The doors were locked.

The teachers were armed.

TN expanded firearm access.

The police arrived in minutes.

Covenant school had everything that MAGA GOP assured us prevents & stops mass shootings. And 3 babies & 3 adults were murdered in seconds.šŸ˜³

ITā€™Sā€”THEā€”GUNS

Its not going to change until the white baby boomers- the ones that statistically have all the guns but refused to fight for their country-die off.
The "I got mine, Fuck the rest of you" generation cares more about their delusions of grandeur than their grandkids.
Statistics and history tell us that; believe them.

@Katrags Care to cite your sources? The Pew Research Center shows gun ownership to be almost identical by age group. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2017/06/22/the-demographics-of-gun-ownership/
1. The demographics of gun ownership

Understanding gun ownership in America is not as simple as knowing who does and does not own a gun. Some Americans who donā€™t personally own guns live with someone whoā€¦

FBI, RAND, Kaiser foundation, NORC, and the NFS.
Its pretty common knowledge, and the Pew study is actually an outlier compared to the scholastic studies.
And thank you for proving my point about the commentators.

Thanks.

Nope. It doesn't. Thank you again for proving my comment. The DOJ EXPlicitly states that the highest percentage of gun owners are white, male and middle aged or older.
But , here ais another one.

Gun ownership and social gun culture

We assessed gun ownership rates in 2013 across the USA and the association between exposure to a social gun culture and gun ownership. We used data from a nationally representative sample of 4000 US adults, from 50 states and District of Columbia, aged >18ā€…years to assess gun ownership and social gun culture performed in October 2013. State-level firearm policy information was obtained from the Brady Law Center and Injury Prevention and Control Center. One-third of Americans reported owning a gun, ranging from 5.2% in Delaware to 61.7% in Alaska. Gun ownership was 2.25-times greater among those reporting social gun culture (PR=2.25, 95% CI 2.02 to 2.52) than those who did not. In conclusion, we found strong association between social gun culture and gun ownership. Gun cultures may need to be considered for public health strategies that aim to change gun ownership in the USA.

Again , boomers are the only group that lowered in education level, increased crime/drug addiction and are dying off at rates never seen in history.
Mostly because at least a third of you were unwanted babies and the reason why the WW2 generation fought so hard for legal abortion.

Sadly, stating your opinion does not make it fact. And as expected, when you lack the facts and intelligence to win the argument, just attack the person.
You're done.

Thank you for telling me you can't read the journal article I posted.
I highly suspect you are part of the 54% of American Adults that read at a 6th grade level and cannot access basic newspaper articles let alone academic journals.
Thank you for proving my point about the commenters and the fact that we just have to wait you out as you kill yourselves off.
The sooner the better, and you will not be missed.

Heā€™s white, married or divorced, high income, and over 55 years old. Unsurprisingly, heā€™s also more than twice as likely to be a member of ā€œsocial gun cultureā€ than those who don't own firearms.
