Active shooter situation at Florida high school, at least 20 injured so far

[united]

Time for some more useless fucking thoughts and prayers.

[IIamaKing]

So:

1. Gun control is off topic
2. Sending thoughts and prayers is pointless
3. Seeing how high the death count goes is disgusting

What is the point of this thread again ?

To gloat about US 'freedom' or something ?

To discuss the details of the event?

[Themius]

so the right and nra nuts will always say "look at all the issues in those blue states despite their gun laws they need more guns!" neglecting the fact much of the violence stems from there being no national regime so guns can easily be brought across borders.

Then we look at stuff like this... random mass shootings, the overwhelming majority of them happen in red states with lax gun laws, states that have better gun control laws hardly deal with mass shooting events.

QUESTION: how many kids have to die before republicans decide that lives mean more than their guns?

To discuss the details of the event?

See Number 3 ....

It's called freedom. The freedom to get shot at a school, theater, night club, coffee shop, bus stop, any place really. As Zoidberg once said, freedom, freedom, freedom, oy.

If 30 disintegrated kids didn't do it... then nothing will.

[BuckSparkles]

it will be really interesting to see how long it takes dumb asses to understand demerit of nearly no gun control.
And another example capitalism is not good as other promotes it to be because people doesn't have power and few people run the country.

You put in strict gun control and this will still happen since murderers don't really care about your silly laws. Not to mention there are endless guns in the USA.

All gun control will do is make people like you feel better while disarming the law-abiding citizens. The only winners are criminals and the government.

What's your ideal situation?? That you put in these strict laws and suddenly the criminals go "oh okay I won't use guns."

Want gun control in a picture? Here it is. Sorry for posting a meme but you folks don't get it.

To discuss the current story in it's details.

it will take one billionaire's kid to be shot dead before anything happens.

[andy123456]

How exactly will it do that? Even if the additional gun control laws that are asked for were in place they wouldn't have prevented shootings like these. A lot of these shooters would have been able to get those weapons legally with or without the proposed gun control laws.

do people in usa really need to carry guns with them , there are so many countries that doing good with strict gun control. and these countries does not have mass shooting like usa

[Crispin]

Ah, incoming "This is not the time to talk about gun control", I'm glad that they do talk about Airline safety whenever a crash happens, and don't put on the same "not the time" attitude.

[Heladys]

The only logical conclusion is that you all enjoy your mass shootings and want more.

when he said that there were no deaths reported.

[Travis B]

It's too soon to talk about how to prevent tragedies like this. The most helpful thing you can do is to send your thoughts and prayers.

Unless of course the shooter turns out to be a brown guy, then the deplorables will come out of the woodwork offering ideas on how to stop these kinds of things from happening.

Probably something a little closer to them.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised at how fast gun nuts and the GOP change their mind when it affects their family. If by some misfortune the family if a GOP senator gets killed by a legally purchased firearm, expect legislation in the floor the next day. It just hasn't hit close to home yet.

To discuss the current story in it's details.

See number 3.

The only part of this story that is different to previous episodes of the comedy - the final death tally.

Is there an app I can download that shows a live death count ?

PS: I'm using the word comedy on purpose, because tragedy by definition has a bad ending, comedy is different to tragedy in that it has a happy ending. That is - it is me being positive.

[chazus]

so terrible, young lives wiped out in an instant.

Nobody's lives have been wiped out (so far)

News Report from Daily Mail says 3 dead, 50 injured.
Yeah, it's Daily Mail...I know.

Daily Mail reports "many dead", and yet no other place indicates that. Not 3, unless they have multiple articles about the same thing. It's daily mail.

[Huehuecoyotl]

"Shooter in custody".

Ah, so it was a white kid that did it then.
