not even a stock ticker could keep up.....We are the victims of our own arrogance and stupidity....2nd Amendment, by gosh, it's the key to our liberty!

We are reaping what we have sown.

This is so sad, frustrating, and depressingly familiar. So much idiotic rhetoric from right-wing assholes about protecting kids from trans-story hour and Democrats who fictitiously run pedophile rings, but there is nothing but radio-silence from these cowards on issues that actually kill children. If your moral position on developing a beneficent future for children revolves around such pseudo-issues of pronouns, teaching an accurate and self-reckoning history of the USA, and perhaps even renaming or removing a few public edifices or statues, respectively, you are doing it wrong. And kids are dying.

Exactly this.

This one was just a couple hours away from me. It's so disheartening to read local forums and see the discourse around it. You would think that something like this happening so close to home would make people see the light, but as always, that's not the case. It's just the same story as always from the lunatics. "Prayers for those affected, but the aftermath of a tragedy isn't the time to politicize it." Nobody callous enough to come right out and say it, but implicitly saying that these kids deaths are necessary sacrifices on the altar of freedom so that they can keep their toys.

F*** their thoughts, and f*** their prayers. Stop acting like helpless cowards who have no agency over these tragedies and actually do something about it. It's not impossible. EVERY other developed country on this planet has figured out how to avoid it.
 
so that they can keep their toys.

Great post but this part is the truest of them all. That is all guns are to these people, toys, extremely dangerous and life changing toys.

If that is what floats your boat then fine, enjoy your toys. Nobody is trying to take them away from you, they are trying to protect innocent lives, innocent children. They are saying that these toys that are literally designed to kill living beings should be regulated, items that are not designed to literally kill but can kill are regulated so why not guns?? We know the answer, obviously.
