One person died and 21 others were wounded at a city Super Bowl victory rally Wednesday and three people are in custody, Kansas City officials said, after gunfire shattered a joyous afternoon as a massive crowd celebrated the Chiefs latest NFL title.
In a Reddit thread about this, someone got so mad when I pointed out they were wrong about the Sandy Hook shooter owning his guns, even though that’a a critical piece to implementing saner gun control: checks on the purchaser would have accomplished nothing here, as his mother bought the guns. You’d need to take a different approach, like free public mental health care (or repealing the second amendment, but that’s much harder). One of the first steps toward even attempting saner gun control laws here is working out what’s going wrong. shaking my head
Anyway. You are right, but not right enough. We need people like Bernie Sanders in charge if you want to see meaningful change in gun control.
Bernie wasn’t much of an anti-2A advocate until he ran for the Democratic bid in 2016. Align with party values or get out.
Our country is sick. Healthcare is inaccessible and right out unaffordable, the Bible belt vilifies science, education is both piss poor and stupid expensive, we’re the richest country on the planet but a tiny handful of grubs are hoarding all the wealth, something something preaching to the choir.
People wouldn’t commit politically motivated domestic terrorism if living here wasn’t made intentionally shitty by the people in charge. I want our planet to stop burning, but they’re only focused on revoking trans rights or whatever fabricated problem they’re whining about this week. Americans need to wake the fuck up and stop being so complacent.
