BeaTlesFan77 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It’s getting very frustrating to hear about these mass shootings that occur on an average of once a week now! Today there was another one in the state of Texas. As of now there were 18 children and 3 adults killed. There was only one suspect and they were killed as well. 18 children who will never get to experience all life has to offer. 18 families who will never get to see their children grow up. What the heck is going on here with these frequent occurrences?! 1 1 Link to comment
greendots Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I just heard about the shooting in Texas. Unbelievable. Perhaps it's time to establish stricter gun policies. 1 Link to comment
1a1a Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Australian here (where you have to jump through many hoops to own a gun and not many people do) can confirm, when gun access is restricted, incidences of mass shooting go waaaaaaaay down. 1 Link to comment
boltnrun Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 We can't talk politics here. But let's just say certain individuals have a monetary interest in making sure all Americans have access to as many firearms and as many types of firearms as they want at any and all times, no matter who they are or what they've done in the past or what their medical history is. It must be terrifying to be the parent of a school age child. 3 Link to comment

melancholy123 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 As a Canadian I really don't get the need to have a gun. 2 Link to comment

Not a high powered assault firearm. Or a stockpile of weapons. My heart grieves for those poor, poor babies and their devastated parents. 3 Link to comment

Wiseman2 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It's so sad this keeps happening. However the US has odd gun laws that vary by state. The US also has abysmal mental healthcare coverage. It's the perfect storm.😞 1 Link to comment

boltnrun Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Seeing the photos of the beautiful, innocent babies who were senselessly murdered as a direct result of people putting money and power above the lives of our children is devastating and heartbreaking. Those poor babies. Those poor parents. 1 1 Link to comment
