they are happening in rapidly increasing frequency. NOTHING is done. Right wing politicians come out and toss out the thoughts and prayers. And of course the killings will continue, and the frequency will increase.
What a bunch of dumb asses. If nothing is done, then why WOULD they stop?
Guns - and gun nuts - are making a mockery out of life itself.

THIS IS THE RESULT THEY WANT.
They WANT this. This result is the goal.
How can I say this? It seems inconceivable... Because this result is inevitable with their policy priorities. And they won't change their policy no matter what the consequences of that policy. Ergo, the result is the goal, because the result is unavoidable given the policy they have pursued and achieved.

(60,041 posts)I remember that the Boston Marathon bombing had very graphic videos and photos - and all that happened is a whole flock of deniers - the Alex Jones types - emerged.
We are caught between a rock and a hard place, because with more guns than people and politicians in the pockets of the gun lobby, nothing will happen. It ends up always being about money and power.

(25,298 posts)that was on MSNBC. Right next to the MSNBC screen was the Fox screen on this News Mix.
MSNBC's crawler indicated that it was a 'mass shooting' with 8 dead and the ninth as the shooter in Texas.
Fox News was talking about the crime rate rising in NYC. Hmmm.... I wonder why?

(823 posts)We are unarmed while we allow the insane to acquire the weapons to kill us.
Our government will do nothing to rectify the situation because they are corrupt pawns of those who profit from the sale of those weapons of war.
We will lose and lose and lose over and over and over.
Both sides are insane.

She's dead, She's dead
Some fool with a gun shot her in the head
She's dead, she's dead
Working at a convenience store to try to make
your life a little more
Some fool shot her with his .44 and
You don't get to see her anymore
She's dead, she's dead
They claim they're pro-life but
She's dead, She's dead
The money they get is just too damn good

Thoughts and prayers

For you and you're just a little tot
they hope that you soon forgot
How they stood and lied
She's dead

(49,138 posts)Mass killings, atrocious as they are, have become "normalized" by RWers and the gun lobby, who direct their outrage at anyone they feel threatens their 2nd Amendment rights.
