"Prayers" is just boiler-plate.Kentucky Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife "send our prayers" and Kentucky Republican Rand Paul and his wife "are praying." A message to them - Hey, you guys, it's not helping!
Find me a man who was saved from death by his bible stopping a bullet and you have the next POTUS, yes sir.According to the bible thumpers (apologies to those who are religious, and sane), it's all we need. Guns and a bible.
According to 2A advocates, only way to stop a bullet is with another bullet.Find me a man who was saved from death by his bible stopping a bullet and you have the next POTUS, yes sir.
No, there has been at least 2 school shootings this last week, just neither of them had 4 or more people shot, so don't count as 'mass shootings'.Is it a lack of school shootings this past week that these “home invasions” are getting so much coverage? Like I doubt there’s any reason for a sudden surge of these incidents in this past week. And why didn’t this guy have his doors locked? Or did he get spooked that much by 2 white girls pulling at his locked door that he had to chase them down? But as a Mexican, sadly he’s going to be rotting in jail
Teens and guns. This is what could possibly go wrong.
4 dead, more than 20 wounded in Dadeville, AL (pop about 3000) at a dance studio during a Sweet 16 birthday party. Edit: now they're saying 4 dead 15 wounded. 5 critical.
Edit: now they're saying at least 28 injured. I do not know if all those were shooting injuries.
That's about all I see out there so far information wise.
And, for anyone who is keeping score, this is the 162nd mass shooting in the country this year - that's in the last 106 days. 162 in 106 days. It's got to stop. We have to make it stop.
This wouldn't have happened if Kinsley was able to protect herself. Clearly she should have had a gun.
Only if they are trained on using guns...
Uhhhhhhh, oops.
The headline of that story is sickening.
Me: When you have more guns because of more gun violence then you create an extremely paranoid society and... paranoid people within that society.
Frequent shootings put US mass killings on a record pace
Data maintained by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University shows 88 people have died in 17 mass killings since Jan. 1.apnews.com
'The U.S. is setting a record pace for mass killings in 2023, replaying the horror on a loop roughly once a week so far this year.
The carnage has taken 88 lives in 17 mass killings over 111 days. Each time, the killers wielded firearms. Only 2009 was marked by as many such tragedies in the same period of time.
Children at a Nashville grade school, gunned down on an ordinary Monday. Farmworkers in Northern California, sprayed with bullets over a workplace grudge. Dancers at a ballroom outside Los Angeles, massacred as they celebrated the Lunar New Year.
In just the last week, four partygoers were slain and 32 injured in Dadeville, Alabama, when bullets rained down on a Sweet 16 celebration. And a man just released from prison fatally shot four people, including his parents, in Bowdoin, Maine, before opening fire on motorists traveling a busy interstate highway.'
I know the numbers don't automagically increase every year, and it's more of an ebb & flow...until you look at it by decade. How is it going to look in another 20 or 30 years, with gun rights and regulations being loosened as or more often than being better regulated and necessarily restricted.
Only if they are trained on using guns...
Uhhhhhhh, oops.

Revisionists claim it's a mistranslation, and only means murder.Well, gosh, we just need to put the Ten Commandments back in school, but we also need more guns everywhere... despite one of those commandments having something to say on the subject of killing.
Interesting how the 2nd Amendment is absolutely not open to interpretation, it obviously means all the guns all the time, but apparently there's a lot of wiggle room in the four words "Thou shalt not kill"? I mean, suuuuure, one of these was written by men, and the other is meant to have come directly from God, the creator of all things, but one should carry more weight than the other, I guess, and it's not the God one?
