Most gun owners actually do want some reform, but they are drowned out by the loudmouths with the NRA.

All this attention turns to Matthew McConaughey now because this is his hometown. Why? What the fuck is he going to do? He's a fucking actor. Celebrity worship is another problem in this country and it's why we wound up with the must unqualified person to ever be President. I like Matthew, but who the fuck cares what he thinks? yeah, he thinks it's tragic.........he's human, no shock there. Celebrity Worship. If Oprah ran for the Democrats, she'd be their nominee in a blink, it wouldn't even be close.

Schools will look like prisons soon. That probably isn't going to help the mental health of children. That's going to be our solution. The prison industry will be put in charge of it and someone will get rich, how American.

We don't let 18-20 year olds legally drink. Why? Because they are not mature enough. Well if they aren't mature enough to drink...........Two people under 21 in the last 10 days, 13 and 21 victims. Now these folks have to deal with all the media swarming them like vultures picking at what's left of their lives. What new question are you going to ask these people? What new answer do you think you'll get? How will it be different than any other community that has dealt with this? Just leave 'em alone.

Its because in our macho culture we still look at mental illness as a weakness and not a medical condition and then on the other end of the spectrum they treat that medical condition with loads of drugs that only mask the problem like pain killers. When I took opioids for my back for 18 months it allowed me to function, but it didn't make my back better. So many of these shooters, especially the younger ones, are completely numbed out on these drugs. There is a correlation between the sudden spike in the use of these drugs and the spike in shootings. I know before the pandemic that something like 93% of mass shooters under 40 were on these legal drugs.

I am mad at myself today. Yesterday when the news first broke and it said 2 were dead I thought "oh, only 2", as if a single 3rd grader shot at school isn't totally horrific. All that's really left to wonder is what state it happens in next and how many. I am stunned this hasn't happed at a sporting event............especially so many open stadiums that look out into a sea of buildings (like Comerica), or the mass of people that gather at an entry point like the sea of people trying to get into 3 gates at Michigan Stadium. Someone pointed out to me the rooftop snipers on top of the press boxes at Michigan games, they do a great job of blending them into to look like stadium workers. It's really messed up to think about. Gotta have snipers for just watching a football game.

They'll just say they were faked.........they were staged. You know, like the moon landing and the round earth.

Well, if I had the funds I'd be leaving. Ireland, Spain, somewhere where there are no mass shootings. Hell, even Ireland and all it's Troubles is a lot safer now than this place.

Not enough gun restrictions NRA hero-with-a-gun culture bullying (around the clock now) hip hop culture (sorry, but even if you like the music you have to admit that it glorifies violence and normalizes it, just like rock & roll normalized drugs) extreme Republicanism violent videogames lack of mental health support (in every state) the internet over prescribing of powerful mind-altering, but legal drugs corporate greed They all play a part...........and the common thing except for the bullying and lack of mental health, they are all big money-makers, aren't they)

Not the "far left" asshole. Most GUN OWNERS support more restrictions.

3 children were killed from lawn jarts.................they were banned.

And two mass shootings at Fort Hood in the last 20 years..............think anyone was trained there?

Which well-regulated militia was this guy a part of. And Ted, you should just avoid all this and go to Cancun. You've had practice.

He was part of the community, judging by the picture I've seen I think he was Hispanic too. Life not going how he wanted (at 18) so someone had to pay. Just fucking kill yourself then.

What legal, corporate-approved drugs was this bastard on?

The governor of Texas can go fuck himself.

Welp, I got the news wrong because someone had to be first to report it and reported it wrong Fuck this country.

I have seen 2 children dead with 2 others (a 66 year old female) in critical condition. They have the suspect in custody. He's gonna get exactly what he deserves in prison.

If only those 2nd & 3rd Graders were armed.................Thursday was set to be their last day of school.

It's just another Tuesday in America https://www.huffpost.com/entry/children-killed-shooting-at-texas-elementary-school-report_n_628d386de4b0edd2d01c027a

you are one mean Canadian.

So after all that, a happy ending.

Saw the meme the other day..............

It's getting harder to watch the game itself, changing game balls, using humidors, the shift, the stupid rules, our team sucking..........tough enough to compete with some much other material out there, but it's worse when you kill yourself, baseball. Manfred is the worst of the four big sports and it's not even close.

Rob Manfred just announced that every player who called Carlton Fisk "Pudge" will be retroactively suspended for fat-shaming, including Fisk himself. Fuck you Tim Anderson, I already hated you but now you made me take sides with Josh Donaldson? There's a difference between someone busting your balls (based on your own proclamation) and someone being racist, but maybe it's just that you can flap your gob at others but can't take it when it's done to you. Now that Brett Gardner's gone, you are #1 now. If the Yankees don't dot you the next time you step to the plate, they are cowards.
