“This was not just a random act of someone showing up and randomly shooting citizens of Baton Rouge,” said Lt. Bryan Ballard, commander of BRPD’s Homicide Division, during a press conference Sunday.

I think this is just a really dumb way of saying it's not a mass shooting.

Witnesses at Dior Bar & Lounge said a fight broke out between two groups of customers, and multiple people pulled out guns and started shooting.

An Eventbrite listing online indicates the club was hosting a “back to school party” for Southern University and A&M College and Louisiana State University students at the time of the shooting.

Maybe they’re saying it’s not a mass shooting because multiple people pulled out their guns so no one shot more than 2 people

the AR-15 is so light recoiling and easy to keep on target that great-grandpop would easily get off the entire mag until arthritis caused him to fumble the reload. Have It Your Way!

After a bunch of arguments with pro gun people.

"It a health issues."
- Turmp and republicans had the house, senate, and executive office in 2016-2017 and did nothing. It's not a health issue any more.

"The world is a dangerous place"
- No gun owner walks around wearing body armor 24/7, they just have a gun. If the world was as shooting crazy as they say they would be wearing body armor like how kids had bullet proof backpacks.

Huh. Houston recently had a guy in a Punisher shirt with a AR-15 march up to a mall's dance competition and get tackled by a security guard before he could start shooting. He was charged with a misdemeanor since he didn't actually shoot anyone. Wonder if he will make a second attempt soon.

We know one party (the Republicans) doesn't want to do anything about mass shootings. They are very open about it. Well unless you count how they want more god and churches and poo poo.

Democrats openly want to introduce more gun controls. The president has said on numerous occasions that no one needs an AR-15.

So at least public statement wise, there is in fact one party that wants to do something. Of course words are cheap, but without a full majority in Congress what can they even do? They will never get republicans to come around on the issue. And how do Democrats benefit from gun violence? It's not like the NRA and the gun companies are funneling them money.

Democrats pretend to want gun control so they can later Compromise by offering more money to the police, the domestic paramilitary wing of capital that defends the status quo, from which Democrat leaders profit. Hope this helps OP.

No one wants to go up against the frothing mad right-wing gun nuts because they're incredibly energized and engaged on the topic.

I'm broadly against gun control too because I know god drat well that the cops will use it as an excuse to brutalize black and latino communities and that the county sheriffs out in Chudlandia won't do poo poo.

I'm not familiar with Half Moon Bay. Are Lunar New Year celebrations still going on?
