Turning schools into prisons isn’t the solution.
Turning schools into prisons isn’t the solution.
The Minnesota shooter shot from outside. Likewise with the CDC shooter who fired 500 rounds.
Well with high power military style riffles today you can take out your target at a distance
The point you are too dense to get is metal detectors at schools won’t make a difference.
Actually I obvious get that metal dictectors are the problem because the US sells high power rifles that can be fired fro the outside, I think you have me confused with someone else you are debating
This latest nutjob fired through windows. A metal detector wouldn't have stopped them.
Didn't he fire through a window?
What are the metal detectors for, if not to detect guns?
Came to say this. Thank you.
This is such a good fkin point. Republicans are always almost at the point, they just can’t quite make the connection.
Whaddya need metal detectors for if guns aren’t the problem Sean? You have become the human thumb of stupidity. Shut your blasphemous pie hole for a while and give us all the break from you we deserve.
Who knew that alternative facts was only an entry drug into alternative universes?
Metal detectors don't work when the shooter shoots through windows outside. Are they even paying attention?
If they were, they wouldn't spout such nonsense.
And it was a church, not a school. We’re not safe anywhere.
Yeah, but they really don't care. Like guys, please, stop believing anything any of these people tell you they value. Republicans have zero morals or values, they simply have social trends. Words mean nothing, because they know they will never face consequences for being hypocrites
It has always seemed to me that there's a huge choke point in front of the metal detectors (at a school, airport, concert, wherever) and if someone was hell bent on causing destruction they wouldn't even need to go in. Just show up when people arrive and wait in line.
There's been a number of school shootings that took place outwith the building. Also people who want to shoot a bunch of people will find a way to get round any barriers you put up. Take away the means of arming themselves would make it almost impossible for them to carry out a mass killing
Metal detectors also don’t stop people with guns from walking through them. Most shooters just start shooting once they’re on the property. And the cops won’t intervene! They just wait outside until he’s out of bullets or un-alived himself. People like Hannity don’t care until it happens to them.
Metal detectors don't work when the shooter walks through them and drowns out the beep with gunfire!
Next the Republicans will ban windows on school buildings!
Then kids can't climb out them when one of the nutters shoots the security guard and gets inside.
My high school didn't have windows, except at the main entrance. It was 1968. It felt claustrophobic.
nah, they will ban schools, education is the real problem obviously, having people think about solutions they don't want to hear about is a problem
The GOP has kept the base purposefully uneducated for decades because they are easier to manipulate and control. It's all part of the nearly 50 years of the GOP psyops on the base to get us exactly here. Destroying the DOE is part of P2025 and it's the only plan they are using.
You joke, but this is where we are headed. Also, Billy. It shows invalid domain on your BlueSky Handle. Here is a link to how to fix that. bsky.social/about/blog/4...
pretty sure I am not joking, an educated populace is harder to control than one that believes in the sky daddy, and that their country is the only country that has freedom, and they they are #1 at everything even though they can't find their own country on a map
Exactly. This is why trump is attacking universities, museums and institutions. Most trump supporters are incredibly dumb or incredibly rich.
We're cooked as a nation aren't we?
Yes we can!
No, we are not cooked as a nation until we give it up ourselves. Don't do that. It's still up for grabs.
Its not my nation, but if I were being honest the USA has been in the frying pan for a long time now, and I see similar signs in other developed western nations. We all made a wrong turn in the 80s I think and those chickens are coming home to roost now
Sadly we’re still the most educated general populace in human history. We just also have free access to to the most powerful personal firearms in history, and as a society we aren’t really reckoning with that very well.
Like, in the 1600’s maybe five guys in your hamlet could afford a musket, and if they went out of control one day there was a good chance they’d miss and be subdued in the 3 minutes it took to reload In the last few decades, basically everyone can get a credit card and buy an AR-15. It’s a problem
there goes the lie again, USA #1 is the easiest lie of them all to debunk
list doesn't even include your country billy
According to your graph it looks like the US has the most educated people with India coming in second. But, we do have more than our share if idiots.
No we aren't. We rank low in nearly every educational metric internationally. The GOP has kept the base purposefully uneducated for decades because they are easier to manipulate and control. The average American IQ is only 98.
