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.

Thoughts and prayers means, I don't give a fuck.
💯💯💯
As I like to say: "Thoughts and prayers. It's the least you can do, literally."
Going out of their way to say it.
What happened in Lexington (Ky)?!
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.
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.
That makes no sense at all. Seeing how you need to be fingerprinted to buy a silencer 😂
So why would you need one? Are you a hit man?
So I don't lose my hearing 😂 You need to quit watching TV
Answer the question -- WHY would you need a silencer or bump stock, or any of that nonsense?
I did. "So i don't lose my hearing" Also you can admit you're uneducated on the topic
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
You got me there - My hearing is FUCKED. The high frequency hearing is just gone (the old "I hear fine as long as there's no background noise") . So, you may have a point after all.
Amazing how nobody can say, “We should be doing everything we can to protect women and their families from their abusive partners.”
Courage and a moral compass
What killings?
Andy has spoken out many times about gun violence. Just because he didn’t take this particular opportunity to speak out is completely appropriate and you’re kind of an ass.
It's just another day in #America.
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.
...and it's not going to happen in KENTUCKY of all places either
He can only sign what comes across his table. This sits with the supermajority, not the Governor
They've all but given up, not suprised either
Given up??? Would that not imply that at least some tried at some point???
Yeah, you’re right
@andybeshearky.bsky.social did speak about it. It's how I heard about it. Like 20 minutes after it happened.
The ‘Governor’ is waaaayyyy more interested in his 2028 run for president. Which he will not even come close to winning. smgdh
Beshear made a statement. When asked about preventing future gun violence, Beshear advocated for "reasonable nonpartisan steps to make ourselves safer," specifically mentioning more gun locks and a red flag law. www.lex18.com/news/coverin...
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?
It was a rw extremist to boot
I’m not sure courage is Beshear’s strong suit. I’d so like to be wrong about that.
Google him. He has taken to the podium several times regarding this murder spree. Beshear looks out for Kentucky, unlike our other reps.
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.
If the only thing a politician can do is offer up thoughts and prayers, they need to be shown the gate.
😞
I have barely even heard about it. When did this happen?
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
Sounds like the typical MAGA criminal.
Gun money 💰 not people matter 🤬
He will when the time is right. Governor Andy is a compassionate person who cares about all the citizens of Kentucky.
What can the governor actually do that would get through the state house? If we stop electing so many republicans there are common sense things that can be done to make us all safer from gun violence. I voted straight blue ticket.
courage and the will to change in scarce supply from coast to coast
Democrats are domestic terrorists
Pro life Party: Ignore mass gun deaths, child trafficking and porn, covering up alleged child abusers, white supremacy, family separation, kids in cages and defunding schools. Can we stop perpetuating this fraud now?
