Because its one if the few places you can be nearly 100% certain no one will fire back. Shoot up a restaurant, mall, church, park, etc you will receive return fire from lawful carriers almost immediatly, especially in Texas.
There are more guns in the US than people (some estimates have it at nearly 2 to 1). You cant stop people from getting them any more than the war on drugs stopped people from buying weed.
What really needs to happen is solving the root issue of violence. Poverty and a lack of access to healthcare (which includes mental healthcare).
its true, making something illegal and actually enforcing it has never resulted in less of that thing anywhere ever
these guns are not magically appearing in the hands of killers and these kids are not buying their guns through their extensive maffia connections
theyre being mass produced legally, imported legally, advertised legally, sold legally and carried legally at a scale that would be entirely impossible to match illegally
i honestly have no idea how folks can genuinely believe that letting mossberg and glock set up multimillion dollar factories and buy ads online, on tv or in the paper has 0 effect on the amount of guns in the USA, or that guns being a totally legal and normal thing for regular, law abiding dads to buy and own without having to contact their friendly neighborhood gang representative has no effect on the amount of kids getting their hands on them
it’s so entirely ridiculous of a view to have that you have to be lying
She did it knowing that her family would be lambasted by the public as well. Maybe dont try to shame them or group them together–she did the right thing. The next mom might not if everyone dogpiles onto this one.
To be clear, it wasn’t just an idle threat. His mother overheard him trying to acquire a rifle illegally, and turned him in.
It was Cruz’s mother who called the police and reported threats that her son had made, Officer Nick Soliz of the San Antonio Police Department tells NPR.
[…]
The mother “overheard a phone conversation the suspect made this morning in which the suspect attempted to acquire an AR-15 through an illegal private sale” according to the arrest warrant. When confronted by police, Cruz denied making any threats, the warrant states.
How is it that the people being harassed still vote for the people harassing them? It’s bizarre. Friend of mine’s grandmother was deported and he still votes R.
I honestly didn’t realize it was the same person. Also, you’re acting like having different opinions is a bad thing, and it isn’t. And to be clear to the audience, “racism” does not refer to discrimation based on race. It just means I disagree with gulible.
It’s pretty fucking racist to call a land with millions of indigenous people on it that white people stole from them “undeveloped land.” And that was the meme you put up.
I love how none of you actually answered thevquestion, and still acted like im evil for not liking illegals. Remember when Europe colonized America and genocided the locals, lets not have that happen again.
There is a connection between the two boys that has led them to a place where this seems to be acceptable behavior. It’s something they share but is also fairly unique since most families aren’t producing multiple potential or actual school shooters.
I am interested to see what underlying causes are identified, if any.
It’s almost always bullying or abuse at home, but no one ever admits it. These people were mentally and/or physically tortured by other people. They want revenge or to inflict a fate worse than they were given. But we keep acting like bullying still isn’t an issue and that these people were just messed up naturally.
My bet is on dysfunctional family - maybe child sa, maybe mental illness or other trauma/combination of traumas. Our society is unstable (Ie: pandemic) and they feel out of control, maybe abandoned, and this is the only way they feel powerful.
