My point is the fixation on them when the vast majority of senseless murders are in inner cities and certainly not with "assault weapons".
The victims are just the wrong color to make the news.

One cannot equate children being slaughtered in schools with 'general' murders within a population or worse yet, inner cities. There are a lot of factors that contribute to these murders, but not so in schools.

Children in schools are easy targets confined to their classrooms. It also affects their mental health having to sit in a classroom wondering when the shots are going to ring out. Even most adults while not intimidated will be weary.

Yes, the odds are very low for a particular class room, but in the minds of the children, all they can and will think about is "will they be next". And we expect these children to actually learn in this environment while they wonder, "what the hell are we doing here".

Keep this up and schools will be closing because no parent will want to send their children to a school.

GOP congressman from Tennessee says 'we're not gonna fix' school shootings and explains that he home schools his daughter

QED.

Meanwhile in Magabamastan Gov. MeMaw pushes "antiwoke" legislation after promoting permitless "constitutional carry" guns for everybody and another mass shooting kids with guns follows.
As long as they aren't being taught "woke", the priorities are plain.

A man killed 5 neighbors, including a child, after one asked him to stop shooting his AR-15-style rifle in his yard, sheriff says.
Family members had asked for quiet because it was 11:00 pm and an infant was sleeping.

Guns make people want to shoot people.

I posted this and another killing in Houston in another thread. In the second, a guy took his GF to a restaurant and found out they were scammed by a parking lot attendant for $20 each. So he goes to his car, gets his gun, shoots the scammer in the head and calmly returns to the restaurant to finish his dinner.

Great punch line: Guns make people want to shoot people.

I have an AR-15. I have shot it a few dozen times in to a target across a creek with a few miles of earth as a back stop on my 65 acres. They are fun to shoot.
But, I really just bought it to piss off morons who think that the mess they have created in society can be solved by not getting rid of cruel, evil, heartless, sociopaths and psychopaths , but getting rid of guns.
As if cruel evil psychopaths couldn't kill you some other way.

Killings just started in the 60's you know, after AR-15's.

And then we have our fucked up red state "Constitutional Sheriffs/Sovereign Sheriffs" who have decided they can just ignore any federal laws they don't like.
