Take your bow conservatives. And be proud of what you’ve failed to accomplish.
60This pisses me off. I live in Oklahoma and my son is 16 and part of his class assignment is attend live events like a football game but now it could be to dangerous. Sick of this. And Republicans will never change.

Fuck whoever that teacher is so hard for making kids to go after school activities for a grade. That's should 100% be a choice. My daughter has major anxiety issues and going to school events, or any events with large crowds is unbearable for her. She had trouble with a lunchtime party we went to recently with 10-20 people. I would read that teacher the fucking riot act.

They accomplished their goals, they just lied about what their goals were.
They're paid $16 million a year (and millions of single-issue voters who will tolerate absolutely anything as long as they have their guns) to protect the profits of gun companies, and they've absolutely accomplished that.
This child was just another person they don't give a shit about who had to suffer the consequences.

There were seven cops there and they still didn’t catch the shooter? Wtf
40Yeah, let's blame this one on the cops. Not the person shooting into a fucking stand full of people.
Good luck grabbing the one dude who shoved a hand gun back into his jacket while people panic run out of the stands lol.
-66So if I understand correctly we can't blame cops when they shoot somebody, we can't blame cops when somebody else shoots somebody right in front of them, and we can't blame cops for not shooting white supremacist assholes.
What exactly can they be held accountable for in your fucked up system of thought?
21Yes. Blame the cops. If the “only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” and the guys hired to be there as the “good guys with a gun” did fuck-all, then I guess it stands to reason that nothing can stop a bad guy with a gun.
Unless… we had some kind of method for preventing the original purchase of the bad guy’s gun. Not possible? Only way to stop is with another gun? See above. Your talking point failed, just like it did in Uvalde.
Maybe that’s not the ONLY way. Perhaps y’all should get a little more creative with your solutions instead of mindlessly dismissing those brought by people you’ve decided to hate.
Also, “lol”? Fuck yourself.

School shooting: check
Football game: check
Nothing will be done about it: check
God bless America
37The only logical solution is even more guns.
35If the victim had 10 guns on them, there would have been a chance that the bullet would hit one of their guns instead. Therefore more guns would have saved the victim's life.
10Did anyone test how good guns are at stopping bullets?

US society has made a collective decision concerning freedom and gun ownership and this is the outcome they'll have to (continue to) live with.
20I think most of society wants some protections in place. It's the politicians (and Supreme Court justices if you somehow think they aren't politicians still) that keep us from getting that. They would risk too much going against the "no safety precautions for firearms" groups, so they just don't.

I ate lunch with some friends today who had a student that attended the game. Luckily they are ok.
10Anyone else think the title makes it sound like the 16yo was shooting at the players, then inexplicably died?
7I put a pause in my head after "shooting" but I'd understand whyd ya think that

American children who experience gun violence at school finds that they have higher rates of school absenteeism, lower high school and college graduation rates
Imagine being asked to play on this field after this. This school may never win a game again. What absolute bullshit that a stranger in a crowd can threaten the lives and outcomes of our teens.
