Texas elementary school shooting…

What makes people want to focus on schools in particular ?

That part is super wild to me.

It seems an odd target in all these instances
 
The 'merican way is to spend the first 18 years falling behind the rest of the world. The next four (for those who go to college) catching up. And anything beyond that pulling ahead. Makes for a highly stratified society in terms of skills, knowledge, productivity and income.

you just answered why right wingers adore people like Trump and Elon.

They think Trump and Elon are intellectual individuals who "stick it to the establishment" and represent the small guy. They have money to do what your average joe can't. So they use it as an example to piggyback on them.

"AMERICA IS THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, SO THAT MEANS OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS INHERENTLY BETTER THAN OTHER COUNTRIES".

I've never seen people piggyback and bandwagon on rich millionaires/billionaires that could care less about them, than right wing adoration for Trump, Elon, Rogan, etc.
 
Called that one

Someone get this man a chop country medal!!!!

He called it everyone!!!!

He rightfully predicted that I think a possible sensible solution is seeing how others stop things could be a way to stop things

Amazing work from the absolute worst person that posts on this message board
 
What's most sad is the excitement liberals get when there is a new shooting they can politicize. Reminds me of when they were actively cheering on red state COVID deaths a couple years ago

We're totally excited to see mass shootings happen.

Just like we organize abortion parties to celebrate when our friends have abortions.


You got us.

Do you ever get embarrassed how much you think about Donald Trump?

When I go to those parties I only drink Bordeaux from the 1982 or 1990 vintages. Sometimes port from 1992.

I remember when we were told liberals worshipped Obama. He's been out of office for 6 years now.

He's hardly ever mentioned except for his random public appearances every few months if that. Obama didn't establish a brand that goes outside the Democratic Party.

Trump has tried his damndest to create his own brand that operates within the Republican Party and simultaneously tries to be outside the party.

One has retired and mostly moved on after politics. The other still desperately clings to the camera and tries to keep his face in the spotlight.



When I drive by political signs on the road that say "ENDORSED BY DONALD TRUMP" for state level government positions that have zero connection to Trump, am I the one still thinking about Trump or is it your party hasn't let go of him yet? I drove by and saw a campaign sign for someone running for GA Secretary of State that had big writing under their name "TRUMP ENDORSED".

I've never seen any politician post-Obama or even during Obama's presidency that had signs that said "ENDORSED BY OBAMA", despite Obama having as high of a popular rating in his own party as Trump did.


Trumpism is a cult.
 
This idea that “we never do anything” is so disingenuous.

In the past 10 years, New York passed a gun manufacturer liability law, a red flag law, the SAFE act - all loaded with provisions that gun control activists have clamored for for years. None of which prevented a white supremacist nutjob from shooting 13 people in Buffalo this month, using legally obtained weapons.

And yet there is a strong positive correlation (using state data) between gun ownership rates and number of deaths from firearms. Correlation doesn't equate causation, but I strongly suspect measures that reduce the number of guns in circulation work to reduce gun deaths.

If having more guns made places and people more safe

This country wouldn’t have any crime
 
I know we are not supposed to care about gun violence in Chicago, but if strict gun laws were effective you'd think there wouldnt be nearly 250 killed in Chicago ytd

You know I'm sick of your weird hill you're dying on so let's address this right now.

Jackson MS
Gary IN
St. Louis
New Orleans

etc.

Hmm, Chicago avoided the top 10? In murder rate and Gun Murder Rate, wonder why. Oh yeah because Chicago is the 3rd most populated city in America. So there will certainly be more individual events.

But we know you've never cared about facts. You just spew whatever talking points failed comedians tell you to spew.
 
All right, I'll spill the beans.

Based on the wiki data we had 1.1 mass shootings per year at schools in the 1990s. The good old days before rap music, social media, video games, smart phones, chaos on the southern border and favorable portrayal of trans people corrupted our yute.

Since then we have had 16 in 22 years (hope someone will double check my work).

Don't have to check to know you wrong... dr dre, snoop, ice cube, 2pac, and easy e all around in the 90s, so beat rappers ever started in the 90s
