Basically, the courts have ruled that the 2nd amendment is a non sequitur.

Several dead at a hospital here in Tulsa. This hits close to home. I work with people at that hospital and my son sees a pulmonologist in that building.

I believe that is mass shooting #269 in the U.S. in 2022.

And it's only June 1.

308 people dead.
1,114 people injured.

I read on Twitter that the U.S. averages a little over 10 mass shootings per week, so this is about par for the course. Two places you expect to be absolutely safe are schools and hospitals; not so.

Well I think he picked the only NRA meeting where they didnt allow firearms into the actual event itself.

So credit to him on picking his spots.

Well I learned in Team America, freedom isn’t free, it costs folks like you and me.

The More or Less podcast talked about gun deaths in the US:

Among Americans 20 and under, deaths caused by guns is #1; car accidents #2; drug overdoses #3

A high school and junior high school in Leduc are closed today because of a social media gun threat. All of the crazy people aren’t in the U.S.
