found them years ago. We have now begun the countdown to the claims of "false flag operations." It is always someone else's fault. It is a goddamn shame, but there it is.

They won't mention that one of the first things Trump did as president was strike down the Obama-era rule prohibiting the mentally ill from buying firearms.

Let's force birthing babies only to be mowed down trying to learn how to read on an empty stomach because they didn't have any breakfast, may not get any lunch may have to go home alone because mom can't afford to lose her job and are dealing with an illness because republicans allow everyone to have unrestricted access to guns but kill access to help with food insecurity, access to healthcare, a federal minimum wage, paid leave and a whole host of other safety nets.

This shit is still going on years after Sandy Hook. We'll hear about a lot of "thoughts & prayers" and then this one will be forgotten just like all of the others before it. And given that this one is relatively "minor" ('only' 14 killed), it will be forgotten even more quickly.

Then we'll be all primed for the next one that will be sure to come in short order as they ALWAYS do. And there will be more 'thoughts & prayers' and more bullshit, and nothing will change.

I have no more fucks left to give.How many of these parents own guns? How many texans
want to be able to walk around with a gun on their hip likes it's the fucking wild west? How
many vote for republicans who want no control or restrictions on buying guns? If this is the society you want, these are the consequences.

She will never do anything about guns.

and needs to repeated over and over and over again, they care about guns, power and money. They don't give two shits about children, born or not. They're telling us exactly who they are. Might as well repeat it again and again on the campaign trail, in the halls of Congress, everywhere.

do all his problems get shifted to outside world to the extent that it's "logical" for him to take his guns and shoot up a school?

Seriously, trying to understand what went wrong there.
And how to stop it happening again.

Tots and pears won't cover it. Never will, never did.
The Now-is-not-the-time-for-talking-about gun-control response won't help either.

May I suggest an open search warrant for law enforcement to go through every house and business in Texas, and confiscate every lethal weapon and ammo they find, for a huge gun destruction party?
Bugger licences of any kind.

Yes, not going to happen.

Have your tots and pears ready for the next one, in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 . . . . .

How fucking dare him in calling this a "mass causality event" instead of a massacre!
