Mike CohenThere have been 37 mass shootings this year. Today is the 23rd day of the year.
cienfuegos@mikec415 más gente tiene una arma en gringolandia que un duvet.
@100fuegos i don’t understand?
@mikec415 Días sin tiroteos masivos: 0
han matado a 37 personas en los primeros 23 días de este año aquí en gringolandia.
@100fuegos sorry, I don’t understand the language.
RDS (shawphd on Twitter)@100fuegos @mikec415 Highlight the text and run it through a translator?
Lis Carey@shawrd773 @100fuegos @mikec415 Still makes no sense, because I'm not aware of duvets killing people.
@LisCarey @shawrd773 @mikec415 ok firstly, my bad, because what i meant was bidet not duvets. of course, if bidets killed people, then obviously there would be little discrepancy between the two and a lot more people would have bidets.
Andrew H – № 2025@mikec415 @100fuegos translates roughly to “more people in the US have guns than duvets”
CynBlogger™️Resists Tyranny!
Statmonkey 🙊@mikec415 it's the guns
El Duvelle@mikec415 😧
Really hard to understand how people accept this…

SocialistStan@mikec415 I really need to get my CCW.
DDimetrodon@mikec415 Very depressing but powerful image. Could you add alt-text so I can boost? If you edit the post, delete the image, and add them again, you could add alt-text via the little info or img desc button.

Not saying much in our favor....

Shelby Wynne@mikec415 This is sad!! We're the only country with this gun issue. Again, congress has failed. Banning assault weapons nationwide is one of the solutions to a significant decrease in mass shootings.
acm@mikec415 alt text: a large green sign like you might see by the highway reads "Welcome to
United States of America
[0] days since a mass shooting"
United States of America
[0] days since a mass shooting"
Bart Graham@mikec415 Simply outrageous - thanks MAGA for more blood and death on your hands. 😡
@mikec415 And 2 in California in the space of two days.
farron bulanzd@mikec415 in encoding speak, we would say, this is not happening in real time, its happening faster than real time.
Marie Walsh@mikec415 Americans KNOW how to Stop them...but prefer to keep their Guns.
David LaSpina@Mariewalsh18 @mikec415 Correction: politicians who take NRA money prefer not to do anything.
For a number of years now poll after poll has shown the majority of Americans favor stricter gun control. But money talks. And the NRA gives enough money to politicians that they don't give a shit what most Americans think.
Budha_west@mikec415 America- the right to kill....

nichtsicher@mikec415 Oh, ist momentan sogar leicht unter dem Schnitt von 2022. Da waren es noch 1,7 Schießereien pro Tag.
Eoin O'Beara@mikec415 Why not call them mass murders?
Keiþ 🔭@mikec415 Every time there are cries of “let’s do something about this” and then nothing happens. It’s awful.
Are there enough Americans being born to cover the number being shot?
Also, is “gunshot wound” now regarded as “natural causes” in the US?

Oakland police say 8 people shot, 1 killed at gas station Monday evening

Marcos M. 🚲@mikec415 Failed States of America.

@mikec415 I just randomly added the numbers mentioned in this post and got 60 lol
Jeffrey Robinson@mikec415 Inexcusable!
yossarianuk@mikec415 Odd how countries without the easy availability of weapons (most of Europe) have had none so far ...
Steve8282@mikec415 The number being changeable is ambitious.
Elikorokoros@mikec415 but don't worry they also have illegal abortion...😒
Jeff@mikec415 GQP voters own every death
@mikec415 An American tragedy.
U.Lancier@mikec415 do these numbers include those incited by the police? And for us foreigners, who are generally unfamiliar with that kind of phenom: what qualifies a „mass shooting“ in the US?
Air Quotes Comedian@mikec415 I tried to Norris McWhirter of the BBC's 1980's program 'Record Breakers' to see if we'd be in the running to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records this year.
Then I remembered he died in 2004, which is when I moved to the USA. A country where most mass shootings don't even warrant a mention on national news. A country where, other than those directly effected, it's no more a thing than the weather.
Joe Klein@mikec415 only think missing is bullet holes in that sign.
Michael Quinn
William Robison@mikec415 the sign needs to change. It should show the number or hours since the last mass shooting.
SamuelJohnson
Christine Donaldson@mikec415 Why? Just why?
WPFernandesCitizens are not bothered. Effected are happy to be compensated moneterily. Voters are complacent. In democracy it should not happen. People's voices are suppressed and dominated.
🇳𝗮ꜟ𝖼𝘩@mikec415 Probably easier to have a sign that shows number of mass shootings per day. Currently 1.6.
