Authorities in Texas say a man went next door with a rifle and began shooting his neighbors, killing an 8-year-old and four others inside a house near Houston. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said Saturday that the shooting took place just before midnight after the family asked the gunman to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep. Capers says authorities were still searching for 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza following the shooting in the town of Cleveland. Capers said there were 10 people in the house but that no one else was injured. He says the victims were between the ages of 8 and about 40 years old.
tbh i don't think there's a good or even decent solution here. those that can afford to may be able to move away somewhere but that's not possible for most of us.
any individual action we try to take to ease tensions with these people is dominated by the culture industry actively radicalizing them into fascism.
so like, we can get armed I guess so we at least aren't absolutely defenseless soft targets, but jesus a gun just means you can shoot back it doesn't stop you from getting shot at in the first place (not directly at least)
I really don't know what the solution is. You have a country of armed fascists who're losing their minds daily over their quality of life slipping away.
Having a gun can prevent some being shot at if it's known you have it. These types of killings happen because the person with the gun knows the other person is unarmed.
Oh so it's the nuclear deterrent.
certainly not ideal but it does have precedence for being effective, both wrt nukes and guns