I would have to question the educated part. Europe is much better educated than the common Joe in America. It’s astounding how poor education has become.
I beg pardon, I meant that globally, not nationally.
We don’t have a great quality of education. We should get rid of summer vacation in favor of shorter school days & more vacation time and add more career and activity focused courses to improve mental health and standards for kids and to help low income families with child care.
Why do you think other developed western nations are accepting the rise of political groups that align with Trumps policies and rhetoric? Do the people in other countries not see how it’s ruining America and lowering our quality of life?
Because all these groups have the same message: Immigrants are freeloading off your tax money. Immigrants are taking your jobs. Immigrants are violent criminals. Hate immigrants. Elect us to get rid of immigrants. Our country is for natives only! Us First!
It’s fascinating how throughout history, people gain power by uniting against weaker groups of people that aren’t a threat. It’s that bully mentality. “See what I did to those people? You could be next so join me or wait until I come for you.”
It’s all about the influx of migrants and refugees from Africa and the Middle East. Their socialized systems are under great stress and the lack of assimilation creates hostility. A problem as old as humans. Ask the Neanderthals.
We used to try and stop illegal immigration by providing aid to impoverished countries to help them better the quality of life for their people so that they wouldn’t want to come here. I was proud to say I am an American when we were passionate about helping the world. Those ways are gone.
If they think america is the BEST they will never leave the country and learn that it is in fact NOT the best. If they never leave or get a good education they won’t question what little they have so they will keep voting MAGA, and be compliant enough to accept a low quality of life.
That’s right!! People who think critically can see thru their lies and BS and it ain’t that hard. Blows my mind we have this many stupid people in the US.
They already tried to ban doors. Morons.
They don’t even try to think on Fox, newsmax, or OAN anymore. They know their audience is full of brainwashed morons that won’t question what they say.
Hannity shld have to share that in a face-to-face with the parents of the children shot.
The shooter couldn't get into the church because their doors were locked once the service stated so this blows up the right wing talking point. It's why the shooter shot through the windows and look how much destruction he still did without getting into the church.
The human brain continues to develop until the mid-20’s. Especially the area responsible for impulse control and decision making. Why would anyone under the age of 25 be allowed a gun?
if these things were preventable, we would prevent them, but we don't, and that's on us, and the assholes that govern us, and the assholes like Hannity
I'm too european for this...
All schools I am aware of have been controlling entry 10 to 15 years.
Would those children be dead if there weren’t guns? Answer: NO
Technically the answer is maybe
They wouldn’t be shot that’s for sure
Actually it's not lol sad, fact
The Minneapolis shooter wasn’t even in the building so metal detectors wouldn’t have stopped it.
He wasn't even in the freakin' building you idiot. He shot through the windows.
We need metal windows
Australia No teachers with guns No police or guards in schools Similar rate of mental health issues And we have trans kids too! Amazingly NO SCHOOL SHOOTINGS! None, nada, zip, zilch How can this possibly be? Oh, that’s right, we dont have guns everywhere! Its the freakin guns! Duh!
The Minneapolis shooting happened in the church. The kids were attending weekly mass.
Has anyone told hanity that shootings occur in places other than schools!? With his logic, we’ll just have metal detectors at any and all public locations. Got it
And what good does a metal detector do? Lets you know you are about to be shot soon?
The church shooter was OUTSIDE Hannity! Duh. He's such an idiot. I'm getting so angry that I'm shouting in every post I've made in the last 10 minutes.
Actually, I blame Hannity and his copropagandists for spewing the malicious lies that have served to engender a culture of murder and the politics of ignorance and stupidity that blocks sane gun regulation. This is Hannity's Insanity.
Schools with armed guards have 2x the dead of schools without! By the numbers! Then GOP ordered CDC and ATF to no longer keep the numbers! To hide it! Billions $ to harden schools, train staff and students! Follow the $
HOW ABOUT FREE LOBOTOMIES FOR FOX NEWS HOSTS?
I think they’ve already had one done.
He needs to go on an extended vacation to visit with his buddy Rush L !
