This system doesn't actually work. Madison spent $400K (1% state sales tax) on the system. Utica, New York spent $4 Million in state funding on the same system. Monty that SHOULD HAVE funded #teachers salaries, #schoolsupplies, building maintenance - #education stuff!!! But, no. #Gunrights. #MassShootings and the highly lucrative industry being built around that guaranteed annual death toll are all more important than children's live AND education.

#Backtoschool is so STRESSFUL! It's just a doomscrolling adventure focused on the annual youth lottery - will my family members live or die this year? And that's in addition to cyberbullying, regular bullying, a significant recent increased old school violence against anyone female or perceived to be LGBTQ or any outsider.

I guess I need to go scream into my pillow again.

#MassShootings in the U.S. are absolutely OUT OF CONTROL....how can a country which proclaims freedom ALLOW this to continue? It's disgraceful. And cowardly. And exceedingly sad.

So far this year there have been #472 #MassShootings in the United States....it's Aug 27. 😡

#GunViolence is an #Epidemic

@stux actually no.

#eurole has even more illegal guns per capita thx to two world wars, the cold war, balkan wars and #EUgunban.

What is different in #Europe - including #Switzerland where people can still legally buy #MachineGuns new - is that we don't reward said acts of #StochasticTerrorism with screentime.

Guns ain't the problem but people.

Otherwise #Canada, #Serbia, #Slovenia and #Germany would've equal amouns of #MassShootings.

The vote was 5 to 4, w/ #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts & Justice #AmyConeyBarrett joining the court’s 3 liberal members — Justices Sonia #Sotomayor, Elena #Kagan & #KetanjiBrownJackson — to form a majority.

Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel #Alito, Neil #Gorsuch & Brett #Kavanaugh noted #dissents. Like the justices in the majority, they did not explain their reasoning.

Nine mass shootings over the weekend
Left US cities quite beaten
Their people shifted and shaken
By the terror that was taken
And the lives that were so heavily leant

Don’t get too comfortable. It’s about time for yet another horrific mass shooting that could have been prevented were it not for the NRA and its purchased congressional Republican tools.

Dennis Hernandez is the brother of former #NFL star #AaronHernandez, who was convicted of 1st degree murder and committed suicide in prison. His brain 🧠 showed signs of #CTE.

EVERYTHING Republicans do is "political theater".

Just look at FL/DeSantis. They *invent* "moral" crisis' (while ignoring REAL ones like #MassShootings), in order to pander to their hateful, angry, racist Evangelical base. #Woke

With a little over six months still to go in the year, the number of #MassShootings is up 9% from 365 mass shootings that occurred as of this time in 2022 -- a year in which a total of 647 mass shootings unfolded, according to the #GunViolenceArchive.

#Guns #BanAssaultWeapons

At least 81 people have been killed in 65 mass shootings in July alone.

BOOKMARK THIS:

#Inflation at it's lowest point since T**** left office. Unemployment at a 60 year low. Record job growth.

So what is on top of #RedState's ToDo list? Track women who leave the state to have an abortion & demand their confidential medical records (which they already do to #Trans residents.)

Because THAT is the greatest concern of #GOP voters (not #MassShootings, #ClimateChange or #DomesticTerrorism.) https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/republican-attorneys-general-demand-access-to-out-of-state-abortion-medical-records-188688453806

US sets a grim milestone with new record for the deadliest six months of mass killings

>NEW YORK (AP) — Slain at the hands of strangers or gunned down by loved ones. Massacred in small towns, in big cities, inside their own homes or outside in broad daylight. This year's unrelenting bloodshed across the U.S. https://www.moosejawtoday.com/politics/us-sets-a-grim-milestone-with-new-record-for-the-deadliest-six-months-of-mass-killings-7275806 #masskillings #massshootings #gunviolence #US

Something I haven't seen a TV station do before: list, one by one, the injuries of every victim of a mass shooting (in this case, the nine people wounded in a July 9 attack in Ohio).

Usually the media generalize with something like: "several people sustained minor injuries." Maybe a new approach will help viewers see victims as real people, not statistics, as I note @medium:

And those that missed out really went for it on the 5th July
#MassShooting #MassShootings #GunViolence #NRA

As 4th of July dangers go, in my lifetime we’ve progressed from worrying about losing fingers from firecrackers to celebratory stray bullets and on to rampant public mass shootings. Good job, USA! #GunViolence #4thofJuly #MassShootings
