School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.

What can be done about online radicalization? Is the FBI still monitoring these groups? www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...
Republicans are failing you.
Congress does not "act" anymore. The Congress and Senate are both on the verge of being seat fillers for photos of the Capitol chambers. The congressional malfeasance people have complained about for decades has turned to impotence in the face of the biggest threat the nation has ever faced.
Right. They are all serving their donors wishes not the people. So, we have no government for the people. It's dead. Maybe a handful, but they have no power. We are living under a government that takes our money & makes the rich richer. Unless we have a revolution it ain't changing.
Okay.
This
There are thousands of children that are yet to die unless you get rid of the guns you fucking idiots...
"Congress must act"....on a lot of things
Any kind of meaningful reform is at least two generations away.
There isn't a single member of the "gop" who doesn't belong in prison. #endthegop
We know that the Republicans will do nothing. Absolutely nothing. 😡
Check out the top 20 Congress Members by NRA contributions to their campaign. Won't surprise anyone that one of the most offensive scoundrels wins by millions. None other than Mexican Holiday, Greek vacay teddy on another Cruise?
say it out loud please.. GUN CONTROL
Yup. Armed protection of schools.
But MAGA won't act. They are beholden to the cult leader and their ignorant followers.
Half of congress left town to protect a pedophile
We just need to offer politicians more money than the NRA offers them. 🤷♀️
They're never going to be as powerful as the NRA. I went to the county fair a few days ago and in the building that had all the booths guess which one was front and center right in front of the door? The NRA
Blah blah blah woulda coulda shoulda skawk Democrats doing endless wars and genocide abroad since Columbine in 1999.
Republicans: The party of death & dying. They've rejected numerous practical, effective & proven strategies to reduce all violence, not just gun violence. The only conclusion one can make about Republicans lack of legislation cooperation, is they are PRO death. Is safety just for white wealth?
Republicans are Murderers. I dare you to come up with an argument to the contrary.
Perhaps consider it as post birth abortion and then see what happens?
As long as we continue to put profits over people, these awful atrocities will continue to occur Profits from selling guns are more valuable than life Corporate wealth is more valuable than health care & housing Capitalism is destroying us! It’s time to put workers first. Fuck this fascist regime
fb.watch/BLsh3bgeHU/ What she said.
What does it say about a society that continually allows children to be shot and killed or injured without any meaningful laws to stop it? We also see pedophiles being protected? Why bring children into this world? To be raped, abused, injured, killed or starved? Who are we?
🎯
America is one sick, corrupt, and dangerous country where no one except the wealthy matter. Children, elderly, LGBTQ+, etc never mattered much and now don’t matter at all. It sucks here.
Maybe the world really did end in 2012 and we’re all in hell.
I think about this sometimes.
It feels like hell at times, and eventually be a hellscape for nearly everyone.
We all died of covid.
Or that. 😕
We are the people who allow this to continue, generation after generation. This is who we are.
And then will go on and say they care about children being shot at or starved over seas and think we are convinced when they don’t even care when those things happen at home
If we only had a working congress that cared about their constituents. Every republican of the 119th congress ceded their power to their dear leader back on January 20, 2025. They should ALL be criminally charged.
Been mourning the lives of all those lost to imperialism since I realized the scam of Amerikkka and capitalism.
If only. 😢😢😢😢
wtf bsky.app/profile/blue...
It’s disgusting that that reporter interviewed a traumatized child. Fuck her
The child's parents or some other adult gave permission before the interview was allowed.
For children it's better for them to vocalize fresh trama, they need the affirmation that they were doing the right thing. Held in it festers and causes many long lasting mental problems.
I think using their trauma, and creating hot news with it does no child any good. It should not be recorded, nor should it be publicized. We are ghouls.
I'm sorry but it should be publicized and shoved in the faces of every gun owner in america. Time for feeling bad for trauma is over. It's not too very long future the children in this country are gonna be soldiers anyway. It's time to stop being pussies and fight back.
We're all traumatized, or will be. We have to learn to process and live with trauma because it is impossible to protect against. This kid CANNOT be protected from it in the America we have made. So maybe their talking about it right after is a good first step. That said, the reporter is a ghoul.
We're all ghouls to some one.