That thar is a hole that needs pie, yesirree
And to the point he thinks he's making, if it's not the guns then why bother with metal detectors? Everyone should carry guns 24/7 according to them. What they should be detecting is mental health, a stable home, food, etc. But they don't give a shit about those things.
At this point, watching game footage with an angry coach might be the only way to connect the dots. Even then I have doubts.
They shot from the outside through the windows of a church. Metal detectors, obviously, would be useless. Next thing he’ll be suggesting is windowless schools and churches. What an absolute moron.
How does a metal detector protect them when they go outside to play on the school play ground? Does the metal detector follow them when they go on a field trip? Republicans are disgusting. They don't give a flying fuck about the safety of your children. They only care about that $$ from the NRA!!
They are all about control, except for the control that would make a difference. People with guns kill people.
Fortified entries, armed teachers, active shooter drills, thoughts and prayers. REPUBLICANS, you are SICK.
Let's start blaming Hannity and Fox Lies, then. These murderers are watching Fox Lies, $787 million says I'm right
Columbine had armed officers who engaged the shooters. It didn't stop them.
This guy needs to start a manufacturing company that can build portable metal detectors. That way people can protect themselves with a metal detector to scare away a deranged psycho with an assault-type weapon. Hoping people tune into my sarcasm.
"Rush" to blame the guns after 25 years of this?
The right's argumentation works only for people who know little about Europe and Australia. "Only" might be the wrong word, though, as that's the majority in the USA
The gunman didn't enter the school. They shoot thru the windows of the church. Should we put metal detectors outside of windows too? Gun nuts are horrible people
Hannity is a brainless asshole with his head up trump’s butt.
Our children should not have to worry about being shot at school. We already do what we can to make our schools as safe as we can. We also identify children who need help mentally. Hopefully by doing these things and restricting access to guns we can help keep the kids safe.
Hannity knows it's the guns. They all do. They just don't care. Oh, and see below for what Hannity looks like after staring at himself in the mirror and saying "it's not the guns."
Not trying to blame guns, but the body count per 100,000 is exactly 10 times higher than in my country, the Netherlands. If it’s not about guns but about mental health then apparently Americans are ten times crazier than us.
You nailed it
3d printers can make guns out of plastics that fool every metal detector.
What if, and I'm just spitballing here, they start shooting before they get to the metal detector?
The conservative Christians used the opportunity to say that "policy should control the entry of kids into school". This is not an accident. Imagine loving guns more than children. They are so sick in the head and in their souls.
Wasn’t the gunman was outside the school shooting through the windows?
What's sad and pathetic is this man and his lame suggestions for stopping school shootings.
Wait…was it metal detectors in every other nation in the world that isn’t experiencing a child gun-specific shooting epidemic the reason?
I bet taking fox off the air would save way more lives than metal detectors. And it's cheaper.
if they want to use metal detectors to stop guns from getting into the schools, they're saying it *is guns.
I'm not tired of posting this, as long as children are dying it will be relevant
Or in other words, let’s control and manage the 2,000 kids plus staff rather than the one insane person, because we don’t want to cause any inconvenience to that one insane person, even tho’ he WILL be eventually shot dead. It’s how we like to do it. Smart. Impressive.
I think you're wrong, George. It's the thoughts & prayers. Everytime they think and pray, another school shooting happens. Clearly correlation is causation. No, just kidding. #itstheguns
It's crazy how the political Reich thinks making everllace people congregate into a fortress is somehow "normal."
Asked my kids years ago what is the first thing they notice when they go into a room..."How to get out fast in case of someone coming in with a gun". That was in 2010. It has only gotten worse.
Are there metal detectors at Fox, & Newsmax?
My old high school now has metal detectors, surveillance systems, and security personnel...in a small town in a state whose "leaders" (relatively recently) decided that most firearm permits and restrictions were no longer necessary to purchase, register, or carry lethal weapons in public spaces.
"Public Safety" in the US is now more of an illusion than it was BEFORE modern gun laws were a thing. This does NOT mean that we need LESS restrictions on their presence and availability. That sort of mentality is both illogical AND absolutely insane.
