Sigh. Another day, another (almost) mass shooter. A guy wearing a tactical vest and carrying a long gun tried to attack a church but he was thwarted by a parishioner and a security guard. He's dead, the guard wounded but not seriously. Of course, the cops say the would-be shooter "appears to have mental issues."

It's the fucking GUNS, dammit!

This one was *walking distance from my house* and it is certainly **not** in a "high-crime" area, just a typical suburban locale.

@bloodravenlib "This senseless shooting means we must BAN MAYONNAISE!". #ItsTheGuns

The whole "gun enthusiasts show elevated levels of lead in their blood which is actively corroding their brains, leaving them cognitively impaired, emotionally dysregulated, and very quick to anger" angle is pretty difficult to dismiss.

Explains so much about why cops are the way they are, given that they show the highest lead concentration among gun users.

This isn't so much a case of a complete fuckwit having an epiphany and turning into a non-fuckwit.

It's more a case of a complete fuckwit becoming slightly less of a fuckwit - perhaps just a 'fuckwit' - under the pressure of Reality.

It's encouraging.

Since 1999, there have been 426 shootings at schools in America during school hours.
Republican Senators loyal to the gun lobby are responsible.

#Florida lawmakers look to move up in the pol field -hoping: changes to gun laws may sway voters into giving their support.

Fine filed SB 94 -to repeal law preventing ppl <21 from buying rifles. *Submitted their resignations, but Rudman is running for a seat in Dist. 1. Fine: FL’s Dist. 6.

@augieray
Shooting school children is apparently the new 'dog bites man' story; not worth noting.

Is it possible that the gun culture is based on masculine cosplay? Insecure men who use guns as part of their "real man" costume?
