They know what guns can do to people, they just don't care if it happens to you.

What makes this photograph remarkable is you see a group of people on stage perfectly willing to let children die for money being confronted by someone who is not. That is absolutely what is happening in this picture.
America is lost. And as long as people keep on believing that their freedom depends on the tea leaf interpretation of late 18th century document written by pre industrial rich landed white men for the benefit of pre industrial rich landed white men, then it’s doomed

Gov. Glenn Youngkin could still veto. The fact that it got this far is pretty amazing.

I made this, because Lesley Boone as leader of the Aloha Girls was just so cool. Anyone else notice how freaking rare it is to see a fat woman on Hawaii Five-0?

Some fucking psychopath saw the story about a six year old shooting his teacher and was trying to “inform me” that children in New Mexico are being “trained” to carry out school shootings in America, based on how many minority students of that district are there.`
Because of course gun nuts are going to go straight to racism every chance they get.
And course they’re going to ignore the fact that most mass shooters in America are white and have been born in America. (Y’know, because that’s how statistics works.) The one time the child could be Hispanic they’re going to jump on it.
People were calling for a total ban of immigrants crossing the border (specifically the brown ones) as soon as they found out that the Uvalde shooter from North Dakota has a Hispanic-sounding last name.
All gun nuts really are are bigots who hopes to have the opportunity to kill people and call it “self defense.”
Edit: I guess I misread what they were saying. I was thinking that they were saying a new Mexico compound, like it’s been recently made. Not that people are training children to commit school shootings in New Mexico, the state.

January 2023 isn't even over yet and I'm already losing track of mass shootings in the gunliest country in the world. Goshen, Monterey Park, Half Moon Bay, and Oakland in California at least and maybe I've missed some?!?! #GunControlNow

GOP doesn't want the CDC to study gun violence because the CDC might figure out a way to decrease gun violence.

there is shooting on the tv.
and the heroine comes in, guns blazing, sexy and witty with all the right answers i wish i had
or
and the david attenborough type walks me through it so i learn something about american history
british history, sudanese, thai, australian, mexican, yemeni, nigerian, peruvian, guyanese, haitian, turkmen, irish, palestinian,
take your pick, any of them work
or
and when the names of the dead scroll i know every single one is younger than me
or
and i see in the background a neighborhood i used to drive through when i still lived in my hometown
or
and a reporter says the emts got shot at, i wonder if i knew any of them
ems is a tight-knit community
or
and i don't get the appeal of these violent video games,
i just remember all the articles i've read about how constant exposure to violent media puts children at risk for normalizing or
gd forbid,
engaging in violence themselves
or
and the police saved the day,
actors are much more competent
and movies are much more generous
or
i could shut the damn screen off.
nobody is shooting at me here
i'm going to make myself some tea
