Used to be, people would mention the weather, or maybe a civic project. (Sighs in nostalgia)

Shows that these shootings are becoming too commonplace… but gun “rights” supporters still insist that it’s too soon to talk about gun control reform… some insist that it’s unconstitutional to even think about it…

Just another day in the USA.

It has reached a point where if I’m asked if I’ve had my shots, I’m not sure if they’re referring to the vaccine or bullets?!!

Indeed. Which one?

The Indy shooter bought his guns legally, so this makes it all better somehow to know that if you are nuts, you can easily buy guns.

Please. Don’t feed the troll. Please.

Aha!

Weird how the Republicans and NRA promote guns that lead to continuous mass murders. Apparently they don’t care about the lives of Americans.

A lot of people have “thoughts” on “the shooting.” A lot of people even offer “prayers” with those thoughts. Isn’t that nice? /s

@Terry Preta Gardens: flagged. Also, for the record, incorrect.

If you must respond to TPG, use a brand-new comment. That way you get to correct the misinformation and the troll doesn’t get fed.

There were only two or three today.

When is the last time a republican every did anything for the USA?

It is impossible to cite evidence whether mass or ANY gun violence has ramped up or down.

There are NO official statistics at the national level because Republicans* have blocked those data from being collected.

.

Republicans* hate accurate information as much as they hate democracy.

Wow, this one was in yesterday’s paper. Usually the toons printed are days to weeks later.

exactly…

Which one indeed! Again this morning (Monday), in Australia I awaken to the news of yet another shooting in the US. God Almighty! How many of these does it take before someone says enough? F*#!%*^g thoughts and prayers aren’t working you fools!

It’s 7 AM, have we had our mass shooting for the day?

I decided that I am going to fly my flag at half mast until we can go 30 days in a row without a mass shooting. Is that too much to ask?

One more time! “Every time there’s a mass shooting … my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and the families.” – Ted Cruz, “Now excuse me, I have to go to the bank to cash my check from the NRA, then I’m off to Cancun.”

In all of the most recent shootings, there no reports on how the guns were gotten. Crazies do not abide by gun laws!!!!
