2. 2nd amendment apologists are all type-cast Lady McBeths

In the USA as it is today, to defend the 2nd-A is to have blood on one's hands and blinders on the eyes, plus a large hole in the heart space where morality is supposed to be.

4. Well said...

[Evolve Dammit]

3. This is all on the NRA fascist gun humpers and their lobbyists. NRA was a decent group 50 years ago.

It's insanity now. Total fear and anger whipped up by 45 years of Limbaugh and the right.

[TeamProg]

7. Also economics for gun manufacturers. They saw the declining interest in hunting so the next

way to gun increase sales was home protection and "self defense".

Peace is prosperous for most, but not defense contractors or weapons manufacturers, wouldn't you say?

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Yes. The fear was instilled by GOP over decades. Willie Horton (GHW Bush), dirty anti-war

protestors (Reagan), communists (Goldwater), etc. They are coming to replace you ("Replacement Theory&quot is the new message coupled with "cancel culture" (you won't have a voice) "Woke" (look out) and now we have to steal the election because we're the patriots and can't let "them" govern (or even exist). We are heading for a very dark time as the divide is now entrenched. Hope I'm wrong!

[gldstwmn]

16. All the Russian money that has been funneled their way in the last decade or so

was part of Putin's plan to arm America to the teeth and sow dissent through cyber warfare and watch it implode IMO. It nearly worked. Of course they made sure that found it's way to the politicians too.

[oldsoftie]

17. I think Putin is finding that an armed citizenry in Ukraine is kicking his ass.

he's not to blame for what the NRA is today, its idiot extremists who think everyone should be able to carry a gun without a license or a back round check. And then bitch when people who carry them illegally USE them.

[gldstwmn]

30. The people in Ukraine were given rifles

just prior to the war. What he's doing by funneling money to the NRA is completely different.

[Evolve Dammit]

23. Why isn't this being investigated and prosecuted? Or did Citizen's United make it all legal?

[gldstwmn]

31. Maria Butina was convicted in 2018.

Alexander Torchin was under investigation and Trump pardoned Erikson.

[Evolve Dammit]

32. Thanks. IF we ever see the unredacted Mueller report, there may be further insights?

[gldstwmn]

35. I believe so. But I thought we might have gotten to see it by now.

The wheels of progress turn slowly.

[Evolve Dammit]

36. I just hope they're turning in the right direction...

[RussBLib]

34. and now Butina is in the Russian Duma

She recently said Ukrainians were bombing themselves to try to make Russia look bad.

[TeamProg]

5. So, where was the "good guy with a gun"? A) That's a fantasy, The guys with guns are

either law enforcement or COWARDS, including the shooter.

Obviously.

[AndyS]

6. I don't know who the shooter(s) are but I would bet good money

that they bought the gun legally and were a 'law abiding citizen' right up to the time the shooting began.

God or somebody save me from the Law Abiding Citizens among us.

[Initech]

10. Let's think about Texas for a minute...

The state whose policy towards gun violence is "fuck it"... not surprised this doesn't happen there more often.

But yeah fuck the NRA and gun nut absolutionists.

[AndyS]

12. I live in the DFW area of Texas and not a single day goes by that there isn't a shooting

in either Dallas or Ft Worth. They are like minor traffic accidents, not worth noticing unless it blocks a freeway for four hours. Daily violence is the largest part of gun violence, just the day to day domestic abuse or road rage or a bystander to a drive-by.

NOT A SINGLE DAY.

[Skittles]

29. it happens all the time in Texas

it's just considered another day

[oldsoftie]

18. The vast majority of shootings are NOT with legally owned weapons.

However, most large scale shooters DO have legal weapons.

[maxsolomon]

19. All guns start out legal.

Often they're stolen, sure. A legal owner fucked up somewhere along the line.

This will turn out to be a testosterone-addled youth.

[oldsoftie]

21. Sounds like it. Probably the same with the Sacramento shooting.

Along with most shootings across the country every day. Its a culture problem as much as a gun problem.

[DFW]

8. Sacramento and Dallas in the same weekend

What, are the gun nuts taking next week off?

[SoCalDavidS]

9. This Is Quite Common In Shithole Countries nt

[llashram]

13. guns, guns, guns

I just thank the standoff shootouts in the middle of the street during the pacification genocide of this country and the First Peoples by 'early' Americans, as one major reason for the gun culture in this country. And many thanks go out to the Chinese for giving the world...gunpowder

[ZonkerHarris]

14. Pandemic is "over" so we can get back to shooting each other out in public.

America in its natural state.

[gldstwmn]

15. Every weekend now there are multiple mass shootings.

[maxsolomon]

20. Oddly, they don't say who's concert.

Was is country music?

Was it hip hop?

Was it classical?

I guess the whys and wherefores don't matter.

[sarisataka]

22. I found a few sources that said the event was the

Second Annual Epic Easter Bike Out & Field Party
https://allevents.in/events/bossman-bubba-presents-2nd-annual-epic-easter-event/10000264939450027

[Skittles]

25. I find that odd, too

it begs the natural question, who was playing?

[maxsolomon]

26. maybe they left it unsaid

because it was an african-american event, per the link above.

[Skittles]

27. and...why would they do that

the press has never seemed shy about demonizing POC

[maxsolomon]

28. progress?

when the right discusses gun violence, black-on-black shootings are what they focus on. but it's usually the focus on the internecine gun violence in chicago because it's a "democrat city".

[rockfordfile]

24. Who lets people bring guns to a concert

[inthewind21]

33. Texas

That's who. Pretty much no restrictions there. My home state. Bailed out of that insanity 10 years ago and I don't go back unless absolutely necessary.
