Rittenhouse, the Buffalo shooter, the Uvalde shooter and others have something in common?

They had weapons that should not be in the hands of incompetent people. Period!

The NRAers, the GOBers and Trumpsters get all wrapped up into a frenzy if we say otherwise. So many innocent lives have been taken by these unstable incompetent losers. My heart aches for the victims all the shootings. But today, I am never gonna to understand how we have our independence when we have our own citizens dying by a mass murder from a roof top on a day where families were enjoying a parade. There won’t be enough punishment for this pathetic punk, because the families will never have their loved ones back.

I was going wish everyone a Happy 4th, but well I am not going to in honor of those who aren’t having one.

Where do they get the money for them n the ammo..multiple guns, at that for some of them. They’re enabled by family who say they have no idea..he’s such a good boy. They want to blame all this on mental health issues n I’m sure that’s part of it but the hatred n the constant reassurance from Tucker n company is also a factor. This madness is not gonna end, I’m afraid.

In a society saturated with hatred and fear and awash in weapons, some mentally ill individuals become mass murderers.

In 13th century Europe, the mentally ill thought they heard the voice of the Virgin Mary

In 19th century Europe, the mentally ill may have thought they were Napoleon Bonaparte

In 21st century American, some mentally ill think they must kill
