    Default “13 injured in downtown Austin shooting early Saturday”

    “Up to 13 people were shot early Saturday in downtown Austin in a chaotic scene that left Austin police officers taking some of the wounded in police cars to the hospital.”

    So we got a grocery shoot up killing a one year old in the Gunshine State Thursday, and now thirteen shoot in a mass shooting in Texas last night, can wait to see what today brings, we were lucky the schools were closed the last year and half

    Nah, we don’t have a gun problem in America, mass shootings as American as apple pie, and the right’s solution, we need more people with more guns

    we do not have too many guns, we do not have enough thoughts and prayers.....especially thoughts, when it comes to NRA goons and the repubs in their back pocket.

    The NRA isn't shooting anyone.

    Where were the armed people to stop it?
    Leftists are predicting mass shootings like they know more than they're letting on.

    Like there's a bunch of programmed people ready to go.

    Well, directly no, but the position they fight for and policies they attempt to enforce make it a whole lot easier for others to shoot someone

    Ah, yeah there are, any distraught individual, the guy made at his wife, the disgruntled employee, kid who’s girlfriend ditched him, the guy who couldn’t get a girl, those suffering from a mental hardship, gangbangers, racist fueled by hate, etc., etc., etc., and easy access to a gun makes it simple for them to act out their anxieties

    Well, Baba Ruth couldn’t have hit all those home runs without a bat, easy access to guns for those “crazy and programmed people” is the problem

    The NRA is not against background checks . They are for legal gun ownership.

    So those crazy people broke the law to buy a gun just like Hunter Biden did. And more laws will stop them right?

    try to think. most people who have a gun will never shoot anyone. bad or good. but guns make killing too easy, too impersonal, and the more guns in society, the more likely one will be used in a temporary fit of anger or rage, not as part of a robbery or a crime, and usually to shoot someone they know, by a large percentage. how many people, even if enraged or jealous or whatever, would want to use a knife to kill someone they know, if no guns were around? or beat them to death? or strangle them? try to think. in societies with less guns, there are far less gun homicides and injuries...
