    Literally the best case scenario, security on-site and extensive active shooter training on-site, and still 8 people were shot along with one cop.

    And they’re going to celebrate this because “only” two people died.

    If only there was some way to prevent this? 🤔

            Well in an ideal world we’d outlaw private gun ownership, making all guns collectively owned and regulated by the communal armory. If someone needs a gun they need to explain why to the elected quartermaster, have all the necessary permits and paperwork and training, and be subject to inspection. Literally a “well regulated militia”

            That’s not practical at the moment, though, so just disarming this fucked up country is probably the only option. A gun buyback program with a very generous payout, combined with a much more strict regulatory system.

            But that’s not going to happen. We’ll just have mass shootings every day forever. 🇺🇸
