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 NO, It's the people because other places have similar high rates if not higher of [illegal] guns yet don't have that issue...

The problem is called #StochasticTerrorism because #mainsteam #MassMedia rewards said acts with #PropagandaOfTheDeed and #airtime.

And that is the problem people deny.

Also statistics say the numbers go do constantly...

Fighting with these Facebook researchers is a complete waste of time.

Imagine someone so butt hurt about their ammosexuality they get offended when you post about the fact gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in america

@flexghost @jbraem

In fact, the amount of #PropagandaOfTheDeed an #airtime MUST be considered a public #reward for said acts of #StochasticTerrorism.

Because people kill people.

Guns ain't sentient: it's just metal and/or plastic!

Otherwise we'd not jail theones pulling the triggers.

@kkarhan @flexghost @jbraem The US has 350 million guns. Germany looks like a playground

@infiniteone @flexghost @jbraem Germany has >40M illegal firearms + 16M legal ones.
I'd say that's a higher density per capita.

The problem ain't guns not the availability!
And no I'm not gonna do illegal shit to win an argument on the internet...

What is different here is that #mainsteam #MassMedia isn't committed to #PropagandaOfTheDeed and boosting #StochasticTerroridm.

@kkarhan @flexghost

I think most of the time we are talking about the legal guns in the US, not the illegal ones.

Illegal gun acquisitions are more expensive and dangerous. People wanting to blow away a school to get famous may not have the cartel connections needed to get guns that are otherwise banned.

Let's talk about America's legal guns and compare our results with other countries' legal 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.
NRA leaders forged ties with Maria Butina while she was helping target Ukraine

The gun group claimed it didn't know about the Russian agent's actions, but the evidence was public.

@flexghost

This is the carnage the GOP promised America… only they are the cause of it…. it’s in your neighborhoods, at your parks, churches, grocery, nightclubs, schools… 😢

@flexghost Mass shootings in the U.S. used to be news in Australia. All quiet.
@flexghost So much freedumb … enjoy your weekend everyone!
@flexghost if guns were regulated, if abortion went back to the way it was, etc. etc....the "crime" is the only ticket to success...voters are funny, chaotic society often leads them to vote not against the chaos, but the party in power that's not controlling it. the republican-autocratic-right can only seize power by making everyone miserable enough to give them power. then they'll control guns well enough---autocrats don't want anyone that might use them against them to have the same tools
@flexghost they used to create disorder,