If all the victims were shot, one has to conclude that IT WAS THE FUCKING GUNS.
Hannity knows it’s guns. He doesn’t care. He’d rather reinforce the right’s lies than save children’s lives.
These people ever been to a school at the beginning of the day? Maybe we should just have a TSA style entrance at a school. Of course, students will have to line up for hours to get in. Oh the fun they’ll have with that 🤦♀️
See, here's where I have a problem, bc its BOTH gun control AND mental health that is a problem, and Republicans statistically refuse to do shit about either, but will happily blame the not guns part. People see violence as their only option when you rip every other one away, especially healthcare.
I want to know who installed the metal plate in his head.
So the metal detectors are to detect what? Mental health issues?
We should just have metal detectors in every building everywhere because we all should have the right to always have a gun everywhere. Ok what about the buffalo shooting in a grocery store or this shooting in a church? It’s mental health and access to guns. Not metal detectors.
Remember when #Democrats had majorities in Congress and could pass laws against freeze peach? ...good times
How would having a metal detector have stopped a gunman from firing through a window OUTSIDE the building? FFS 🤦♂️
They shot through the windows… BREAKING: Hannity calls for no windows in schools to prevent school shootings.
Hannity is sad and pathetic.
My old highschool did this….still snuck in knives and a hollowed out grenade….(history class)
It’s more than just guns. Unconsciously it’s now taught as conflict resolution. It’s a mentality that goes along with the guns. 🇨🇦 have guns but we have a very different approach to them. The safety and mentality needs to change.
If it isn't the GUNS, then what will these metal detectors by trying to detect?
Clueless bunch, it’s a shame
Republicans are just assholes
Look at them try and make guns the victim…it’s sick.
Shooter was outside asshole
This idiot doesn’t grasp that many schools have metal detectors How is that going to stop somebody within intent to kill? The guard or a school police officer will be the first one shot These motherfuckers would rather have children killed then provide a framework for acceptable gun control
What framework for gun control would stop this?
Facts 🙏⚖️
Considering those children were praying when they got shot, “thoughts and prayers” seems like an insult right now.
Maybe stop praying and acting..
Infinity. There is nothing anywhere that is listening. There never has been. There never will be.
Bet you Hannity has shares in a metal detector company
Proving Rowan and Martin Right!
FFS. Just. Remove. The. GUNS!
The guy who shot up theCDC in Atlanta stood outside the building and shot! Nothing can stop an AR from shooting people! It was designed for war!
RepubliKKKans will sadly always chose guns over the lives of the children they want to rape.
You need a Gun and a Lunatic for a Mass Shooting ! It Takes Two to Bango !
This shooting took place from outside the building. Fox will continue doing Fox. The dishonesty shames journalism and shames American "culture."
And schools shouldn’t have metal detectors in the first place. But the right will never give up gun control.
America's downfall: left v right; Republicans v Democrats; commonsense v stupidity; Christianity v everything
What are the metal detectors meant to detect, Sean?
The silencers the Republicans wanted to sneak in their Big Awful Bill certainly would add to the death count.
Hannity, you soulless SOB! Schools do NOT need metal detectors, armed teachers, roving squads of NavySeals providing protection. It's a damn school! We have security because we, as a nation, have failed to address the real problem! It's the guns, stupid!
Someone needs to ask Sean Hannity what should we blame. Should we blame knives and sticks. Sean HANNITY NEEDS TO STHFU
Hannity knows everything about sad and pathetic
He is beyond an embarrassment. They didn’t come into a school. It was a church. And they blew out the windows with tons of lead from their assault weapon.
So the guy shoots them through the school windows and the squawking head on TV wants metal detectors for all those who enter the building.
You mean control the perimeter like the SS did in Pennsylvania?
The dumbass, a bullet isn't going to stop for a metal detector.
Oh really? You have the most violent country on the planet with 20,000 plus gun deaths a year! Do you have any sense?
This shooter shot from the street through the windows of the church…what say you Hannity about that? Always excuses but never the guns at fault.
If it’s not the guns, then what are the metal detectors for?
