New source saying 4 dead and up to 30 injured


I'm afraid it's going to go up even more.

I heard it on Fox 8. Might not be a link yet.

It's CNN

I have to assume that 30 number includes a lot of people receiving treatment for minor stuff, but I suppose we'll see.

CNN strikes me as likely to inflate figures if possible.

Better regulation is just another way of saying the only the government gets guns.

There have certainly been several where it has ballooned. Hopefully that's not the scenario here.

Even the first amendment has limits, context has always been important when interpreting the constitution. Pretty sure the founding fathers would agree limits are needed when guns today can mow down children in seconds. And this isn’t about feelings it’s about making sure this shite stops happening at the rate it is. But sure posture about how stubborn your are on one single amendment while we see yet incident where the blood of children gets shed in our schools again

Meanwhile, on the Politics board...
I genuinely don't understand what those posts are supposed to mean.

Someone is causing teenagers to carry out school shootings at certain places and times?

How would that even work?

Fine. The government needs to enforce the laws already on the books. They seem either unwilling or unable to do so. Until then, no more limits.

Not to derail the thread significantly, but:

- People who promote gun regulations typically loathe gun owners, our families and the values we care about.

- People who oppose regulations simply do not trust those who promote them, partially due to the above.

Everything else aside, that is a major hurdle that isn't close to being overcome.

This just isn’t true your argument is just nothing but fear mongering. We have evidence from other similar countries that gun regulation can work and cut down on massacres like this while also not leading to some hypothetical dictatorship.

Tell us how this conspiracy would operate. Is the school shooter working directly with the Democratic National Party or a more fringe liberal group?

Plenty of people who want proper regulation also own guns or have zero problem with ownership.

Waay to late for that to be a consideration here. The supply of black market guns would be incredible.

Y'all need to find something more practical than bannings.

Like Australia with absolutely insane COVID overreach?

Like the UK where you're arrested and imprisoned for Facebook posts?

If you really want to talk "common sense" regulations you're going to have to get deep into the weeds on why your opponents do not trust you.

Western Europe for instance isn’t dealing with insane amounts of shootings like the US is
