Today's mass shooter in Manhattan used an M4 assault rifle much like the pins Republican congressmen/women proudly wear in the Senate and House. The shooter, 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura “has a documented mental health history,” said New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch.
I'm curious about the shooter's lapel pin.
We live in the .ass shooting capital in the world.
I meant "citizens outside the military"
Appropriate! Heartbreaking cuz it's so true, and with the way things are heading in America it is going to get worse.
If ONLY!!
Las Vegas you can't get CC permit it you are declared mentally incompetent or admitted to a mental health facility in the last 5 years. wtf is "mental health history"? had a prescription for antidepressants in the past? 🙄
"Mental health history? Sounds like someone failed the 'can resist knocking stuff off tables' test. I got banned from the mafia for napping too much, same vibe."
Pfft, humans and their rules. If napping 20 hours a day disqualified you, I'd never get a permit. Pass the tuna.
Most of the people committing crimes - let alone those that get caught - don’t have mental health histories. This shit gets put on blast every time it happens because authoritarians know how to play manchildren like a fiddle. Way to go, fiddle.
Blackrock - the centerfuge of obscene weath inequality in the US. I'd say the guy had a moment of clarity
What about yesterday's? And tomorrow's? Canada also has quite a few guns. Why is the culture so different?
I’ve never even heard of this type of gun. My word…
Wonder if any 'journalist' will have the ovaries to ask a R wearing one if they condone what happened in NYC, seeing as they are wearing it on their virtual coat.
In 2017 one of the very first things Trump did was to rescind an Obama era rule blocking gun sales to mentally ill individuals. No one should be the least bit surprised this continues to happen here. It’s the @GOP way, they’re beholden to the gun lobbyists.
You mean the rule that the ACLU and 23 disability advocacy groups opposed? Do you think someone with an eating disorder should be denied their Constitutional rights?
The National Alliance of Mental Illness have accused the Trump of rolling back Obama-era policies designed to help the mentally ill. "In the U.S., it is easier to get a gun than it is to get mental health," said Angela Kimball, NAMI's acting CEO!
Instead of applauding an effort to curb gun violence, why didn’t they suggest a better way to keep the mentally ill that have documented violent tendencies away from guns? Also,suicide is the second leading cause of death among people with anorexia so maybe they shouldn’t have a gun….
Your quote is from 2019. Can you tell me what Biden did to address the mental health crisis? 90% of people with anorexia are women. Suicide by gun is rare among women. What if they have a stalker or a deranged ex-boyfriend? Should someone with anorexia not be allowed to defend themselves?
Biden was good but he wasn’t a magician.I’m sorry he couldn’t solve all the shit trump&other Republicans fked up!You didn’t answer my question. If Obama’s plan didn’t work,why not propose something more efficient instead of gutting it? Instead,this is what DJT does! today.westlaw.com/Document/I77...
Biden did this! www.ajmc.com/view/biden-h...
And what does Trump do?? www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/ove...
I'm a great fan of the Barrett M82, as a piece of technology. However, I'm grateful I live somewhere where I can't own one. Nobody else can, so I don't have to worry about being shot. Guess what - I don't feel any less free. In fact, I like freedom from the fear of getting shot very much.
I definitely miss that feeling, Paul, the feeling of freedom living in a society that isn't armed.
Thanks to Trumpushka severe mental illness would not prevent him from getting a gun.
National assault weapon Ban now Tamara hadMental health issues and able to buy assault weapon Assault weapons are designed for war as the name defines. Design purpose to kill multiple unarmed people Not for protection Not for hunting gun makers make a large profit without assault weapons sales.
I am done trying to figure out how to get the NRA out of our gun laws. Rather, to anyone who wants to commit mass murder, I implore you to focus your attention on those who actually fucked up your life. Pro tip: They probably have security. P.G.
I thought they were supposed to turn these things into plows, what bible does the Maga wackier read.
Gun pins worn by repubelicKKKan congressMEN make me P.U.K.E. PUKE!
Too bad Trump rolled back Obama's efforts to keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill people. Any efforts Dems have made to curb assault weapon deaths have been blocked. How many more gun deaths, frequently children, do we have to endure?
But he still has his 2nd amendment rights 🤪. Republicans are destroying this country.
So gross.
Who gave this guy a gun?
Republicans.
Yes, they did. Because they only care about gun manufacturers’ profits and not about people.
. Several other weapons and ammunition were found in the perpetrator's vehicle. And yes, there was a documented mental health history . . . The Republicans have no problem with the issue ! Manhattan Shooting 💠 😔 💠
www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncn...
Documented mental health history and still managed to buy multiple guns and work as a security guard!
The NRA and Republicans fought hard to prevent a law that would have barred people with mental health problems from owning guns - bc well even people with mental health problems should own guns (or at least that is the twisted sick logic…)
40000+ people die from guns in the USA per year. Adjusted for population, the UK equivalent gun deaths would be 134 per year. Uk police don’t routinely carry guns because they don’t need to. You can say it’s people that kill, not guns all you like, but remove the guns and it all stops.
I’m guessing he was white and his parents thought a long gun Would help them bond at the gun range. But this is not the time to discuss article two.
The shooter, 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura “has a documented mental health history,” said New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch. So you're saying he was a Republican.
The Founders never intended to create an unregulated individual right to a gun. Today, millions believe they did. Here’s how it happened.
Will the US low-IQ, mostly male demographic, ever grow out of its toy-gun obsession when the manufacturers have every incentive to continue pumping out these unnecessary impediments to a normal, civil society?
This is the shooter's rifle still filled with blood. Every Republican that wears that pin should be given this photo. It should be pinned on them.
Stapled to their foreheads.
👍
And the photo next month when the officer’s third child is born. 💙
I just read about that a few minutes ago and still have tears in my eyes. Just devastating.
We're having a fascist takeover of our government with the first camp already built and people being disappeared. I'll keep my AR-15 tyvm.
Another "documented health history" It's always the standard go to instead of "My god, this has to stop. We have to stop making this so easy in our country."
Any excuse to intensify authoritarianism by stoking irrational fears that are all displaced onto “no no them crazy not you”
The American right won the gun debate yrs ago... Americans keep putting them in charge.
According to the NYPost: The exact details of his mental health are unclear.
Why these guns are legal in America for citizens is horrible!
Congratulations stupid gqp. Another shooting another pin.
I'm not sure I didn't know any adults who don't have a documented mental health history, especially post covid. And if there are, they're probably ones who needed evaluations most, knew it, and avoided it.
Well, the US isn’t really known for their great mental healthcare system
We are definitely not 😭
Guns, USA history & brutal USA economy that takes $$ from underpaid & price-gouged 99% to fund the richest 1% result in USA having shortest life expectancy among peer nations.
M4 style or an actual M4?
Pin M-4 replicas PROUDLY worn by #GOP reps. Great observation 👍🏾 (& yes, AR-15. Stop typing, if any Trumpers out there:(
