Is it too soon to talk about gun law reforms?
We had a shooting in the USA in the last 24 hours, how insensitive of you to raise the topic
Yes, let’s discuss how unnecessary they are after all the shooting stops
… or as republicans say, Tuesday.
“‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says the Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.”
— The Onion
Alderwood Mall? That’s the nicer one! If it were the Everett Mall, I’d be unsurprised, but Alderwood? That’s wild.
You mix teenagers and guns and it doesn’t really matter how nice the mall is.
As the parent of a teenager, I know exactly how moody they can get and how quickly their moods can change from happy to “I will fucking kill a motherfucker.” I wouldn’t give a teenager a gun in a million years.
The minimum age of enlistment should give you nightmares.
The idea of mandatory enlistment gives me nightmares. But also the fact that you can be old enough to kill but not old enough to be trusted with alcohol or tobacco. That is just ludicrous on the face of it. This nation is a madhouse.
But only a good teenager with a gun can stop a bad teenager with a gun.
The KFC needs a machinegun nest, and Dunkin should keep some landmines in those donut trays.
But would you give 1 million teenagers to one gun for a year?

I thought it was going to be Tacoma for sure.
I’ve been to this place, ages ago. It was the kind of place you would bring a baby to without a second thought. Crazy that it’s come to this.
What’s crazy is someone saying “It’s somewhere you’d bring a baby to without a second thought” about a fucking shopping mall
I’m not going to argue with you - living as we are car-free now in a walkable city it’s unthinkable for me. But when I was in America, with a car and a baby, it made perfect sense. There were fewer viable third spaces (aside from parks, which is harder for an infant on a rainy day), and just about every viable third space (where we were) was built around car infrastructure.
All that to say you’re not quite wrong, but there’s nuance and the solutions are necessarily political.
Why do they have a statement from the investment firms’s pr department? What does that add to the story? Wgaf what their thoughts are on the matter? It’s really strange.
How sad that this was neither shocking nor surprising and got absolutely no emotional response from me when I read the headline.
This isn’t even the first incident even this week. There is a rash of teen gun violence lately in the Seattle area. https://myeverettnews.com/2024/06/27/three-suspects-arrested-in-everett-after-teen-murder-in-seattle/
The ONLY ONLY ONLY way for this to have been Prevented was if SHE Killed the Gunman FIRST! And the ONLY ONLY ONLY way for HIM to prevent his own death was if he killed HER FIRST! So as a Pro Life Save The Children Republican I see NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER with this!
gUnS dOn’T kIlL pEoPlE, pEoPlE kIlL pEoPlE…
Maybe we need the right to bear people.
Only if they are convicted first, not everyone can own people these days