What a fucking idiot he is. No other way to say it. Doesn’t he (and his ilk) know that only people build houses - BUT a HOUSE CANT BE BUILT WITHOUT A HAMMER. Get rid of the hammer - no house. Get rid of the guns, no shooting deaths.
bsky.app/profile/niff...
Maybe this is why RFK Jr is gutting US vaccination programs? The NRA would be very relieved if preventable illnesses overtook gun crime as the leading cause of US child mortality.
You must self report you gun before you do a shooting
Talk about sad and PATHETIC, they don't even stop and listen to their own NONSENSE. The shooter shot thru the windows, never even entered the building, a church! What was a metal detector going to accomplish? IMBECILES!!
I wonder if he is on the Epstein list
they will never understand this @georgetakei.bsky.social
They have been "Not blaming guns" for decades now, how's that working out?
These fucking people are so entrenched they will never EVER say anything about the fact there are more guns than people in 'Merkuh. It's the GUNS. IT'S THE GUNS. IT'S THE FUCKING GUNS.
Hannity is what's "sad and pathetic."
We don't have metal detectors at schools here in aus. We don't have armed guards. We don't have active shooter drills. And we don't have mass shootings, because we don't have automatic weapons readily available to anyone.
Sounds very similar to Scotland....I wonder if there is some common factor in both countries 🤔
his mouth was in that position at the last NRA meeting
Doe helmet hair realize this was a church?
He doesn't care.
Guns aren’t the problem - but we need to metal detectors to prevent guns in schools ….. that aren’t the problem?
He's sad and pathetic but that's been said millions of times and he's still blathering on with his bullshit.
They were reportedly shooting through a window. Hannity's a f**ked up asshole and a shameless propagandist. BTW, Sean, could you tell us what your tax breaks have been for the last 7 years? Pat peeve: If FOX is just an entertainment outlet should "FOX News" ever appear in their chyrons? #Epstein
It’s the guns, it’s the guns, it’s the guns, infinity.
Just put a Marine in every classroom. Hell, the Marines might even learn something. Win/win.
The left blames the easy access to guns. The right blames schools, students, society, the water making frogs gay, etc. Basically everything that isn't a gun.
Jesus Christ, Hannity is an idiot, but a dangerous idiot because a lot of other idiots follow him. The real reason we have so much gun violence is because we have so many guns. I haven't read of anyone using his AR-15 to stop an attack of roving bandits, but it's the mentality of the country.
Don´t let the far right have access to guns and the problem is over
Sean Hannity is very good at what he does and very bad for America.
Why would you need metal detectors and perimeter controls if the problem wasn't guns? Our schools should not resemble military installations.
Australia No teachers with guns No police or guards in schools Similar rate of mental health issues And we have trans kids too! Amazingly NO SCHOOL SHOOTINGS! None, nada, zip, zilch How can this possibly be? Oh, that’s right, we dont have guns everywhere! Its the freakin guns! Duh!
Guns plus a population primed for violent outbursts. Our men are taught that the only acceptable emotions are stoic glare and anger. When Depression takes them, it tends to get transmuted to anger Most just beat their wife, beat their kid, or harass coworkers. Shooters are that same impulse.
Libby Roderick: "When you treat little boys like G. I. Joe and give the he-men and folk heroes, don't complain about the violence 'cause heaven knows, you'll be getting it a whole lot more."
Hulk heroes, not folk.
"And if you treat little girls like Barbie dolls And sell 'em their dreams in shopping malls, well sooner or later they'll climb the walls And start looking for a whole lot more."
The hospital I work at - a children’s hospital - recently installed metal detectors we all must pass through on the way to every shift. IT’S A CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL!!!
He shot them through the church windows. The answer is not to bullet proof every scenario when the real solution is to stop people accessing assault rifles.
Sad and pathetic is the perfect description of MAGA
Anybody with half a brain cell knows this … oh … wait … 🤨🥴
They won’t even fund school lunches which costs way less but they are going to fund metal detectors and the proper personnel to man them and to patrol the perimeter? We are going to turn every school in the country into a fortress? Anything but dealing with the actual problems.
We don't want to live in a country that has to have armed perimeters around every school.
Even schools with armed officers on sight have been shot up. It's security theatre, not security, and we have the data to show it.
