@nimic shamed me enough in the mega thread to make this one. How the feck did I/we get so desensitized to this abomination that it gets treated like another stupid Trump "Truth" in a megathread.

RIP little ones and feck all gun owners.

A woman shooter with two assault rifles and a pistol….Speaking as a European, how is a civilian (and presumably not a gangster) allowed to get hold of that weaponry?

Guns literally have more rights than children.

Library books (those not already banned) are tougher to rent in some states than it is to buy a gun.

There are already comments like "Oh!! it is just 3" on some forums.

Anyways, I think the natural outcome of this new tragedy is that Tennessee decides to weaken its gun laws further.

I don't think I have seen a bunch of educated citizens be so ridiculously brainwashed to think that military grade weapons are essential for survival, even if we consider the Civil War and American History. A futuristic world in which bots control human minds is usually seen in fiction, but in US, the amount of influence that narratives and propaganda have on people is staggering.
I believe some of the people can have their whole families be gunned down by lunatics, but they would still advocate for more guns.

I can already imagine NRA calling up all the polticians who are in their pockets and asking them if they can bat for them for free or do they need another donation.

Almost impossible to weaken Tennessee gun laws.

Nearly 10,000 in 3 months? For the other six G7 countries, it’s probably less than 100.

Absolutely mind blowing.

I don’t know how these figures compare with previous years but it’s grim reading regardless.

A society that tolerates this really has no hope.

Shamed me as well to be fair (rightly so)

I was going to ask you to put a date on the title to distinguish it from others. Which is just... ffs, what kind of society is this?

R.I.P. to the innocent ones.

This isn’t new information to anyone in here but worth remembering.
