---

There was no word from officials on the exact number of victims but a graphic photo shared by a witness showed at least six victims on the ground. All appeared to be teenagers.

A witness at the scene said the total number of victims was higher, including multiple people who died at the scene, which officials have yet to confirm. White sheets were covering the bodies, she said.

Multiple families were seen gathering outside a local hospital.

It is the guns. End of story. Fuck the NRA and the republican party too. I bet you an
assault rifle rifle were used. 2 dead and 4 wounded in KY and AL looks like a slaughter

I am concerned that we are going to start reading about these type of stories from Florida now that DeSantis signed the crazy law where anyone can have a gun.

I spoke to a guy who sells guns about the Florida law, and he tells me that the good thing about the law is that there is a "3-day cooling period", meaning that you can buy a gun today but you have to wait three whole days to get it (if you are angry thinking about doing something stupid, they expect the three days to cool you off), and "the best" he said, is that week-ends don't count, so if you buy a gun on Friday you have to wait until Wednesday to get it, as if a crazy person who has already waited a long time to get their hands on a gun will care if he/she has to wait a few more days. Anyway, expect sales to rise on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Total insanity!

bastardized, I think it's important to underscore that this is happening to us because a handful of judges decided to ignore historical context, intent, and the predictable result of weaponizing human instability.

That it is not false to fact to say the people shooting were part of the militia.

There is organized militia, the National Guard, and there is the unorganized militia, consisting of all able-bodied citizens, who can be summoned by proclamation in emergencies. These are things still extant in defining law, though certainly the latter portion has fallen into disuse.

So in point of fact, while the usual wielder of a firearm in crime is not part of a well-regulated militia, he is certainly part of the militia....

It is an arcane thing now, and my comments on this are largely an antiquarian's twitch, but at the country's founding, and for some while after, it was a living thing. Militia in the early days was called up mostly on the frontier, for hostilities with Indian tribes. Once assembled in a body, militia drafts organized themselves, electing officers, and securing needed supplies. But persons liable to, or eligible for, active militia service, were as a matter of law part of the militia, whether in that portion of it summoned to arms at a particular place and time or still at home in the fields or workshops.

Here is the current Federal law on the matter:

§246. Militia: composition and classes

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

(b) The classes of the militia are—

(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

There were before the Civil War private militia companies, private in the sense that someone sponsored the unit, paid for uniforms and saw to members drilling like regulars on occasion. They were not used as private armies in the war-lord sense, and rallied to any militia summons in their communities. Forces like this made up much of the armies on both sides of the Civil War, at least initially, and were the practical basis for the National Guard as it is today. To the best of my knowledge the Spanish-American War marked the last employment of privately raised militias in combat by the United States.

Rage-a-holics and trigger-happy cops are everywhere, and they don't care about location in the least. Public, private--all that matters is acting on their rage with as much violence as possible.

It enables and condones mass murder by an insane interpretation of our 2nd Amendment which does not tolerate sane regulation of weapons of war.

I think its a fake report, someone posted a pic on twitter of supposedly six victims on the ground
all dead, not a lot of blood, their bodies all intact, photo looked really really faked. I mean photo was real but it just looked like a bunch of kids playing dead

It did happen. Your skepticism is misplaced, and was based on zero information.

Frankly, you knew nothing to support your denial of what happened. That's reckless, it seems to me.

Gone to all the major Alabama news papers, NOTHING.

Searching social media, (twitter) for Dadeville Shooting, Alabama shooting, etc etc and
one of the news reports are coming from "Big Daddy Booty??" and all these unlegit
news sites that I haven't heard of.

I dont care how small the town is, I think this is just a repugnant prank and I hope Im right.

is Alabama local faux news and they're just using BNO as their source.

The picture also that was going around twitter, seem to be the cleanest mass shooting pic
ever, never knew mass shooting victims had no visible marks and would lie on the floor, like
they're doing snow angels.

Again, hope Im right.

You need to stop pretending this isn't real. That is an all too familiar stance, and it doesn't reflect well on anyone holding it.

But it was the traitor party that passed the laws that made it all possible.

They are responsible for the carnage. They were the ones who made it all accepted, in the legal sense. Nobody else could do it.
