I understand the sentiment but in no way is this a human problem, this is uniquely American. A ticket to Canada or Singapore or any other functional country will also escape worrying about being shot everywhere you go.
Call it what you want.
Another blood offering to the death god.
I think you just the same thing twice...
I shouldn't have laughed, but man the reality that this could happen is so dumb
Ultimately it's because there are people who actively want shootings in America to be out of control and try to enable that situation. Nowhere else has this problem to anywhere near this degree, so if there was any genuine interest in a solution, it seems like it's easy enough that America would have stumbled onto it.
Reminds me of veterans that would serve several tours in Iraq only to come back and be gunned down for whatever reason.

Unless it's Chris Kyle. Guy who creamed himself over murdering countless brown people then got shot by a fellow soldier? 👍
My level of empathy has some very strict limits.
I knew I was gonna trip on a Neil Gaiman one of these days.
To be fair, if this isn't the primordial god of the US pantheon, Neil really missed an opportunity here.
Video games? Lack of prayer in school? Doors? Obama? Satan? Mental illness?
Ofcourse it isnt guns.
Ofcourse it isnt guns.
Ironically you won't get shot in jail where you're surrounded by literal prisoners and criminals. Buuuuut maybe we should arm them too, just in case.
We're probably better off when the so called "good guys with guns" don't all try to be heroes. I'm just imagining them all running in, mistaking each other for the attacker, and adding to the carnage.
Everyday is a tragedy in this country. And it's not just these big mass shootings but it's the small shootings too that people rarely hear about. I recently got youtube recommending me local news stories from all over the county and holy shit. It's overwhelming. So much senseless death. Every single day.
Probably happens more than we think. I remember a story of someone stealing from a store somewhere nearby and some "good guy with a gun" pulling a concealed weapon and shooting an innocent bystander
No doubt.
Off the top of my head
There was a mall shooting where a cop killed a "good guy with a gun", a military vet, who was engaging the attacker.
There was security guard killed by police after stopping someone who tried to shoot up a club.
And there's countless examples of police shooting plain clothes cops.
I also remember their being a concealed carrier on the scene when Gabby Giffords was shot. He said he was a split second away from shooting the person who wrestled the gun away from the attacker. And part of what deterred him was fear that others would see him as a second attacker.

There was a shooting at a festival in Tulsa two days ago maybe three days ago. Multiple shot there too and I think one casualty
God damn
God damn
I think Massachusetts has if not the lowest, one of the lowest gun fatality rates in the country. All it tells me is we are bad at aiming because our local news is about people getting shot the first 7 minutes of every newscast.
Country is a joke.
Country is a joke.
Quite the headline:
5 people dead at Tulsa medical building, in the 233rd mass shooting of 2022
The shooting marks the 233rd mass shooting for the year in the U.S., per data collected by the Gun Violence Archive. The archive characterizes a mass shooting as four or more shot or killed, not including the shooter.

5 people dead at Tulsa medical building, in the 233rd mass shooting of 2022
"Four innocents and one shooter" are dead, says Jonathan Brooks of the Tulsa police department at a news conference on Wednesday.

The second 7 minutes is about a fire some where and after that the derailment of a new orange line train.
We'll tell you 19 is a lot sometime next week--after the next 19 mass shootings.
The poll in the recent gun owner thread was an eye-opener. Didn't realize there were so many here. I guess it's inevitable if you live in a place where you're surrounded by toothless hayseeds who all have guns, but I dunno, people in those states would be better able to say.
I'm one of those elitist monsters who lives on the coast and considers those areas to be fly-over states because who in the goddamn heckin' hell would ever want to stop by and visit, and why? To get shot by a redneck? Or is it hillbilly?
Damn video games!
I previously lived in Indiana for over thirty years in a moderately sized city, and around there those that lived in the more rural areas surrounding us were called rednecks. It's mainly slang for "country bumpkin" or farmers. Hillbilly? Not so much, and that seems to have a more negative connotation about intelligence and living in actual remote areas that have a lot of hills.
