Remember, nows not the time to talk about gun rights. Thoughts and prayers....unless this was a foreign minority, in which case we need to be enraged and angry about how immigrants are ruining this country. You know the ol' song and dance.
I'll get my prayer book.
We must arm our schoolchildren. It’s the only way. Every child should get a gun starting in the 1st grade. Only then will the shootings stop. Yeehaw.
It's like you don't even care about kindergarteners and pre-K kids. Have you no shame? Have you no soul?!
How else can the "good guy" with a gun manifest?
Guns are a constitutional right.
So the only real way to stop school shootings is to get rid of schools.
True. Education is not in the Constitution. Makes guns, not schools!
"I, as a member of Congress of the United States, would like to offer my thoughts and prayers to the family of this senseless tragedy that I will do nothing to prevent from occurring again, despite actually being in a position to do something about it. I will continue to pander to right-wing gun nuts because they've made gun-ownership their entire identity. I won't lose a single minute of sleep as I collect Russian cash laundered through the NRA because I don't really give a fuck about children. Insincerely, every GOP politician."
The sheriff said a 16-year-old boy, for whom Friday was his first day at Joppatowne High School, shot a 15-year-old classmate in a bathroom.
Fucking what the fuck. Why are you bringing a gun on your first day of school and getting into a situation where you decide to use it. Just don't talk to anyone and pretend you're not there, ffs. You know, like we used to do.
Usually gangs.
The ONLY, Literally ONLY Solution is if the Victim SHOT FIRST! There's Literally NO OTHER WAY he could have Survived!
The only way to stop a bad child with a gun is a good child with a gun.
A SAW in every classroom.
Was that the school shooting I read about on Lemmy yesterday, or a new one?
Everytime there's a school shooting I play Thoughts & Prayers by Grandson