What about the school busses?
Metal detectors don't detect crazy people. They detect metal objects and alert when the mass meets or surpasses a certain threshold. So, what Hannity proposes is identifying GUNS. That is the sole indicator of a threat, because you don't know anything else about the person being screened.
THEN he says the rush to blame GUNS is sad and pathetic. He's just a freewheeling bullshitter who counts on an audience incapable of independent thought. He'll say anything to confirm their bias because there's lots of money in it. Hannity is not stupid, he simply has no use for the truth.
Si true
Mr CalHannity clearly doesn't hear how crazy he sounds to EVERYBODY else in the world when he says such stupid things 🤔
Hey dumb fuck Hannity, the democrats have to blame the guns especially semi automatic rifles because the republicans won’t say anything because they want the money from the gun lobbyist and support from the NRA
"These are preventable!" *MAGA Rage Rising* "Put metal detectors and armed guards everywhere!" *MAGA Rage Fading*
Funny how other countries can do without 1.3 guns per person floating around.
So the answer is ALL OF us have go through metal detectors in grocery stores, malls, restaurants, movie theaters, car dealerships, post offices, hair salons, bowling alleys, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Costco, Walmart, McDonalds, hospitals, gyms, nursing homes . . . .????
Or walking down the street, sitting on your front porch, knocking on someone's door, pulling into someone's driveway.....
What a moron. Just how do metal detectors prevent shooting thru a church stained glass window. Piece of shit
And what school doesn’t have windows???
Right???
Well, schools have windows at the moment, but kids don’t need natural light 🙄 I remember when they tried blaming doors, and suggested that schools should each have only one door. SIGH. I don’t think the fire marshals would approve that.
The kids were in church ,the killer was outside shooting into the church
Also, what are those metal detectors there to detect? Guns. It's the guns.
This shooter was shooting from outside through a stain glass window, how would a metal detector have stopped him? Hannity is an immoral walking Garbage can.
And he’s 5’-4” — hey that rhymes.
He makes millions spewing his bullshit. I doubt he even believes half of it. He is a political hoar and nothing more.
Only thing that’s sad & pathetic is this MF’er gaslighting his viewers into believing that it’s not the guns that killed, again,unarmed children in a church but that metal detectors would have somehow prevented this!What bullshit!If the shooter didn’t have access to weapons they’d be alive!WTAF?
He left out, “Because of guns”
Surely Fox has a "feedback form" where interested viewers can leave msgs re - how inaccurate SH observation is (metal detectors *outside* a church window?) -other POVs regarding lies or his perhaps incapacity w/in FEC broadcast stds?
He shot through the windows of the school. How's a metal detector going to prevent that?
Yes. A perimeter. Ideally you want some reasonable kind of buffer around every school and religious building and government office ? Let’s call it 10 miles just to be safe.
But wouldn't the NRA object if metal detectors were deployed to ferret out guns?
Fox News and right wing crazies rushing to blame anything and everything except the guns for mass murders is just batshit crazy. Let’s say it again - every country has mental health issues and only the gun crazy USA has this many murders, injuries and trauma from guns.
Hannity is a bloviating idiot. Evil too.
The shooter in MN shot through the church windows.
Also, imagine trying to get a couple of hundred elementary school kids to go through a metal detector every morning. Pens, zippers, pencil sharpeners, hairpins, jean buttons, random things they put in their pockets... And it's on you to figure out why these kids are setting off the metal detector.
Beep beep beep "Hey stop, kid!" "Fcuk you!" BANG! That's the inevitable sequence.
The shooter didn’t even enter the church as the doors had been locked. Metal detectors would have done nothing. He simply shot through the windows. Hannity is a hack.
Leavitt’s words corrected: frankly, I think the right is incredibly insensitive and disrespectful to the tens of millions of Americans with common sense across this country who believe in the power of stricter gun laws
He shot through the windows. I didn’t think Hannity could get any stupider
I'm sure he'll surprise us again sometime soon.
Plus it wasn’t a school, it was a CHURCH!
Many, many Americans love their guns more than they love each other. I don't see a way to pull us back from this simply because so many people are much more repulsed by the notion of any common sense gun legislation than they are by the deaths of children. It's sickening.