Huh
Human empathy is selective, even with the most loving of us. There will always be somebody left out, and when we ignore or mistreat them, somebody will consider us monsters for it. Example: I speak up on LGBT erasure. I block all accounts on Bsky that appear to be Palestinians begging for money.
Do I seriously have to explain this to you. In other words, there's always gonna be somebody who doesn't like what we do. Jesus christ buy a fucking thesaurus or something.
Who says
Congress hasn’t acted to change things no matter what party has been in power. All past, current and future governments that do nothing have the blood of innocent little children on their hands. The US is a joke and a disgrace when it comes to killing little children. Disgusting.
Evolution of the species is a myth while gun manufacturers and the GOP accept these atrocities as a trade-off for financial or political gain.
It absolutely doesn’t have to be this way.
The GOP protects the guns and not the children. The GOP protects the pedophiles and not the children. I am so sick of Congress doing zero to protect us and our democracy.
You have no right to talk about kids feeling safe when you voted against a bill that would stop the selling of arms to Israel. Who is, in fact, bombing and sniping kids.
Preach my sister Preach 👏 🙏🙏
Congress needs to pass an assault weapon ban to get these “weapons of war” out of the hands of civilians🤷🏻♂️
What’s going to win when RFKJ is done, easily preventable diseases or gun violence? It’s like he and the other republicans are having a contest.
"Congress must XYZ" is becoming the new "Thoughts and Prayers."
They won’t
No disrespect to anyone actually trying, but Congress is clearly not going to act... It's time for anyone who cares, to call for all of us to do whatever we can to change the environment that is nurturing monsters, and turning the otherwise meek, into killers who can't bear their own lives anymore.
And for all of the religious leaders that came out to give thoughts and prayers today, guess what? It isn’t working. Have the guts to call for an assault style weapons ban.
We need a major SHAME campaign. Shame those who support the gun culture, who take away health care, who take food from the needy. Ex. Who supported the right for today’s shooter to purchase his guns? And how will Dems change all that? We’ll show you how! Fair taxation. Support communities. Etc.
If the republican pedophile party can't rape and/or traffick children, they will let them get murdered instead.
They have been doing both for decades... ...and the democratic party has (being very generous) done fuck all about it, even when they had power.
What happened to Biden's gun czar, Beto? Lotsa fanfare then nothing.
Beto isn’t in office. He truly believes in gun reform. So much so, that he blurted out, “yes, we’re taking your guns away,” which cost him the election. He was speaking with a broken heart after El Paso. It takes more than one man to get this done, even a man as passionate as Beto. It takes us all!
Understood. Thank you for filling me in. What happened to all Biden's promises he was going appoint Beto as his gun czar and accomplish some gun control? No question Beto's the real deal. Do you know why Biden dropped the ball on gun control?
To be blunt: because he never picked it up in the first place. Republicans are a death cult and democrats are coward enablers.
Definitely a death cult. I think the Democrats are co-fascists, as well as cowards. The Third Way introduced bipartisan fascism when they created their Reagan replicant Bill Clinton. His administration pushed us closer to Trump than Reagan.
I don’t know any more than most people about gun reform. I just know that after many of these shootings occur, we hear about a violent or mental health history of the shooter that legally purchased a gun(s). I know 18 year olds shouldn’t own an assault rifle - or anyone else for that matter.
I agree. Assault rifles must be treated like handguns, over 21 only, if they allow ownership at all. Too many of the people who buy guns shouldn't have them at all because they have no comprehension that what they've just bought is a deadly weapon, not a toy or cosplay accessory.
Assault rifles were banned once, and when the ban expired, deaths rose more than 100%.
I remember when the ban expired. Several of my coworkers ran out and bought AR-15s pretty much the instant they were available. They were so excited, it was like the second coming of Christ for those dopes.
The Gun Safety Bill in June of 22, addressed domestic violence restrictions to gun ownership, increased background checks and empowered existing red flag laws. He didn’t appoint Beto, but mentioned it in during his campaign. First gun legislation in 30 years.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share this information. Red flag laws are essential, as is ensuring all the moving parts, the communication between various agencies are working. We can prevent so much bloodshed just by enforcing the red flag laws consistently.
