so glad covid is over and things are getting back to normal. I was so lost not hearing, on a weekly basis, about a group of minorities or little kids getting scholastically lit up

9 years ain't a bad run. my dad relapsed into alcoholism after 9 years and we were all like "well, at least he made it pretty far." america is addicted to dead kids, and it may be that all we can aim for is harm reduction. oh, we're not doing that either? that's fine

Everyone says Sandy Hook is when they gave up hope on gun reform but for me it was the Vegas shooting. If republicans can brush off the wholesale slaughter of white country constituents then they absolutely don't give a poo poo.

a new guy moved here from america a couple weeks ago and started at my work. he told me his primary motivation for moving away was he was sick of worrying about if his daughters school was gonna get shot up again

Sandy Hook would have been the turning point for gun reform in literally every other country in the world. Actual children getting murdered tends to evoke strong reactions, but in America the reaction was to call it a hoax lol

as an american I promise you the biden administration will crack down on the scariest sounding guns: ghost guns. as a result, because fewer would-be shooter's hand drilled receivers and plastic glock parts blow up in their face, there will be a small increase in both the number of shootings and their deadliness

Yeah, sadly there are mass shootings literally every day but in many places it’s so routine that it’s just ignored at this point. It only makes the news if it’s an “unexpected” mass shooting.

I learned that you can survive a mass shooting by using console commands, but that it disables achievements.

Well if the death penalty has taught me anything it's that it can deter you from doing these heinous crimes because you're afraid of death. In fact, it can even deter you if you're innocent!
