¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I heard the news call the shooter a “troubled country boy” like fuck off he is a human piece of garbage radicalised by white supremisist and Nazi BS online.

And this is the truth.

Gun safety laws and gun bans worked.

Imagine if the goal was to cut gun deaths by 10%. That would be a tremendous first step.

We have no goals. We know gun violence is rising. We need a debate. We need new leaders. We need research. We can’t build a better society with unlimited gun lobby funding of Republicans.

“24 years ago today President Clinton signed our Assault Weapons Ban into law. Over the next 10 years there were 37% fewer gun massacres and 43% fewer gun massacre deaths. But in the 10 years after the ban expired in 2004, gun massacre deaths rose 239%. [In bright blue text:] #EnoughIsEnough”

im sure there’s a self-own in here somewhere but i’m gonna leave this one up to sarcastic teens on the internet

Fixed it

I’ll just leave this here

It’s true. My mom does this ALL the time. Like, no joking, I try to tell her its dangerous as hell, but she just doesn’t listen. I got so scared I started to take the bus when I’m going to school and I get it when I’m out. In some days, she doesn’t want to give me money for it, because she wants me to ride with her. I’m like “No. You’re gonna kill us one day.”

So please,

DON’T FUCKING TEXT AND DRIVE. ESPECIALLY OF YOU ’VE GOT KIDS WITH YOU.

don’t fucking text and drive especially of you ’ve got kids with you

Honestly what kind of heartless monster do you have to be in the first place, that when kids are saying ‘we’d like to not live every day with the terror of being murdered by automatic weapons in school,’ you respond with fucking snark about how those kids are all irresponsible or something anyway?? Like-- 

The fact that their representation of who texts & drives is also just flat out demonstrably wrong is just the cherry on top for me. 

[A photo of the front page of the newspaper The Daily News dated Saturday May 19, 2018. “The Daily News” appears in large white type across the top of the page, with “New York’s Hometown Newspaper” underneath in smaller red type. 

The image on the page appears to be white letters engraved in black marble like a gravestone. The engraved text reads: 

“With yesterday’s Taxes massacre, there have now been more students or teachers killed by guns in U.S. schools than active-duty military deaths in 2018.

“No headline can do this justice.”]

Tbh after Sandyhook, that was when I knew the conversation surrounding guns in America was dead. If nothing was done when these babies were murdered, nothing will ever be done

America didn’t. care. when 1st grade Children were massacred. There is nothing in the world that is going to stop guns in the USA. Not a damn thing.

We all know this. And it’s nauseating.

Let’s have the conversation. Men and guns are a toxic combination. There is an obvious addiction to violence.

To the point.

Politicians don’t have to take NRA money. Many on the Left do not. If you want to end the cycle of gun lobbyists buying spineless politicians, vote for Democrats.

[A screenshot of a tweet from Bob Weiss / @BobWeiss91362 written in black text on a white background. The user’s icon is circular and shows an older pale man with white hair smiling at the camera. The tweet reads:

My daughter was brutally murdered in a mass school shooting. What makes you think your child won’t be next. I don’t want your fucking sympathy. I want you to stop voting for gun-whore politicians. 

This is followed by a photo of two people, the same older pale man with white hair as in the user icon wearing a ball cap and a pale teenage girl with long light brown hair, both smiling at the camera.]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

GOOD GUY WITHOUT A GUN saves the day. Once again, the NRA’s imaginary hero, “good guy with a gun,” was nowhere to be found.

Salute to a real one: James Shaw, Jr.

Police have been aware of past incidents involving guns with the mass shooter. I can’t qwhite fugue it out, but for some reason he wasn’t arrested, even after previous credible threats, including a 2017 incident at the White House.

also: we could try killing fewer preschoolers. 

This guy’s gut instinct was that any amount of preschoolers being shot dead annually is normal.

This is the most wholesome political comic I’ve ever seen.

I can’t argue with him...

If I could rise up and applaud I would. THIS! fucking THIS.

You know what bullied people do? they take it out on themselves. They go home and hang themselves, they don’t pick up a gun and think “i’ll show them!”, that’s anger, entitlement, resentment. That’s not bullying doing it, that’s being a fucking asshole.

the last shooting? He killed that girl because she fucking dumped him. How, just HOW is that not fucking entitlement right there?

“White men from prosperous families grow up with the expectation that our voices will be heard. We expect politicians and professors to listen to us and respond to our concerns. We expect public solutions to our problems. And when we’re hurting, the discrepancy between what we’ve been led to believe is our birthright and what we feel we’re receiving in terms of attention can be bewildering and infuriating. Every killer makes his pain another’s problem. But only those who’ve marinated in privilege can conclude that their private pain is the entire world’s problem with which to deal. This is why, while men of all races and classes murder their intimate partners, it is privileged young white dudes who are by far the likeliest to shoot up schools and movie theaters.”