No, to great pity and shame, Congress should act to keep kids safe. I recall Obama’s lament after Sandy Hook. He stated that if action was not possible then reform was politically impossible. Obama was tragically correct.
Conservatives will never give up their guns, no matter how many dead children. Conservatives believe in a rigid social hierarchy where children/women/POC/animals are on the bottom rungs. They live to dominate these groups and the best way to achieve that is with guns, big trucks & unlimited sadism.
I hope for more from you than meaningless platitudes. What does "congress must act" f-ing mean? They won't. This post will have NO impact.
Congress has had plenty of time to act. They are more worried about their own power grabs and paychecks than working for the better of this country. Congress abandoned the people.
Congress is full of impotent fools and lackeys🤷🏻♀️
If you are more outraged by Cracker Barrel changing its logo than fill-in-the-blank school shooting...then you are a Republican.
My daughter had a scare today when the police were there in the morning looking for a kid who might potentially be bringing a weapon to school. It’s friggin elementary school.
The number one cause of death among children? Gun violence. And yet we do nothing. But republicans don’t mind banning Books, which don’t kill kids or harm them in any way. All in the name of “saving the children”.
You're right. It doesn't have to be this way. If only some of your colleagues in Congress would abandon their greed and hatred. 💔😕
They won't! The repugnicans will once again say tgatit was the person not the guns. What a total outrage!
Yeah, sure.
Another day, another shooting. Children dead and injured. Why is there never enough white-hot burning rage about this? I don't want to hear Democrats telling us that their "hearts go out..." etc, etc, etc. I want to hear them screaming "ENOUGH OF THIS FUCKING SHIT!!!!" at the top of their lungs.
When you say Congress, it is limited to Democrats. Republicans value money more than children. Way it has been and will not change as long as their bank accounts grow. Interesting they want forced births and then allow the carnage.
And, as kids start the new school year, their National Guard parents are being dragged from home so they can pick up garbage in WA D.C. instead of going to Meet the Teacher night.
Please feel free to introduce gun reform as a bill the first thing you do when you come off your break on Monday, the first of September! When it fails, which it will, after a floor count, publish the name of every member who opposed it!
Christ was in that school/church. Prayers didn't protect them..That is our fucking job.
Sorry, but you choose hate over safety every time.
Is English your 2nd language?
If sandy hook didn't do it, nothing will. Just part of life in 'merica
We’re desperate. 88 children need us, but we lack basics. 3 kids are critically ill with no medication. We’re hungry, exhausted, and feeling abandoned. Please pray and consider helping us. Your support could save lives 🙏💔. Please donate and save lives 🙏😭 gofund.me/5b76fd65
Not until the good folks control the government once again and hold it for more than one or two terms. We need to hold it for 50 years so the fruits of a humanistic society can be realized.
Sandy Hook didn't do it, nothing will.
Please, start with Medicare for All. We can't have a country where the healthcare industry has an adversarial relationship with the people it's meant to help.
I agree
bsky.app/profile/niff...
Isn’t that you? Did you introduce any legislation lately?
You are such a grifting piece of shit.
Introduce gun legislation, until they are sick of seeing it.
Sure. But, most of those people are Republicans, and they seem to like seeing children get killed by guns. If they didn't, they would act. Their inaction demonstrates their complicity
Look who finally woke up. You pathetic clown. Go do something about it. Enough talking from you. You aren't even upset about it, just another easy lazy post and then you forget about the mudered Americans again. The pathetic cycle of doing nothing is tiring Alexandria.
They couldn’t even act to keep their own VP safe. This doesn’t stop until EVERYONE gets up and votes.
Congress never acts. That is the problem.
Well, it's like the Iron dome you sold the IDF, only really tiny bullets instesd of big ones. Gun ownership and radicalism are epidemics in our country. We have people in America treating little kids like they're illegal settlers in Gaza. I wonder what Palestinian children are studying tonight?
Palestinian children, if they are being taught by UNWRA, are learning how to find Jews and kill them. They are probably also learning how to repair tunnels.
Is that while IDF starves their own hostages?
Hamas has lots of food in their tunnels. They won’t share it. They’re saving it for the next genocide on Jews.
Then why are their dogs eating dead people and running out of food? www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...
