Reports of a mass shooting this morning

And now?

11 injured, 9+ shot during mass shooting at a South Carolina park.

Victims range from 16-20 years old

119 days into 2023:
175 mass shootings
5,868 homicides
567 children (under 18) murdered

Mass shootings tripled when the assault weapon ban ended.

It's the guns.

@flexghost While I'm happy to see some states taking (at least marginally) stricter actions against guns, I have to ask why they didn't just do this years ago?

"We're not actually sure if we should enact gun control measures right away, so let's wait and see... maybe give it another 50,000 deaths or so before we know it's serious..."

😡

@the_Effekt and the Supreme Court blocking common sense gun reform because states rights…until nah.
@flexghost It should really be called the Subordinate Court.
