So, too many doors was the reason for the mass shooting at a 4th of July parade?
Not enough good guys with guns?
No. Of course not. It’s the easy availability of guns. That’s it. That’s the only rational answer. Everything else is spin by GOPers and NRA that care only abt guns.— lawhawk #vaxxedforfamilyandcommunity (@lawhawk) July 5, 2022
Mass shootings are a distinctly US thing. We have mass shootings in every situation, scenario, and location.
Drive bys? We got ‘em. (too many to identify)
Sniper nest shooters? We got those too (Las Vegas)
School shootings (Robb Elementary is just the latest)
Churches? Yeah, all denominations.
Synagogues? Yup. Tree of Life.
Colleges/universities? VA Tech.
Supermarkets?
Malls?
Movie Theaters?
Yes, Yes, and Yes.
Targeting cops? Yup. Those too.
Know what the defining characteristic for all those shootings? Easy availability of guns. It’s not doors. It’s not lack of good guys with guns. It’s not lack of teachers with guns.
It’s the fucking guns.
And this right wing lunatic asylum of a SCOTUS decided to gut gun regulations in a state with among the lowest per capita gun death rate in nation. States with strong gun laws have far lower per capita death rates from guns than lax states. That’s not a surprise. It’s highly correlated. Easy access to guns, when there’s no requirements for training, handling, or safety, means that it’s easier to shoot and kill on purpose. It’s also easier to have negligent handling incidents.
