can't predict it with first exposure, but bias to your opinion. 

Equating 2 with 3 and 4 creates a false equivalency. There are absolute benefits to society for driving and over-the-counter med use. There are steps that have been taken to mitigate the risk of driving and meds.

There is NO REASON there should be ANY RISK OF DEATH in school attendance. YOU are bad at assessing risk. YOU need some reality-based calibration.

Back of the envelope, there is something like 8.2 million person-years of exposure to in school settings per year in this country. That doesn't count the adults in that setting and is just high school numbers, not bringing the elementary and middles numbers into the picture. These school shootings are totally fucked up. But if you honestly can't agree to at least 2 and 3, this is not a reality based exchange.

If what you purport was true, we would have red flag laws, universal background checks and safe storage laws. Instead you have fatty pos repping you both sides-ing common sense gun regulations.

Well, when 7 people died from tainted Tylenol, they started putting foil over the opening and tamper-proof lids.

It's pretty easy when you are surrounded by people here talking about the impending fascist overtaking of this country and watching others around the world that don't have 2nd amendment protections getting the fucking heel ground into their forehead.

All in due time. Switzerland is a fun example though. Remember travels as a child and our swiss hosts. Shit looked like an uzi to me. What did I know. I just liked the cheese board.

You might check into what the current regs for gun ownership (and the types that are permitted to whom) are before making any such comparisons.

So, back of envelope, people were roughly half as likely to be killed or injured in a school shooting as they were to die from acetaminophen poisoning in 2023. How many were poisoned by school nurses?

Last year, firearms were the leading cause of death among US children.

We would? Fascinating. What would the legislative process be, and how would that set of reforms stay clean as it moves through?

Actually no remains have ever been found.  The "mass graves" was big news, but the "we ain't found shit" part of the story has received little if any exposure from the media.
