How about instead of naming the next mass shooting after the city where it happened, we name it after a member of government who has done nothing to stop it? The next one should be the #GregAbbottMassacre

You own the deaths and massacres forthcoming from that failed hands off policy asking for gun safety and gun control.

(6,831 posts)McConnell's refusal to allow ANY legislation to reach the Senate floor - after all of these shootings - really does tell us where his loyalties lie . . . in the checkbooks of the NRA and the gun manufacturers, but NOT with Americans.

Yep. WE can do branding, too.

(2,012 posts)I often wonder what Abbott would be spewing if one of his children or grandchildren had been in one of Texas' massacres.

(4,986 posts)....when he was asked if he would support the death penalty if Kitty were raped and murdered?
A seeming uncaring response pretty much sunk him....
Would Abbott respond in a like manner?

(50,557 posts)The next one should be the #DonaldTrumpMassacre.
Next, the #MattSchaeferMassacre.
Then the #MoscowMitchMassacre.
The #WayneLaPierreMassacre has to be in there somewhere.
You can have your #GregAbbottMassacre in due course. I'm sure there will be more than enough of them, which sickens me to consider.

(6,448 posts)The "Guy with a small penis" massacre and the "Guy who can't get laid" massacre. That could deter someone who wouldn't want that label.

(22,114 posts)ment that are STOPPING or hampering efforts for more effective gun legislation, this would put more of a kick into efforts to rein in this ongoing slaughter.
One thing for sure, they aren't beefing up support for mental illness or anything like that (despite what rump says), I haven't seen anything come across on my medical plan updates for mental illness (most plans are very minor/lacking in supporting mental illnesses)...
