I think they need politicizing or are the offerings to the gun gods so sacrosanct that their worshipers believe that none should interfere?

Indeed why not just classify all shootings as part of their religious practices where blood is offered up to the 2nd amendment gun gods? That way they can claim immunity from government intervention into their "religious practices". If only the gun faithful would be honest about their religion they could actually establish the sacred right to have people shot without government interference.

4. Today, a 6-y.o. girl and her family were shot after her toy ball rolled into the gunman's yard.

if everybody likes him how are the sick weirdos going to make excuses about how the shooter was a psychic and thus not only knew the kid was bad news but also deserved immediate summary execution?

as is normal with literally every one of these cases. sick weirdos just gotta make up weird weird weird fucking excuses as to why murdering black kids is a-okay and if they have to rely on supernatural abilities to get to that point... so be it.

Fuck me, I just read about that.

I honestly don’t know how we fix this shit, outside of repealing the 2nd Amendment, and we all know that is not going to happen.

Kid probably got a parking ticket once so he's no angel, just another thug.

My only ambition on behalf of my children is that they be a Force for Good in the Universe.

Somebody has to be.

My son saw a sailor in dress whites on a street in San Diego, face down, blood around him. He said people were walking past him, stepping over him, and stopping to take pictures of him.

DS turned him over, opened his airway, and that was all it took for him to start breathing. Stayed with him, rendered aid. Took forever for first responders to arrive. A couple of corpsmen happened to be walking down the street and took over, just before the ambulance arrived. That's stuck with me.

Where's the humanity?

I hope Biden reaches out to the other families who've had their kids shot this week. This has been a horrific week.
