can you talk about the recent shooting in texass to remind us that this is not suprising and what steps to take

Texas Shooting: Those who Govern the US & Owns the Means of Production (ie: the Capitalist) don't give a fuck about the safety of the masses of the working classes. They profit from the violence, death, and disruption. The Solution: Stop dealing with this Symptoms (school shootings, poor mental health, community dissolution, apathy, reactionary violence, police atrocities, etc) and deal with the root of the issue (ie: be Radical): Capitalism, White Hegemony, Sexism (sexism drives men to see violence as their right and a confirmation of their manhood).

The Future Of Gun Culture After Texas Shooting

The 27th shooting in schools this year occurred at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 children and two adults were slain. The shooter in Tuesday’s events, according to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, was dead.

This is the bloodiest school massacre since 2012, when a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, killing 26 children as young as six years old. And the number of people killed was more than in the 2018 attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, which left 17 people dead.

Robb Elementary educates kids in grades 2 through 4 in Uvalde, a predominantly Latino hamlet about 85 miles south of San Antonio.

This comes just ten days after ten people were killed in a shooting at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York. Politicians, activists, the news media, and regular citizens frequently quote figures in the emotionally charged aftermath of school shootings, which can provide a skewed image of how many of these instances occur. These figures are used to stoke ongoing discussions about gun regulation, teacher arming, and school safety.

Inside the American Gun Culture

The United States is one of only three countries with a constitution that guarantees gun ownership. (The other two countries are Mexico and Guatemala.) The Second Amendment, which guarantees the right “of the people to keep and bear weapons,” was enacted in the 18th century to allow states to raise militias to defend themselves against federal despotism. The US Supreme Court concluded in 2008 that the amendment also protects individual gun rights. Aside from the legalities, gun culture in America has become a cultural icon in the U.S. Soldiers in the Revolutionary War and cowboys roaming the Wild West used it as a weapon.

Assault weapons, or semiautomatic rifles that shoot rounds in rapid succession, have recently acquired favour among both law-abiding gun owners and mass killers. Although less common, mass shootings in other countries have sparked debates about legislation. In early 2019, a massacre of 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand forced a change in the country’s gun regulations.

Accidents involving firearms are a common occurrence in the United States

Between 1968 and 2017, there were 1.5 million of them, which is more than the number of soldiers killed in any US combat since the American War for Independence in 1775.

More than 45,000 more Americans died at the end of a gun barrel in 2020 than in any other year on record, whether by homicide or suicide. The statistics indicate a 25% increase over the previous five years and a 43% increase over 2010.

However, the topic is a polarising one, putting proponents of gun control against others who are adamant about exercising their constitutionally protected right to keep and carry guns.

Political Aftermath

After lawmakers returned home from the 2019 legislative session, Texas was once again shocked by a racist attack at an El Paso Walmart, which killed 23 people and injured dozens more. At the time, the shooter informed authorities that he chose the spot because of its proximity to the border and that he was especially targeting Mexicans. He’s been charged with a federal hate crime, but he hasn’t been tried yet.

State leaders gathered hastily once more to consider alternative remedies.

A gunman killed seven people and injured 22 others while driving through Odessa and Midland a few weeks later before lawmakers could even offer comments.

💚#ArtIsAWeapon Remembering the 26 precious lives tragically taken at #SandyHookElementarySchool 10 years ago 12.14.2022, and sending love to their families and community. When nothing substanative was done by politicians to #endgunviolence in the aftermath of this horrific incident, I realized just how much Americans love guns and refuse to acknowledge or be accountable for this public health crisis. If the murder of 20 innocent little children in their classrooms did not cause a radical change in #gunlaws and shift in #gunculture to prevent this from ever happening again, exactly what would?? Graphic and caption reposted from MySandyHookFamily.org - December 14, 2012 forever and unalterably changed the lives of the 26 families whose loved ones were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Since that day, we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of kindness, love, prayers, and generosity received from the entire world. To simply say thank you is not enough to express our sincere gratitude. In the midst of our grief we have come to realize that we want our loved ones to be remembered for the lives they lived and how they touched our hearts. We have been uplifted by the support of so many people and we would like to keep that spirit of unity and love alive in all we do to remember those we so dearly miss. It is with this in mind that we have created the MySandyHookFamily.org website. This website is intended to serve as a singular place of sharing, communication, and contact with the families of those who lost their lives that day. MySandyHookFamily.org allows us, the 26 families, the opportunity to honor our loved ones in a way that feels right to each individual family. We ask that you understand that each of us – each family – is unique in our own experiences following this tragedy and we each have our own voice and perspective. By creating this website, we hope to offer an opportunity to communicate with our families and honor our loved ones, while at the same time respecting each family’s individual journey and unique experiences. #SandyHook #Uvalde #Parkland #Columbine #GunViolenceIsAPublicHealthCrisis #ThisIsAmerica https://www.instagram.com/p/CmLmokyujS0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“The teachers sacrificed their lives for the kids but the cops wouldn’t. Think about that the next time your city is talking about what to fund.” @rachelshukert Thoughts on the Republican death cult, gathered by @seastersjones and others. Things you can do: - Donate or fundraise for @everytown, @changetheref, @gaysagainstgunsny and any other common sense hun legislation group. - Donate, fundraise or canvass for candidates who are running against NRA-owned politicians - Contact your reps and ask what they are doing for gun control. If they are already good on that, ask them what they are doing about the rising threat of white supremacy and hate crimes. - Follow @changetheref, @everytown and similar groups for more action ideas. - Demonstrate. March. Get loud. No politician who has ever accepted NRA money should be allowed to live in peace while the top cause of child death in the US is guns. We’ve had 212 shootings so far this year - that’s almost 2 per day. The inaction is criminal, and it’s never too soon to “politicize” their absolute wanton negligence in protecting the public. #guncontrol #guns #guncontrolnow #gunculture #uvalde #protectchildrennotguns #schoolshootings #schoolsafety #fuckthecops #defundthepolice #teachers #schools #childrensrights #wecallbs #sandyhook #parkland #gunlaws #commonsensegunlaws #republicans #gopdeathcult #nra #america #thisisamerica #standupfightback https://www.instagram.com/p/CeBhcYRuojC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In a country where guns are very accessibly and fascists are grooming their children to ridicule and disrespect others (instead of fostering inclusivity), expect just another opportunity for bloodshed and violence.

Fucking every alphabet soup org, no exceptions, needs to be leveled like a not dead dog in front of the ATF. This administration is trying so desperately hard to out shit the Wilson admin that they’ve damn near done it. They have fucked the dog to death, while shitting the bed, and then decided to go out to lunch with no close on. What a fucking embarrassment of a government.