You are engaging in holocaust denial
You don't need to be taught to hate the people engaged in a holocaust against you. Israeli children have to be taught to dehumanize Palestinians enough to allow this holocaust.
Dmbfk if you kill my family, my neighbors, my teachers, my friends and destroy my home and starve me I would hate you too. It's on sight forever.
This post? Gets the award for the biggest bunch of BS ever. What are you selling? 1000s of women and children slaughtered in Gaza by Israel and you still selling this crap?
Gaza dévastation was planned and executed by Hamas. But thanks for the prize 🏆😀
Nice try tho
Do they hide gold and extra backup Palestinians in those tunnels?
Let's make this really easy. I know how y'all love to make it about something else....tunnels and gold and myrrh and frankincense or whatever. Israel and Bibi have slaughtered 1000's of women and children in Gaza. Got it?
Oh I got it. Thanks for the clarification. According to you Hamas are tulip farmers who were just trying to tend to their bulbs when Israel interrupted them on Oct 7. Ok
That's it? That's your A game? You promote lies and obfuscate the truth about the slaughter of women and children in Gaza with this tripe?
Have a great day. Thanks for the chat. 🌷☀️
Good question
Yeah okay. So riddle me this Batman...Hamas was "practicing" their assault right next door to Israel. And yet, Mossad had no clue? Yeah ok. And about those bags of cash Bibi was giving Hamas? www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/w... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli... theweek.com/politics/why...
Yeah about that....but hey apparently there's a whole industry of gaslighting in Israel theweek.com/politics/why... www.businessinsider.com/israel-secur...
Yeah, right. Ted Cruz will probably get right on that tomorrow.
We don’t have a working Congress
Their response? Ban more books and remove more drag queens. Oh, and of course, thoughts and prayers.
So sickened by another school shooting. I think the dems in congress should introduce gun safety legislation repeatedly to make it obvious that it’s the GOP refusing to move forward with safety measures.
Daily!
You’re joking, right? Introduce legislation? 😂😂😂 They can’t pass a kidney stone, never mind legislation.
The big problem there is that voters don’t pay attention. See: the election reforms, police reforms, etc. that democrats tried to get done but couldn’t get past republican obstruction.
EVERY GODDAMN REPUGNANT who voted against common sense gun reform should be voted the F*CK OUT OF OFFICE!
Unfortunately it’s never going to stop. Too many guns out there now, past the point of no return. The republicans are responsible for the lack of meaningful regulation. Don’t expect anything to change anytime soon.
A mandatory buyback program could work.
Would be nice, but I’m old enough to remember bumper stickers saying “I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands" and, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns”. Wish I could be more optimistic, but the fixation on owning guns has only grown worse with time.
It wouldn't be optional if Congress decides to act. 😁
It worked with drug prohibition. We got rid of drugs. We can do that with guns too.
Apples vs oranges.
Two fruits...?
It means it's a false equivalent.
I guess we will see if adding more laws helps anything. We have plenty of laws now but they apparently don't matter. Just look at Dem leadership saying "Trump can't do that! It's illegal!" every day.
All of this would have to await Krasnov's departure from office, of course.
Are you old enough to remember when assault weapons were banned? I am. The ban survived court challenges. Unfortunately, it expired under its own terms. It could be reenacted (theoretically) in conjunction with a mandatory buyback program (which IMHO would be legal under the 5th Amendment).
drugs are made with renewable resources found in nature. guns are manufactured and require ammo. if guns become rare they become expensive, most people wont be able to afford guns. you know many tweakers who can pull together 5 grand to buy a handgun to rob a gas station?
You can make guns at home just the same as drugs. Both are manufactured. Most drugs on the street now aren't natural, they're manufactured in labs... because of prohibition. Most of these mass shooters can afford the $5k. Tweakers would sell their gun for dope.
You could make a zip gun. You can't make a gun at home that you could use for a mass shooting. Feel free to prove me wrong by doing it.
Why do Dems continue to be polite and say, "CONGRESS needs to do better?" No. REPUBLICANS need to do better. Yes, they'll say Dems are politicizing a tragedy, but they will say that ANYWAY. You think *they'd* be polite if this was Democrats' fault?! FIGHT. Kids are dying.
Congress isn’t going to act. trump isn’t going to act. Republicans are not going to act. It’s getting out and turning the tide in 2026 so decisively that republicans have no recourse. THIS will be the turning point in America, and if we don’t take charge, it’s all over people.
Close down the churches
Trump is too busy deploying National Guard to blue cities to worrying about children dying. Seems to be a leadership trend not caring. Gaza comes to mind.
Trump will protect the gun industry, which donated in 2016 and 2024 elections.
Looks like Trump, his FBI, and Homeland Security can't keep America safe...
Do you know anyone in Congress???
wonder if anyone around here knows a congress person
Might consider less talk more action.
Same question in asking every post I see about this: I wonder if they/them went to that school and was fondled by a priest or two as a kid….. or in fact, in ANY Catholic Church, or School.
A couple of questions no one seems to be asking: What was the perp's deal with writing in Cyrillic (Russian)? Where did they learn to write in that language, and why?
Keep our CHILDREN Safe
Or we could all celebrate by wearing the implement of child slaughter on our lapels
It is becoming and has for a long time that if you are a parent of a school age child that home schooling is the only way you're going to keep your child alive.
They must. But will they?
Ban assault weapons!
Congress can’t even be bothered to exercise its Constitutional authority over the purse strings without ceding them to the whims of the mercurial grifter in the White House. Americans have long since lost faith that a Congress bought and paid for by special interests will save us.
I truly appreciate the few in Congress who honor their oaths. But, I have an 18 year old who voted in her very first election in November, full of hope and optimism, only to be living in a fascist state a mere 9 months later. We have failed our children like no generation of Americans before us.
It does have to be this way. As evidenced by the constant, "it doesn't have to be this way," posts after children are gunned down in their school.
Congress doesn’t do anything except cheat in the stock market and kiss Trumps ass.
It’s so sad that the MAGA representatives won’t give up their NRA $$$$
Hold this to Trump and co's heads! They enabled it!
Republican greed is appalling and downright evil. #NRA #GOP #CashRewards #AssaultWeapons
They never have, they still don't and they will not do it tomorrow. AOC: You know this.👽
I keep seeing politicians posting that "Congress must act". Then....... nothing. It's empty words at this point
Pretty sure you're part of congress
bsky.app/profile/5nar...
they won't...love you AOC
www.sandyhookpromise.org/resources/gu...
And the thing is the constitution has been proven by Trump all to be a bit of paper, that bit of it "right to bear arms" they use so gun's can't be regulated or out right banned. the bit they use every time a gun death happens. that is proven[by Trump] can be thrown away as he did with other bit's.
218 as of Today. The fascists are raging forward. Fascists at all gov't levels. I am being ASKED why I am protesting by TEACHERS!!! They had the summer off, why have they missed what is happening? Please do SOMETHING to save Democracy! youtu.be/O6EzqLPbMt8?...
Hell, they aren't even keeping American Democracy safe. They have allowed many cuts that endanger the lives of children. I don't think they truly give a shit about any American other than themselves. They would have already removed the lunatic if they cared.
Could this be the problem? Do something about this. www.opensecrets.org/industries/l...
Luckily we have genocide funders like yourself to clutch pearls, cry in anguish on social media and do jack shit about it! 🙏🏻🙇🏻♂️🖕🏻
Thoughts and prayers aren't enough Aren't there 3 or 4 of your republican colleagues who see that?
Unfortunately, it’s not he thought that counts anymore.
Keep fighting for reasonable gun laws, AOC! And, just a reminder that Trump repealled the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which might have helped keep guns out of the hands of today's shooter.
🔮👀There’s nothing Congress can do ! No amount of money you throw at this terrible phenomena will make any difference? No amount of prayer or wishful thinking will solve this problem! The political will to tackle the issue of responsible gun ownership still doesn’t exist. Till the next time⚠️?❔❓🙏🏼
Ok, so...act!
Wishing you luck. GOP Congress is way more concerned and distressed about a restaurant logo than the violent murder of our children. I need a dose of hope and don't know where to turn. That boot licking, gag inducing cabinet meeting was more than I could take.
Make it happen

Thanks, Mike “I text my child whenever I masturbate” Johnson.
Those dumbfux
Whose child has to die before congress does something?
Congress's children. More likely grandchildren.
