Correct me if I’m wrong, but no elected official - including the Governor - has said anything in response to the Lexington gun killings except Thoughts and Prayers. There is something that can be done. But it takes courage. So, I‘m not surprised.

When firearm silencers are given preferential treatment in the so-called “Big Beautiful Budget” Law, and not hungry children or the disabled, we’ve jumped the Rubicon.

Steve Gangi - AA6LJ @stevegangi.bsky.social

Correct! Because we need silencers to hunt or go target shooting, or for home defense??? Like we need full auto and "bump"stocks? Uhhhh I don't see it. The only ones who "need" that junk are hit men and terrorists.

Get ear plugs or ear muffs then. That's what I've always used, ever since Basic Training. For everything from .22 and 5.56mm, on up.

Yeah, you're still hurting your hearing. They're literally just mufflers for guns. As you can see this man has hearing protection and a silencer and it's still loud

SOME PEOPLE MAY USE THAT EXPRESSION BECAUSE THEY ARE SINCERE. HOWEVER, I ALSO THINK THAT SUCH PEOPLE SHOULD FOLLOW UP SUCH THOUGHTS WITH POSITIVE ACTIONS INCLUDING HELPING WITH PAYING FOR THE COSTS OF THE FUNERALS AND NEW, UNEXPECTED MEDICAL BILLS. "THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS" SHOULD BE A START.

It’s up to us to work locally to restart this conversation. We the people must demand enforceable firearm controls. Japan has strong and enforceable laws. We should learn from them. I have guns. I also know we need common sense legislation. Why does an every day person need automatic weapons?

In 1960 the average life expectancy for an American male was 66 years. In 2025 it is 78 and approaching 79. This is mostly because of Science and Vaccines.

Yesterday. Old Richmond Road in Lexington. It started near the airport when a state trooper pulled him over. He shot the trooper and then fled the scene to the church. He then opened fire on the churchgoers
