I'm not unsympathetic to the idea of gun control, but I bet we're not even gonna do that, just speeches about how someone needs to do something about this
I'd be all for gun control if it was paired with free mental health care and massive police defunding and reform. But as is it would just be more reasons for cops to go shoot black people.
Yeah. Even the suggested bare-bones "common sense regulation" and background checks would be used as a cudgel against anyone deemed politically suspect by the state (they're already equating "far left/right authoritarian extremism" with actual mental health conditions). That's if the political apparatus understands there's more to the problem aside from "we need to throw more money to our loyal pigs".
Wow, I had to check to make sure this was a different shooting than the Phoenix one, just less than 24 hours beforehand

No form of gun control in this country would ever be done in a way that would address this problem it just gives more power to the cops.
You're not wrong :/
I guess we'll just be clapping every day now, no need to update the "days since last shooting" sign :amerikkka-clap:
