I'm curious to see if this effects the gun control debate.

[–] best_username_ever@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Like "we need more guns to prevent such a situation"?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

There was one good guy with a gun and they shot him.

[–] The25002@lemmings.world 7 points 3 months ago

What I want to know is... Was the shooter using a bump stock?

We need to arm more teachers.

Dear Satan, why won't you take that fucker? Please, please, pretty please? I'll sacrifice a goat.

They'll pray over bullets and 'purify' them, then resell them for more.

Get your blessed bullets here, your heavenly authorized ammo, your cartridges of Christ! Sanctify your shooting today!

All rounds receive a GUARANTEED thought AND prayer such that they only be used for good!

I am actually surprised there is not already some megachurch or QAnon pastor doing this, there must be.

I, for one, have now changed my stance. I think target shooting should now be a requirement to graduate high school.

Nah, they haven't finished taking over yet. They won't try to disarm the populace until they're confident they control everything.

But don't think that the people that run the Republican party actually give a damn about firearm rights. It's just another single issue voter bait. Just like most of them don't give a damn about abortions, but they have to say they do so they can maintain that segment of the christian right.

And I'm not talking about rank and file senators, governors, or such. I'm talking the people that are central to the entire southern strategy that has been playing out since Nixon.
