Very sad! More dead children & they weren’t aborted but shot! It’s a shame that the magats don’t have the same revulsion over this as they do allowing women to have rights over their bodies. They care more about their guns than their families.

The vast Majority of other Countries have managed to Stop these mass shootings -
By Baning Guns.
Nice town. And they have their incidents (was there for part of the riots). Also I first read The Onion speaking of n Madison at a laundry mat. An ad that said "more condoms than you can shake a stick at!" Given that city I thought it was a real local paper at first.
I am very pissed off about this specific thing and add in a town I love and have family currently living in btw. I'm just not going to open up online about it because I know I what I have to say is going to awful and am already sure everyone else, shy the MSM, is just as upset about it.
What they REALLY mean is there's no way to stop this as long as RETHUGS have ANY SAY in the matter because they'll NEVER CHANGE the HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING people that they are! They "claim" to be Pro-life but they're NOT! Their pro-life "claim" is all about CONTROLLING women, NOT saving lives!
Yes! If you open the NYT app, if you first scroll all the way to the right in the top bar (past Today, ..., Opinion) to Sections, then scroll down all the way down (past Arts, ..., Well) to World, you will find news about other countries!
Understandable you missed it though, since it is so hidden.
The signage says 'Abundant Life' Yet the headlines talk about death. This is at a place where guns are sacred and wanted and kept and never to be controlled.
There IS a way! If course there is! Why is America the ONLY country to have this happen repeatedly when it's NOT the only country that has crime, drugs, and mental health issues. Every country has those, but NONE have mass shootings on a daily basis. It's the GUNS and only the guns AND lax gun laws
Sad but true. No longer the greatest country on earth for its citizens' welfare, safety, and lifestyle. When Americans live in fear for their lives, for their children, for their degraded way of life because of political corruption... that's no longer the "land of the free, home of the brave".
Dang, what happened to The Onion? That's not funny at all. They used to be funny. They know full well that gun violence is a bigger problem in some other countries, and that there truly is nothing we can do to completely stop it. Reality is reality: murderers don't follow gun control laws.
"Step right up ladies and gentlemen, here on the steps of the Supreme Court of United States of America, we got firearms AND guns for sale, now at rock-bottom prices!" #Dumfukracy
All that is fine but the USA needs to the massively restrict access and production of guns first. It’s literally where all the guns in Mexico and now Haiti is coming from. This country is drowning in them and it’s destroying the world.
We can do both. Getting rid of guns in this country will be damn near impossible. I'm not saying we shouldn't try, but it will take decades. In the meantime we can also try to reduce the chance that people will want to use them in the first place with UBIs, Universal healthcare, etc
As an aside, while I think this is a good goal, in the meantime, left-leaning people, please buy guns. If shit really hits the fan, I don't want the only people who are armed to be chuds
Chris Kennedy (brother of the asshole) was running for IL governor the year that Pritzker first got elected. There was a panel of all the candidates, GOP and Dem. This MAGA nut woman went on about how it's not about guns, it's about there not being FATHERS in the homes. 1/2
Kennedy stood up and said "I grew up in a home without a father -- because somebody shot him." Helluva mike drop and how that blithering idiot didn't see it coming ... well. MAGA. Not known for smarts.
Or how historically the way that government aid to families with children has made it all but impossible for families with fathers in the homes to get assistance.
It has been 12 years since Sandy Hook. We've had 12 years to experiment with more guns, not fewer; less gun control not more. As far as I can tell, and as I predicted (because I'm not an idiot), that policy has led to more gun violence not more. When do we get to try my way?
Should print up every copy, front-page sized, and send each copy to every member of Congress. 39 pages, 535 members. That's over 20,000 headlines being dropped on Congressional desks.
Republicans won't care until it starts happening at their private schools where their rich benefactors' children get educated. Until this happens at one of those prestigious 150 year old institutions where all the rich kids go, then it will never change. Why haven't you figured that out yet
This hit the town where I live today. A little gun control would go a long way. Female teenager with a 9mm. Kids aren’t born violent, they learn violence. I don’t have kids, but boy do I feel for the parents when it happens in schools. Just terrible.
This is terrorism. Pure and simple. The NRA and all their crazies are terrorizing our children in schools - where they should otherwise be inherently safe. This is terrorism.
Constantly sad but true. Just once I wish when the wife says, “There was another school shooting”, my first thought or question didn’t have to be, “Where in the States?”
If we start holding parents accountable for not locking up firearms in their homes so that children can not bring firearms to school, these shootings will go way down. No child should have access to a gun during school hours. They should be locked.
Don’t know if we’re the only country that claims firearms are the number one cause of death for teens and children. As long as leaders continue to protect gun ownership without safety mechanisms and accountability, children will continue to pay the price. 💔
even if that helps much, what about malls? churches? other mass shooting locations, you name em? I'm skeptical that going all-out metal detector security theater can scale up to every building in the US.
also the huge number of firearm suicides is not addressed by metal detectors.
