Well regulated militia strikes again
A dad shot and killed his three children in Ohio.
They were ages 3, 4 and 7.
In 2023 so far:
Deaths due to gun violence 19,519
Mass shootings 295
Children under 18 murdered 810
This won’t stop on its own.
It’s the guns.
I'm guessing the father was both seriously mentally ill and deeply religious (same same) and believed his version of "heaven" was better than their lives in the US.
Émile Durkheim wrote about such problems and the conditions that cause said problems in his 1897 book "Le Suicide: Étude de sociologie." Want to understand what's happening to the US today? Read that century old book.
@brianbeeler This post is about gun violence.
Bad faith arguments that put the US in this situation co opt this argument by steering it toward mental health. Another problem that the nation refuses to address but NOT MY POINT
"John Paul Stevens: Repeal the Second Amendment"
That's the real answer: repeal the second amendment. Anything less is meaningless because the SCOTUS will just continue to overturn gun reform laws.
The proliferation of gun violence in the US happens because of the very unreasonable availability of firearms but also behind every shooting is a story of suffering.
With that said repealing the 2nd amendment must happen first.
@krebstar @flexghost "Agree, however, it's never going to happen in our government in it's current configuration."
Completely agree. Like women's suffrage in the US change will only happen with repeated public protests. Our lives depend on it.
