The Desensitived to Active Shooters in America Thread

I concur. The perpetrator of the Dayton Ned Peppers Massacre might've supported Elizabeth Warren, but I think it was just incidental. I support Elizabeth Warren on the grounds that she built the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which returned several Gigadollars to the working class' pockets that had been ripped off by Wall Street corporations, in response to the '008 investment banking industry bailout. Regulating the financial sector and cracking down on corporations like Goldman-Sachs is her policy wheelhouse. But with all the string-trigger tempers on the extreme right, and the "both sides" argument from the 45th administration relayed by today's Third Way Centrists, I felt blamed for an equal amount of sorrow, death, and destruction as white nationalistic terrorists, simply because I supported the same politician who led the charge to crack down on Wall Street, along with other left-wing policies that are now considered radical far leftist extremism, such as stepping up efforts to protect racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities from bias crimes, bias-based evictions, bias-based job terminations, and other forms of severe systemic discrimination, which Antifa has suddenly been turned into a symbol of in recent years. Antifa's mild to moderate property crimes have been exaggerated and exploited by hard-right tabloids, and 3rd-way centrists and corporate status quo apologists have eaten that up for the most part.

To make matters worse, someone on social media blamed it all on the left for letting more people die in these gun massacres because the left generally doesn't think trying to beat a bad guy with a gun to the trigger is a good idea. I warned him that it's in my better interests to flee rather than take a mass shooter head on, because I was born with weaker practical judgment and problem solving skills. I told him I'm not about to presume that I'm a good shot with a gun because I've never even tried one out. He characterized me as a filthy, low-life coward who would deliberately let more victims die just to save my own *as. He portrayed me, and other '990s and 00-Agents' Decade kids as boys with weak principles who don't own up to any of their responsibilities and are always desperate to skip out on them. He even went so far as to suggest I grew up to be a horrible excuse for a man , with no code of honor or moral compass, and that my father failed miserably at bringing me up properly or instilling any values in me. Where do people like that come from?

Sad to say but this isn't new.
I remember during the W years that if you pointed out the Iraq war was a bad idea,you were akin to Osama Bin Laden.

And another one over the weekend in Odessa, Texas.

Like I said, this is just a thread for whenever we want to comment. It's not necessary to bring up every time there is a mass shooting but the theme of the thread is unfortunately we have accepted this as commonplace, and whenever we actually want to talk about it I feel we should post in this thread as a reminder about the inactions we as a society have taken.

If a mass shooting means at least 4 casualties, then my 2nd most wanted fugitive of '009 and one of my own Dirty Dozen, Emmanuel Polanco Vanderhorst, is one of these mass shooters, and his name would go on a '006 mass shooting list that covers the US territories. He of all the still-wanted AMW fugitives would deserve an In Pursuit profile more than anyone in this political climate.

In an unprecedented move, Walmart, I repeat, WALMART- has agreed to end all ammunition sales of bullets that can be used in assault-style rifles, will no longer sell handguns in Alaska (the only state left where they sold handguns) and will request customers not bring guns into their stores, even states with open carry laws.

Now this isn't perfect, Walmart will continue to sell long barrel deer rifles and shotguns and much of the ammunition for those guns. However, this is a start and better than what we previously had, considering Walmart has been a popular destination for gun nuts. (And once again before I offend anyone, I have no problem with those who have guns for home protection or other practical reasons, when I say gun nuts, I'm referring to extremists and people who sleep with a handgun under their pillow like its' their wife).

So I can't believe I'm saying this but kudos to Walmart. If only our politicians could follow suit.

Also, if you're a gun nut who thinks they need an AK-47 to combat a burglar, chances are you're not voting democrat anyway.

I wish we could LOCK UP extreme gun anarchist bribery liaisons like Wayne LaPierre and Larry Pratt, and his loyal gatekeeper Mitch McConnell for rigging the political system and obstructing the legislation that more than 7/10 of America KNOWS we need!