Phew! Thank goodness it wasn’t the CEO of a health insurance company! If it had been another, they may have to consider common sense gun control measures!
Heard about this shooting on CBC radio, where it was announced with a sigh and a stat on how many school shootings the US has had this year. North of the border, we cannot understand why the government is apparently fine with it.
Yes We Can -Damn it
This is preventable. Sensible Gun Control. Education. I was the violence prevention coordinator Jeffco Schools, following the Tragedy at Columbine HS. We learned so much, & as we sadly learned in New Mexico, people still didn’t follow “Lessons Learned” Talk to experts, they know
As someone who doesn't like guns, I'd say the rest of the world has those, too. But what we don't have is this entitled idea that my grievance is worth more than other people's lives.
When it comes to gun violence and school shootings, the mental health issue that’s the most prolific and malignant is in the gun fetish culture itself.
It’s mind blowing to watch this in a country where we don’t carry guns. I don’t have a gun. Because I don’t need one. Having said that our men are killing our women at an unprecedented rate. If we had guns that would he even worse I guess.
That was me after Parkland. I lived in Fort Lauderdale and saw some of the ambulances and police cars heading up there.
Also when there was a shooting at the airport and I had to take a detour to get home, because the quickest way back went by the airport and was closed off.
From the 1st of January. 11,600 American citizens are Dead. From gun violence. 3500 American and others were killed in the twin towers. And America went to war.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
I wanna know why the Right, swarming with conspiracy theories after these tragedies, isn't applying the same logic they do literally every other time & saying stuff like, "OBVIOUSLY this a false flag to enact gun control after CEO got popped"
Only rich are off limits for their conspiracy theories.
Given how many of you guys cheered the murder of Brian Thompson for being associated with healthcare, I half-expected you to cheer the murder of young Christian kids for being Christian.
“The attack is at least the 83rd school shooting of 2024, surpassing 2023 for the most school shootings in a single year since CNN began tracking such shootings in 2008.”
And in America ammo manufacturers are planning to sell ammunition in vending machines. Really.
This is also the only country where assault rifles privately owned by individuals are legal.
Or the only country where private militia groups are allowed.
Or where hate speech is allowed?
My entire family (me excluded) are in education.
For decades now, I've thought about their safety.
When a child, educator, janitor, lunch lady ... walk out the door in the morning
we shouldn't have to worry if they will survive the school day.
This country is no longer any kind of shining beacon for the world. This country has lost its morals, its lawfulness and its causing death multiple times daily. Unbridled Greed is the killer.
Notably, Drumpf never mentioned this tragedy at his press conference today. After the shooting in Butler, PA, Mike John said, "This horrific act of political violence at a peaceful campaign rally has no place in this country and should be unanimously and forcefully condemned.” Crickets on WI.
Happens so often that since Sandy Hook, Jones lost his case for slandering Sandy Hook victims as "crisis actors", has Infowars sold off, The Onion bought it. It's come full circle that the new ownership can post this headline there.
This madness has reached epidemic proportions and still nothing is done to address it. It’s sickening and has to stop. Some form of gun control has to be implemented. These are senseless deaths. Is anyone listening?
As a psychologist emeritus, I been saying this for years! Deaths will continue endlessly! Gun are a health crisis. 415 million guns available with few restrictions. 100% probability that an angry; hating; alienated; disturbed individual will use a gun to enact his violence!
Awful. I just don’t understand this response at all. You realise it’s ridiculous to the rest of the world where children don’t get shot or have drills for it in school? Your poor kids.
BS!!!!! The other side CHOOSES not to do anything!!! So what do they do? Teachers & students must prevent & protect themselves & HOPE that not too many are killed!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Why does everyone insist on calling them school shootings? Healthcare CEO was murdered, right? So aren't these school murders with a few that survived being shot. Why aren't these called murders? @abc7.bsky.social @cnn.com @nbcnews.com Because we don't want school associated with the word murder?
No "legal" way to prevent it.
Blame your sacred constitution and democracy. In a well governed Republic, drug addicts would be in hospitals and gun owners who fuck up would be dead.
The Republicans, Koch brothers, ‘gun totin’ MTG and their supporters should all reconsider their stance on guns.🤬
You don’t kill *your future*
however, as an Australian that’s easy for me to say and I’m so sorry for the American people who have been personally touched, affected and irreparably hurt.
It takes far more emotional intelligence and social intelligence to resolve our differences and disputes without violence than with violence. If you doubt me, consider the average spider has the cognitive wherewithal to assault its peers.
Me too. Went to the university of Wisconsin in Madison. It was the funniest newspaper ever created. I can’t even fathom things like this happening there.
I still have some hard copies of the newspaper
from when I was there. They were free and you
could pick them up anywhere. Those were the
good old days.

Are these like joke comments or like some double dip post meta irony shit???

Shameful
Fuck your "thoughts & prayers" BS instead pass the gun protection laws! Ban assault weapons, ghost guns, hand guns, etc.
The Abundant Life Christian school is no longer abundant! RIP for the children.

USA. Where life is sacred only before birth. Then it's fair game.
BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.

28 years later we've not had another school shooting.
