Why can’t we do something about guns? Climate change? Homelessness? The absurd cost of healthcare in America? Turns out there’s a single source to all these problems…
1 in 5 U.S. adults say they’ve had a family member killed by a gun.
1 in 6 have witnessed a shooting.
1 in 5 have been personally threatened with a gun.
Hey MSM, Stop calling Mike Johnson 'charming', 'friendly', 'a nice guy', or 'personable' — he's extreme. He voted to overturn the 2020 election. He's a theocrat. He's dangerous AF.
If you can't spot a wolf in sheep's clothing, you're middle school level naive or feigning so — get the hell out of Journalism.
My daughter was walking to the King Soopers grocery in Boulder, CO as it was being shot up by a gunman. Her dad called her to make sure she knew it was going on. That call turned her around and she went home and locked down. She moved to #Maine a few years ago. I texted her now about the Lewiston, ME shooting happening. She didn’t know. She’s 20 mins from #Lewiston - not close, but not far enough for me.
This problem is unique because places like #Canada, #Serbia, #Slovakia, #Switzerland and #Germany have a higher density of weapons yet don't even come close adjusted per capita.
Rep. Paul Gosar urged a fight to the finish. “The FBI raid on Trump’s home tells us one thing,” the far-right Arizona congressman tweeted. “Failure is not an option. We must destroy the FBI.”
We take responsibility for the arson attack on an excavator belonging to Hentschke Bau GmbH on September 26 at a Deutsche Bahn construction site near the Attilastraße S-Bahn station in Berlin-Tempelhof. According to press reports, the excavator burned out.
Fittingly, the second largest single AfD donation in the 2017 Bundestag election campaign came from Hentschke Bau GmbH with €19,500.
Drews and his Hentschke Bau GmbH are a good example of how liberal entrepreneurs with their capital and (regional) influence pave the way for the right-wing movement.
This is already the ninth arson attack on equipment belonging to Hentschke Bau GmbH. This time it hit a construction site in Berlin-Tempelhof, where the company is involved in the construction of a railroad bridge over the Teltow Canal. There, in the night of September 25 to 26, another of the company's excavators, a Liebherr A 918 Compact, went up in flames. And once again, the findings: arson. The property damage amounts to around 190,000 euros. This is according to the company.
@kkarhan just shut up dude. you boosted the fuckin toot then came back on it when you realized it was too extreme for your privileged ass. you don't even begin to grasp the fact that it is sabotage which even anarcho-syndicalist view highly as a tactic. you then threw a #PropagandaOfTheDeed hashtag without knowing what it means and i schooled you on it. you clearly don't know shit about the minimum security prison. and you keep calling me a "useful idiot" when you are state-capitalism's useful idiot. motherfucker, use a book!
Here in Europe we play the same games, watch the same movies and read the same books and browse the same internet but we do not have daily mass shootings
"Daily deaths by gun" is not something normal and should not be accepted
Please stop finding excuses and start protecting your people

Also with the Machine Gun Registry closed for longer than I live, there are no new "Assault Weapons" and the few select-fire guns are already so expensive for decades, I've yet to see a single case of a school shooter even obtaining one.
In a sane country, we wouldn’t allow AR-15s in the hands of anyone, let alone a white supremacist with a history of mental issues. And we wouldn’t have to lock down whole school campuses and have students crawl out of windows to save themselves from an active shooter. Other countries have passed laws to prevent this madness. Yet, we allow it regularly to happen.
Germany has ~15M legally owned (official statistics) and at least 16,7M (known discrepancy of pre-1972 sales and amnesty registrations) but most likely > 40M illegally owned guns (estimates w/ inventory losses, smuggling and DIY since 1871). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No7BTPf52NM
The hordes of journalists "covering" tonight's Republican joint press conference are only the latest evidence that Big Journalism relentlessly wastes valuable resources on made-for-TV infotainment.
Just imagine all the actual journalism those people could be doing if they weren't wasting time and money in Milwaukee.
@raymondpert As much as I'm not a fan of any restrictions, I do think that demanding people to have at least shown sufficient proficiency and gun etiquette, knowledge of safety rules and not being known for domestic violence or convicted of violent crimes is reasonable to demand.
SAVING AMERICA! THE GOP'S NEW SLOGAN! SAVING AMERICA FROM? ALL THE BILLS THAT WOULD HAVE IMPROVED THE AVERAGE AMERICAN'S LIVES, RETSORED SOME BASIC RIGHTS AND HELPED THE AVERAGE AMERICAN FAMILY!. THE DEMOCRATS ARE FAR FROM PERFECT BUT, THE GOP ONLY OFFERS HATE, DIVISION AND PANDERING FOR THE RICH AND PROTECTING THEIR LYING, CORRUPT MEMBERS, REVENGE INVESTIGATIONS THAT WASTES TIME AND MONEY AND FIND NOTHING? THE WHITE RACIST AMERICAN HAS TO REALIZE THEY CAN STILL HATE AND HAVE NICE THINGS! LMAO!
The problem ain't #guns, but #ViolenceCulture, since there are way more [illegal] guns per capita in Switzerland, Finland, Serbia, Croatia and Germany than the USA.
Otherwise we'd see similar numbers [adjusted per guns & capita] around the globe - but we don't [and no, suicides don't count!]...
