This week's mass shooting.

Same as last week's mass shooting.

And next week's mass shooting.

In a country where gun rights are upheld above human rights.

You are all doomed and will never be able to turn the clock back. Admit it the NRA has already won. The loonies have control of your asylum.

A 65-year-old Wisconsin man is facing charges after firing bowling balls and bowling pins from a cannon. One of the balls went through a neighbor’s barn, and the owner found her 10-month-old horse dead.

Lisa Kroll felt her house shake on the 4th of July, but she thought it was one of her neighbors lighting off fireworks. It turns out, they were shooting bowling balls out of a homemade cannon and several of them landed on her property.

Kroll says when she went to feed her horses the next day, she noticed a bowling ball had gone through the roof of her barn. She also found one of her horses dead with a head wound that she believes was caused by the flying objects, and six more balls and three bowling pins in a field by her house.

My last piss take on your gun culture for the moment, from the WTF file.This is about someone who really should know better.

Colorado State Rep. Patrick Neville, a survivor of the Columbine High School shooting, introduced a bill Tuesday that would allow guns in Colorado schools.Neville was a student at Columbine on April 20, 1999, when two peers opened fire, killing 13 people.The only thing that is going to stop murderers intent on doing harm is to give good people the legal authority to carry a gun to protect themselves and our children,” Neville said in a statement.“More of my friends would still be alive today.”The bill put forward by Neville, a Republican, would let teachers with concealed weapons permits carry guns at the state's schools in an attempt to halt future shootings.“Unfortunately, the current system continues to leave our children as sitting targets for criminals intent on doing harm," he said.

If only we lived in a third world country where everyone works like slaves for pennies and could never afford a gun none of this would have happened.

Don't worry, the GOP is working on it...

If only the horse had been polite enough to have a bowling ball cannon of its own. On the bright side, this gentleman demonstrated responsible cannon control in that he was able to hit the broad side of the barn. Yuk yuk. I'll be curled up under my desk.

They have guns, and I'd like to stay above-ground. I'd rather we just legislate their guns the fuck outta here.

Since none of the GOPpers have been gunned down recently, I think you're safest when wrapped tightly in the aMurrikan flag.

I read on the news yesterday that Kansas does not require registration and such whats for long guns and hand guns (the same kind used in the shooting). And that the shooter was a long time fellon (going back to 96). Dear gun humpers; you try to tell me that a background check would do no good in this case and I will smack you in your tiny shriveled nuts.

That's a man who blames himself, and was failed by therapists and family who just let him go on blaming himself.

I see no way out. As soon as it's clear for me to do it, I'm moving to the UK.
