#gun control

[hamptersadness]

As a teacher it pisses me off.

The students that are killed in school shootings haven't lived a full life. Some don't even know what algebra is.

The CEO has lived a full(er) life. He's not some kid who wants to play lightsaber cat battle in the front yard.

The real act of terrorism is the government saying that a CEOs life is more important than

16 6 year olds

4 7 year olds

6 teachers

Who were all killed in the Sandy Hook Massacre.

My sister is 6. And right now shes worrying about how many presents she's going to get for christmas. She should not worry about how to hide from a fucking gunman in her school.

Those numbers mean the world to me and yet they mean jack shit to the federal government.

My students should not worry for their life or their teacher's life or their friends lives. They should be worrying about their grades, or what they are going to play at recess or whether they'll get candy today.

I shouldn't have to tag this as teacher problems

When you kill a healthcare ceo, it’s terrorism. When someone shoots your kid in elementary school, it’s thoughts and prayers for like a week and then they move on. It truly shows the fact that terrorism is whatever the american government wants it to mean.

Something I just realized about Luigi Mangione being accused of the Thompson shooting

The NYPD is claiming they found a 3d Printed gun on Mangione

That implies that Luigi Mangione didnt have a gun registered to himself so the police had to invent evidence

Also Ive been seeing his life all over the news and there is no mention of this guy being into 3d Printing which would be a damning piece of evidence right?

I have a feeling that if they execute whoever the UHC shooter is, there will be riots

age 12: made a r@pe accusation & pressed charges, but case was archived.

age 19 (inspired by columbine & bundy): plans to take her life, writing- “to family & friends: i thank you for everything you have done for me & i am sorry for everything i have caused. i would never have dreamed of dying like this; however, this was the best option. i loved each one of you, even if i didn’t show it. i hope you understand & forgive me, for only this way will i find peace.”

thankfully every step failed, but when will we learn?

NEW SHOOTER DROPPED ON BRAZIL!!!!!

This is Lyedja Yasmin, 19, a third-year student. She entered a classroom at Berilo Wanderley School in Neópolis, Natal, armed with a revolver this morning. A tragedy was avoided thanks to the intervention of a student, who was grazed in the head by a bullet while trying to restrain the student. She had left a farewell letter, indicating that the act could result in an unprecedented massacre in yet another school in the country.

I used to think there would never be any serious gun legislation in the states. If thousands of dead children isn't enough, surely there will never be anything to move the needle. It turns out, America is like one more CEO away from finally getting that gun control they desperately need. Who knew?

Excellent commentary:

Do Not Do The Cops’ Work For Them.

You know, I wonder if some of the reason some people who are not part of the 1% have a strong negative reaction to one person being killed by a gun in a country where 48,000 people were killed by guns in 2022 alone is precisely because this one person was a very wealthy CEO.

Maybe to some people, it was the first time they realized that not even someone like that wasn’t safe from violence. That even if THEY reached that status (let’s not go into how impossible that is for most people, not the point here) they would not be safe either. That there just isn’t a way to be safe with how things are right now in their country. Not even being on top of the world.

Probably not in so many words, but maybe it’s like watching a top player still fail a challenge and concluding you have no shot, except the challenge is just not being shot in broad daylight.

Maybe I’m just deluding myself to drum up some hope that it will make more people question things.

Since folks are exhausted from hearing about Project 2025 and Agenda 47, here are some reasons to feel hopeful about Harris

(It would be wonderful if folks could reblog this, a lot of people are feeling very discouraged right now and could use the morale boost!)
