Take the total $ from gun sales in the US and divide by the number of gun deaths in the US to determine the value of human life to the pro-gun lobby.

roookii.bsky.social•68 days ago

If people were required to have training in the proper use of a gun, maybe 'gun shot' wouldn't be the number one killer of children.

When I started teaching in Missouri, students could have hunting rifles in their cars because they parked across the dirt lane from the school. That was the Fall of 1998. Columbine was April of 99. Nothing changed.

What the f*ck is wrong with them? Toddlers have enough to do just walking talking & knowing when to go potty! Do the actual people of MO agree with this or are they unaware? OMFG

dempski56.bsky.social•69 days ago

Shouldn't state reps have to take some test before being allowed pass laws. Even the US army won't take anyone with a I Q below 85.

What the actual ef Missouri? You trust that neighbor kid that's been pelting your car with pebbles to carry around an AR-15?

blueskyredhawk.bsky.social•69 days ago

No pebbles... not quite walking yet

airkooled.bsky.social•69 days ago

I would invite you to visit but I’m too embarrassed. It’s the upside down. We have a gun show every 2 weeks. You would not believe how tactical and equipped a % of our citizens are. Not the majority but there are too many guns.

Too many damn guns in this country. I cannot imagine living in a place where people openly carry to intimidate others.

I thought they were pro-life. Only care that you are born. After that, you get to die from guns, starvation, disease, anti-science bullshit….. and the list goes on. They really are the party of stupid.

the GOP are in fact pro abortion.
but they prefer a 10-15 year waiting period.

extralime.bsky.social•68 days ago

Feel sad for the parents who live in manufactured fear and have let guns be part of their identity that they feel entitled to pass to their children.

southernwoman.bsky.social•69 days ago

That is just crazy.

hellmark.org•69 days ago

The messed up thing is that they will say this is related to hunting, but things can be made so hunting can happen without minors carrying guns elsewhere.

dreamdancer63.bsky.social•69 days ago

There was a time I concidered moving to MO. That thought ended in a crash and burn when the repubs took over completely. I'll just stay in my, expensive to live in, blue state where I and my family have more choices, i.e. freedoms.

stonewolfpc.bsky.social•69 days ago

Missouri is ass backward in so many ways. And what's stupid is there is so much rural living that people fall so quickly between the cracks, yet they blame them as if being alive were the crime they committed. Yeah, I lived there from 95 to 2015. Never again.

steveburke2000.bsky.social•69 days ago

The easier it is to access guns, the higher the per capita rate of homicides an area will have. That means when children have access to guns and the psychologically distraught have access, the rate goes higher. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/abundant-life-school-shooting-madison-live-updates-rcna184404 /1

steveburke2000.bsky.social•69 days ago

I highly doubt private voucher schools have the same level of entrance, exit and school room security that public schools mandate. This why the school shooters seem to be transferring their ire to private schools. /2

steveburke2000.bsky.social•69 days ago

This morning I calculated Baltimore's per capita homicide rate for 2024 which is 30. We've finally been surpassed by Little Rock Arkansas whose 2024 per capita homicide rate sits at 34.5. Congrats Little Rock, enjoy your stay at the top of the list. /end

Off the 50 States 37. Allow girls as young 15 years old to marry with 1 parents consent to a man over 21. If the bride should toast the Union she would be Arrested. Drinking alcohol is prohibited to anyone under 21.
And somehow child brides in 3rd world is shocking to Americans.

irishrock.bsky.social•69 days ago

Until the US comes together and we peacefully protest in the streets to get the things we want, nothing changes. The law makers owned by the NRA need an inordinate amount of pressure. It may not work, but we must try. How many dead kids are enough for Republicans?

The human brain is not considered fully developed until around the age of 25. Children should have zero gun rights.

Another school shooting. Children will not be home tonight because they are dead. They won't be sitting at the dinner table with their parents and talking about what happened at school today. They will not grow and have wonderful lives! It's not rocket science, get rid of the guns!

rudedawg.bsky.social•69 days ago

Today was the last day of school before the Christmas break. Three of them won't being going home tonight. Nine others will be scarred for life.

msmads.bsky.social•68 days ago

It's likely that everyone who was there will be scarred.

rudedawg.bsky.social•68 days ago

Oh for sure, countless people will suffer from this. All the first responders, parents, friends, teachers and all their neighbors. The entire city. If it doesn't bother you, you’re dead inside.

feistycat.bsky.social•69 days ago

Damn 😠

apfeljaxx.bsky.social•68 days ago

If a 5 year old shoots someone, will that child face a trial? The parents shouldn't bc they'd be violating the child's 2nd amndt rights by denying the gun. A 5 year old brain can't comprehend the effect of their actions, yet..
Do I have this right? Kids can kill with immunity?