At this point, more likely great grandchildren
The civilised world needs to start treating the US like we treat North Korea and Afghanistan- a failed state with shit human rights and run by a dementia raddled lunatic.
That’s going to take the majority of Congress to decide that guns shouldn’t have more rights than humans. Unfortunately, that isn’t going to happen. Might want to focus your efforts on things that could get passed, like…. Well, maybe just a participation medal this session of Congress then.
Congress doesn’t do shit.
But they won’t and we all know it. If my children were still little, I wouldn’t even send them to school. I would figure out a way to keep them home. Because it’s fine for adults to go out and risk everything, but we don’t have to send our children out to do the same thing.
Thank you for saying this. I am super anti-homeschool but I would do it if my kids were young these days. As it is I'm trying to figure out how to buy vests for the grandkids
Please 🙏🏼 We have failed our children, for what; guns? Guns that only make the weak and ignorant feel powerful. We should be ashamed
bsky.app/profile/rcin...
Congress doesn't do a damn thing unless it's good for them.
These posts are pointless.
The GOP Congress could not care less about dead school children. The same goes for every last person who is still supporting Trump at this point. That's what all of the evidence points to.
All I can get you is cancelling all childhood vaccines, sorry.
It will continue to be this way until the Dems get their crap together and win an overwhelming majority in the house and Senate and start making laws that are good for all of us and not the illiterate pack of idiots currently trying to destroy America. Wake up Dems.
We need to get an assault weapons ban put in place again. We can all point our fingers at the Republican Party for letting the last one lapse.
. "REPUBLICANS" They are to blame, narcissists and sociopaths, big bad bullies, weak and insecure thus the need for a gun to "feel" safe. Republicans will NEVER give up their guns - can't live without them.
It is not going to happen as long as the Republican party is alive!
we still have a Congress?
Republicans need to stop blocking gun reform
And no, they don't get to bring security guards with them.
Just pass a law requiring that all politicians children must attend public school. Problem solved. You're welcome.
what's happening here is a choice. it doesn't have to be this way
There is a reason. Your country loves guns more than children Totally failed society.
we're certainly on our way
Yeah. Congress. The one funded by the NRA? The one that stands at attention for Trump? Don't get your hopes up.
...and we all know they won't. Even if the majority of citizens wants them to.
Republicans care more about the NRA money they get than they care about our kids!
Congress belongs to the criminal child rapist in the Crime House and scotus is his backup!
They don’t do 💩🤬
Republicans are too busy for this, did you hear about that deadly sandwich attack. They are all over that… 🙄
Thank you
But if ugly men with 3cm. dicks and negative IQ couldn't go out and buy machines designed for the specific purpose of killing as many people as possible in as little time as possible, their feelings might be hurt!
Well it couldn't have happened until school started but yeah wondering how many more we get this year. I bet it's more than last year
It doesn’t have to be this way!!!!
It won’t.
But it won't, because greedy, feckless Republicans are in charge, serving their fat, corrupt king.
Womp womp they do nothing. Like always. Don’t you ever get sad doing nothing?
Instead, republicans in congress are choosing to protect pedophiles!
There's probably at least a dozen bills already drafted to that end. Hopefully, someone will dust it off & start pushing in Congress to get it passed. We know the 2A people will scream, but let them. Expose them.
It doesn't have to be this way. But it absolutely will continue to be this way. This country is fucked.
When you get back from vacation maybe you should call your Representative and let them know
It's good you posted this bc I'm positive all she's doing on her break is posting on social media. Ty.
I'm wondering if we Americans can get a 5-week vacation from the bullsh!t. Probably not.
What do you want her to do, call Congress back into session
I thought the whole point of the right to bear arms was that your nation's civilians could fight back against a despotic government? Seems like a waste of time as things stand.
The people that support 2A are just war cosplayers. Deep down they are just cowards hiding behind the threat they pretend to be.
GOP love mass shootings because it keeps people in fear and it’s easier to control them. They don’t give a shit who gets shot as long as it’s not them.
It has been this way. It will continue to be this way. Talk about a shithole country.
They have the SC, Executive and half of Congress. Who will stop them from arresting any Dem governor? The SC? If we’re losing then say it. Let the people know if 100 million won’t drop everything right now and stop this nation from functioning UFN then people should make a plan for what’s to come.
