    Reminder: under Clinton's assault weapons ban, mass shooting deaths dropped by 43%. When the ban was allowed to expire under GW Bush, mass shooting deaths rose by over 239%. Mamdani is right: we can choose to end this nightmare. It's the fucking guns.

    It’s the guns and the Supreme Court that was appointed to perpetuate this and corporate “citizenship.”

    "we possess the cure"... we should but we can't because the intelligence we should have to do so doesn't spread into the great unwashed of our country.

    Apart from the guns, you know what else would really help? Not naming the killers and not showing their photos. It was already established in the '90s that a massive driver for mass killers was other mass killers, Peter Jackson's movie The Frighteners has it as part of the plot and that released in 1996. We've known for years and still not stopped it.

    “Guns are important for self defense” so how many lives are being saved in the name of self defense and how many deaths are occurring due to shootings????

    But we won't.

    Anyone who wishes to live without gun violence would be better off emigrating.
