It's crazy. I've lived in the States, Canada, China and Japan in my life. Gun violence or mass shootings results in national or at least regional mourning.
But we're so used to it, even 2 days for people to grieve, or even just calming down, is too long for some people.
It's not normal in a lot of the world. But if America is all you know, you're the frog in the pot of increasingly boiling water. It's really depressing.

I was looking forward to the Saturday regime. It’s a shame that they picked a real candidate.

Wait for what?
EDIT: y’all can downvote all you want, but no one can give me an answer? What does basketball have to wait for? For people to forget the shooting happened? For an arbitrary amount of time decided by reddit users?

In your opinion how long should they postpone events?

Reply to comment by Sea-Slide348 in [Rapoport] Sources: Raiders QB Derek Carr has informed the team he won’t accept a trade to the Saints or any other team. The team is expected to release him and he’ll be a top free agent. by BCLetsRide69
Can someone explain to me what this trading is? I see it every year but I don't follow sports and have no clue how it works. I always just assumed players could go wherever they wanted if there was an opening?

My point was that the excuse used to delay or prevent gun control is that the founders intended the amendment so it can't be changed. Which is stupid considering it's called the 2nd... Amendment

I can't tell you the why, but the how is: crazy people are allowed to own guns.

The solution certainly isn’t getting rid of guns, the bad guys are gonna get them regardless. And if you wouldn’t have police officers in school cause they fail to protect the public, you want to take my ability to defend myself away from me? Fuck out of here with that.
The major issue comes down to 2 things. Police funding and mental health.
People are constantly spewing bullshit about how the police need to be defunded, but when shit like this happens who do that go crawling back to? The fucking cops… you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
We need to increase funding to the police departments so they can have better training, more equipment (more variety of equipment. Ie more less than lethal options as well as more effective/efficient ways of de-escalation), and the incentive to have better (in terms of morals and role models to the public) people in these positions of authority.
I live less than a mile from where the shootings were happening on campus and had my gun loaded next to me the entire night until it came over the police scanners that the suspect had killed himself.
And yes to answer your question about more guns. Had some or all of the students involved had guns there likely wouldn’t be as many people injured. I’m not saying everyone should have a gun but an armed society makes a polite society.

"Things can change in 200+ years."
Well, its too bad that this thing didn't change in your favor. (Also, Slavery? Voting Rights? Those were charactarized by a legalized rights deprivation, not by formally recognized criminals screwing things up for everyone)
Sorry, the gun lobby exists because the demand for guns is rather high, not because congress is so sweet on them. And its gotten higher across all demographics since 2020.
Btw, I remember being told the Republicans would support bans if they saw Black people getting more guns. But thats failed to materialize.
Now, we could look into why people aren't disarming, but... Nah, contempt for the population, or just assuming Australia and the US are alike, is easier.
"Let me guess your solution. More guns? Officers in schools?"
Just because Uvalde screwed up, doesn't mean its a bad idea, under circumstances where they're not being led by an idiot. As evidenced by the fact that one guy killed the shooter because he wasnt being hobbled by some moron chief.
Anyways... How about 10 year sentences for any violation, hole punches in drivers licenses, and system meant to catch out liars and proxy buyers before they can become trouble?

Almost as stupid as Chic Fil A opening up shop in the Atlanta Falcons stadium.
I know other events are scheduled there, but the biggest one by far happens on the day they are closed.

that's how it almost always is with these knuckleheads. they demand we treat them with kid gloves while they can go and be nasty toward everyone else. they were likely spoiled as kids, what can you do?
