Thanks goodness he had a gun to protect his rights.
I’m grateful to see the word “wounded”. What a country, huh?
This is simply going to continue until we have a congress that will pass guns laws instead of catering to the wishes of the NRA and other gun lobbyists. Disgusting at every level.
Given that they were air-lifted, we could see the number of deaths rise. Innocent children, at school!
From the linked KCRA story:
“The crazy thing is that the neighbor has been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines,” [the shooter’s neighbor Brian] Flint said. “We made it aware that this guy has been crazy, and he’s been threatening us and everything. I just feel like there maybe should have been more effort put into stopping things like this.”
Flint’s roommate was among those killed.
Reading that headline…I felt like someone just punched me in the gut…again.
I don’t understand the impulse to hurt innocents…kids…animals. Not that I really understand killing adults…but children that you don’t even know.
I am without words.
Ohhh. Crap…just crap.
But…by god…his second amendment rights weren’t one of the victims. So there’s that.
Coming to a headline near you…
“Thoughts-And-Prayers Industry Reports Record Orders in 4th Quarter of 2017”
I don’t want to "like’ this…but I agree with your assessment.
This is one of those stories where the comment section requires something other than like or dislike.
Red Bluff is the buckle on the Kalifornia Krazy Belt.
I heard Thoughts and Prayers, LLC is about to launch an IPO.
And I was having a pretty good day. And our elected representatives will do nothing. And Wayne LaPierre will tell us the children should have been armed. And the gun sellers will do a land office business.
Thoughts & prayers; thoughts & prayers.
Also, likely a white guy since Trump hasn’t said anything about it yet.
Where was the good second-grader with a gun?
Oh, the “well regulated militia” has struck again? I completely forgot it was a Tuesday.
let’s call it like it is, for the NRA these mass shooting events are desired, if they weren’t then the NRA would do something about it, other than promoting a higher level of gun ownership or bump stock sales that is, there is never a proposed solution from the NRA that does not involve more guns, and the more destructive the firearm, the greater the level of effort put in by the NRA to promote it;
I was wondering what the level of foreign (i.e. russian) membership in the NRA is, would seem to be another opportune target for the russian spies (and bots?) to participate in, promote discord and bloodshed on american streets (and elementary campuses) like they did with the election
the NRA used to be a hunter’s safety org when I was growing up, now it’s a highly effective lobbying arm of the gun industry (and who else?)
Aren’t they the makers of the Thoughts-N-Prayers app?
I understand they also designed a macro that’s wildly popular with Rethugliklans press secretaries coast to coast.
here’s a question, how much money has the NRA and Wayne taken from russians? and I am not trying to be hyperbolic, I think it is a question worth asking at this point, the russians appear to have infiltrated mass amounts of american society to peddle influence, the NRA would be a prime target to sow discord in this country (and to kill american citizens)
late edit: this event happened basically in my backyard, I was in this area about three weeks ago. I contacted my Rep today to ask him this very question. I think my Reps and Senators get tired of hearing from me.
As I recall, the NRA has some affiliation with Russia now as well. Will we find out Russia is stoking the NRA banshees to rip America up, exit wound by exit wound? Sure looks like it to me.
