Three days after my 6th birthday, my school went into a lockdown. It went into lockdown because there was a shooter at the university less than two miles away from my school. A year and a half before, there had been a mass shooting at the same university, where 32 people were killed.
I don't remember any of these things happening. I was too young.
A couple of years ago, my mom told me the story about when I came home from school and told her about the lockdown drill we did. My mom and my sister, who was eight at the time, made eye contact. My mom and my sister both knew that it wasn't a drill. And even at eight, she knew not to tell me.
In the aftermath of the Georgia school shooting, I am left thinking about this. I am thinking about the fact that my mother always hugged me before school, every single day, because she was terrified she wouldn't see me come home. And now, I'm thinking about the families who didn't have their kids come home.
I have watched multiple different videos of students of that high school talking about what happened. I saw a girl talking about how the shooter pointed the gun at her and ran towards her. I saw a boy talking about one of the teachers who had been killed, about how the last thing they talked about was his tardies. And I saw a girl talking about how the killer had been sitting next to her in class before all of this happened.
These are all children. They should not have to deal with this.
nobody should

Remember that the ability to protect ourselves from reactionary violence is based on our ability to arm ourselves. The left using firearms to protect ourselves from right wingers who want us dead isn't some theoretical fantasy, it's a real thing that happens and has saved lives.
All laws that limit the ownership of weapons limit them purely in favor of the privileged, sometimes that means only private citizens deemed trustworthy by the state get weapons, sometimes that means only those payed to defend the state and capital get weapons, but it always makes it easy for the left to be stopped with violent force. This is why weapons don't just have to be legal, they must be decriminalized.
You cannot remove weapons from politics just by outlawing them. You can only decide how much privilege someone needs to utilize them.
If you consider yourself a leftist, please stop supporting any laws that limit the ownership of weapons.

i walk into my dad’s room to watch an episode of the simpsons with him, immediately turns into a discussion about the chinese government where he blurts out it’s the fact the chinese people don’t have guns that makes their living conditions so poor. turns into an argument about gun rights, i bring up american suicide rates in relation to legal guns and rejection of mens mental health in favour of patriarchal aggression. my dad hits me with this:
“if someone wants to commit suicide, nothin’ll stop them and you’re wastin’ your time.”
i ended the conversation here, struck with tears i knew he’d go off about my immaturity. i still only have one thought:
what if he knew, his own daughter tried to take her life five times, wanting to more than dozens, because of her father, but is alive right in front of him because of getting help.
i never told him i’ve attempted even once, he knows i go to therapy but he complains about my therapist not telling him what i say in confidentiality. he asks me for it too, and i don’t tell him because it’s about him. and he’s a somewhat abusive man, nazi, 75 years old and just about done with all the kids he’s had. if i told him i’m in therapy because i tried to take my life because of him i’d be done for, no way to say what but likely beaten or disowned. and here he is, my dad, telling me there’s no hope for suicidal people and they genuinely are better off dead for the sake of everyone else. telling his own creation, the very girl who had tried five different times and five different ways to kill herself, alive in front of him.
neonazis are ruling america and they don’t have a single drop of empathy for the life of anyone completely innocent.

Thousands form a human chain in Tennessee to mark school shooting anniversary.
On March 27, 2024, advocates for gun safety gathered to form a human chain in Tennessee to mark one year after an elementary school shooting that left six dead, including three children. Thousands linked arms on Wednesday from the Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt University to the Tennessee State Capitol, calling for gun law reform on the anniversary of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville. It’s time to end gun violence. Vote for representatives who will vote to support gun safety.

The United States after 911 where 2,996 people died: Never forget. This is a horrific act of terrorism that we must do everything to fight. Let's tighten airport security. Let's put three year old children with Islamic names on the no-fly list.
The United States as the far-right carries out 267 acts of domestic terrorism and 45,222 people die from gun violence in 2020: Let's not turn this into a political issue. Guns aren't the problem, we need to focus on mental health. We're not going to support free health care though. Also let's not use polarising words like "terrorism" there were good people on both sides.
What's the point of going overseas to fight the war on terror, while you ignore the battles on your own land?

As an European it's so surreal watching Americans walk around in public, in stores and around kids with fully loaded assault rifles so that they can "feel safe", when the guns are the reason why they are going out around town armed to the teeth in the first place.
And then when you suggest tightening gun regulations they'll tell you about how they won't be able to protect themselves even tho we are doing that just fine without guns.
To be quite frank it just sounds like these people want guns so that they can pick fights with whoever they want and suffer no consequences.
Like look at the Proud Boys. Absolute wankers who would get the shit beaten out of them if they tried doing anything here in Europe. But because they are in America they can just wave around their guns and keep saying all this dumbass bullshit with 0 consequence.

as a person with a brain i don’t like school shootings but i don’t doubt for a fucking second the perpetrators are worth any less than any other “good” human being. school shooters are a product of OUR WORSHIPPED SYSTEM that enables violence, pushes access to weapons, and neglects mental health. the police aren’t a defence force when they “protect” the people by killing victims of [their] system. fucking fascist.
