Even just the ones you hear about is crazy, but when you start seeing it in list format you realize how out of control it really is.
4 of these events on May 5th and 3 of them were in Mississippi?!? Jesus Christ.

I mean, comparing a gun to a car is completely idotic, but I'm sure you knew that and are just being a troll. Or a moron. Or a moronic troll.

First they'll make us register our cars.

Then we'll need licences to use them.

Then insurance to drive them.

Then, and look this up, any time a government makes you register your car they take the cars as they then know where all the cars are.

Then we're walking everywhere!

Head over to r/Conservative for a big yikes.

It's all a bunch of hooting and hollering about right to defend yourself, and the 2A.

Then they talk about Democrats that universally "adore" abortion, so they have NO RIGHT to comment on children being massacred by firearm because they have proven they actually LOVE murdering babies.

And that's where the conversation ends. Can't have an adult discussion about guns because aBoRtIoN.

"During a Monday morning news conference, police accused George Alvarez of killing eight people and injuring 10 others about 8.30am Sunday in Brownsville. Police added that Alvarez is a Brownsville resident and has an “extensive” prior criminal record, including allegations of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and driving while intoxicated."

Rest in peace to the family.

This one is strange. A white supremacist named Mauricio Garcia with brown skin? The people this guy just threw his life (and the lives of the innocent victims) away for. are likely not sharing any kind of reciprocal feelings:

Is it just me, or does the right ear in the bottom picture look really poorly photoshopped?

This is what happens with you let lobbyists take over the government. Now you can't pass legislation that most people would agree with because said lobbyists control the politicians.

The same can be true for most things in the US.

Nothing was ever going to change in that deplorable kyithole 5th world country when they did NOTHING after Sandy Hook.

Have there been any lawsuits against the NRA? Victims groups should litigate them out of existence.

Like this article says, this guy seems to have a 'mishmash of a lot of different ideologies'. What a weird read

Looks like I spoke too soon. The killer had singled out Asians with racial slurs on social media before.

Just a depressing state of how things are in North America. Similar to the "I like my pangolins medium rare" joke somewhere else on this forum earlier. Hurtful remarks that just add to the #### people go through for being Asian.

Neo-nazi, incel, and pro-Russian. Almost like he's just latching onto anything that encourages mass shooting. The swastika tattoo for a latin person also odd. The article talks about mental illness. Sounds like he might have been discharged from the military for mental health issues... But had no trouble buying an AR-15.