The only way Congress will act is if Republicans are defeated & Democrats get a spine & fire useless @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. #EndGunViolence #RepublicansAreKillingUs #2026MidtermElections #2026Midterms #2026Elections
Sadly nothing is ever going to stop mass shootings as long the NRA & Fox News is in chardge. But God Forbid if Craker Barrel changes the logo, that there Gay's, POC, or Strong Women are in Disney, Star Wars, & Super Hero Movies, or Superman is a immigrant, then things must be change!
Take the power from gun money to politicians. A start.
Repeal the Second Amendment.
I’ve got a really good idea. BAN GUNS!
Seems like a weird time to say that... since there are masked armed government thugs roaming our streets and abducting people.
Their guns should be the first to get banned, then.
Agreed. Once they're disarmed, I'm fully behind a gun ban.
If you want to hunt, use a bow. Get good lol
I may be weird, but I don't want anyone to die. I just ALSO don't want to live in a fascist nation.
I fully agree. Well, I may prioritize not living in a fascist nation over the first part though because the fascist nation will kill people. (And does)
“Hey they, what do you propose for when a shooter barricades doors to trap people inside and shoots them through the windows like they’re sitting ducks?” They - 🤷♂️
Its unbearable to hear, especially if children are concerned. Its not that complicated. Less guns means less killings.
You believe the problem created by framers can be solved by the abomination this government has devolved to? ‘Congress must act.’ Are You serious?. There’s no path there; you knew it as you typed it. Indirect democracy doesn’t work with an educated population. The people will fix this, not you.
More empty words...
Alexandria please read this post. The insurance companies might like this business.
I keep hearing “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Ok, if people are the problem, why do we let our biggest problem have guns?
Your guns kill my fellow citizens, I am Canadian, as they cross the boarder illegally. Your bombs kill children in Gaza, in Iran, in Iraq, the list goes on and on. The United States is a terrorist state. The world should shun the United States.
This is the reaction of the world when there is a school shooting in the US. YAWN!!! Change your effin gun laws.
Hi Alexandria the only way is to ban all assault weapons.
What constitutes an assault weapon?
A automatic weapon just pull the trigger It continues to fire until you let go of the trigger 🫣
Ok so not an AR-15? Machine guns are already very difficult to acquire and they're useless for anything other than cover fire... especially if you're skinny like me. Lol they're like holding a fire hose alone.
any semi-auto / automatic short to medium barreled rifle capable of using expansive magazines and a variety of attachments. nobody on the planet outside the military needs a magazine capable of holding 30+ rounds. if you cant defend yourself with 5 rounds per mag you shouldnt be using a gun.
Semi auto is most guns but yeah, nobody needs a magazine that big. That's just silly. The whole point of a magazine is to swap them out quickly.
Yeah there guns of war, not for hunting.
Vote out any representative not supporting reform of our gun laws starting with restrictions on ownership by unstable individuals, mandatory background checks associated with annual licensure, and mandatory bans on assault weapons to start.
I eagerly await the link to the PDF file of the bill that you are proposing that will fix this problem.
You didn’t act when babies were killed and all the other mass shootings. Why should anyone expect America to do anything differently now?. America is a failed state and we are just seeing you for what you’re REALLY are for the first time. Awful place, which no sensible person would want to visit.
The President is more concerned with Cracker Barrel right now
@aoc.bsky.social 💯🎯💙 How much more gun violence/deaths of students, etc before politicians make gun policy changes? Thoughts/prayers isn't the solution "protect gun rights" & "we need more guns" is BS🖕🤬🖕 Students & faculty should return home to their families & not fear getting killed at school😢
Constitutional amendment! Re corporate (super duper) personhood) and big money in politics. It’s needed. And not impossible. Not really left or right but rather 99% versus 1%.
I know it's a constitutional amendment & yes, big dark money in politics; however, we desperately need solutions that help reduce gun violence (keeping schools safe, etc) Something's gotta give, and you're 💯🎯 this is not a left/right matter
It really does. And I expect a whole to give.
I'm dismayed at people who say Americans will never accept limits on their 'rights' to own guns, but I would love to see Dems offer gun control as an option to see who would vote for it. The depth of sadness for these senseless tragedies is horrible to watch.