Also notice Hannity and the rest of the rightwing talking heads and podcast, ect. skip past the fact that the school shooters except for three have all been white males. This is since 1966. www.britannica.com/event/Texas-...
These school shooters are following rightwing ideas. so as usual Hannity is full of bullshit.
They already want to arm the teachers. So thankful I was able to leave the profession. Only so many live shooter drills one can take.
reading the same script from years ago - hey dropout, this happened in a church
Speaking of sad and pathetic, Sean Hannity. Oh, and sounds like your buddy is all over the Epstein Files... doing terrible disgusting things to children.
didn' this last shooter shoot through windows from outside of the building?
Do metal detectors disable guns?
Hannity is just pathetic.
I blame guns for gun violence. I also tend to blame viruses for viral diseases and tornados for tornado destruction, but I guess that just makes me an idiot.
I guess I could say the same. 🤷♂️
Guns don't kill people; people kill people. Viruses don't kill people; vaccines kill people. Tornadoes don't kill people; God's hatred for gays and atheists kills people. /s
How woke of us 😅
Guns are not 100% at fault. I have guns for hunting, sport and self-protection. None of my guns, not one of my guns have shot anyone. I can even go as far as to say, none of my guns have never shot anything, that I did not aim, pull the trigger and force it to shoot. It stops shooting when I stop.
Only idiots would think anyone thinks guns shoot themselves.
And only idiots think that guns are violent. I just checked on all my guns in my safe and they are peacefully waiting for me to load and take them hunting or to the range.
Thanks for proving my point…
And you use a bad guy as your gif. 🤣🤌🏻 perfect.
Not sure if you know, that is from a movie. He does not really exist....you know as a.......... "Bad Guy". Do you use drugs?
Oh ffs
Thank you for mansplaining to me how a gun works.
No problem, sadly there are A LOT of people out there who think there is gun violence problem. My guns are not violent, I just checked, and they are peacefully waiting for me to take them hunting. A crazy person can create violence with them. Like running over a person with car.
You're a moron.
I would rather be a moron than be very ignorant....High Five!
The telling part of your post there is “guns for protection”. Why do you need guns for protection, if there’s not a gun problem? Or rather, there’s a “people having guns problem”… Well done for not murdering anyone so far, but that’s a fairly low bar….
You have never been robbed with your wife, have you? You never have crossed paths with a mountain lion with your kids camping, have you? WELL DONE for not understanding that that guns are not the only dangerous things on this earth.
Have I ever been robbed? Yeah, once. But I live in a country where no-one wanders around with gun, so they didn’t have one either. See how it works? If no-one has a gun, no-one needs one. And then you end up with a vastly lower murder rate.
UK has a significant issue with stabbing violence, particularly involving youths. Knife-related offenses in England and Wales have surged by 87% over the last decade, with over 54,000 incidents recorded in the last year and a continuing increase in 2025. You need a gun.
“The US murder rate is significantly higher than the UK's, with the US homicide rate in 2023 at approximately 5.76 per 100,000 people compared to England and Wales' rate of about 0.95 per 100,000 people in early 2024”…. So, no. I, nor any of my countrymen that aren’t armed forces or police need one
You still do not get it, I will not be one of those 5.76 per 100k people, because............I have guns. As for you, there is a much higher chance that you will be one of the 0.95 per 100k because you don't. God Bless America, Texas and the constitution, now and pass the ammunition.
Of course, the most common gun death is you use it on yourself.
Nope, you are 6 times MORE likely to be one of those people. This is how statistics work. Especially if the person who is robbing you has a gun, and thinks you may be going for one yourself… you’re dead. In the UK what happens is… you lose your phone and wallet. Bad, but less so.
In sane places you don’t need guns to stop robbers. In sane places you don’t have the crime rate the US has. We have wild animals too. And do you know how most people get killed? Cows!
That is great you have nice robbers to stop. "We", what do you mean by we? You raise livestock too, what type of cattle do you have? Which is your preferred salt lick?
What stops you taking aim at kids at a school? What if that barrier is somehow removed.... what then? Granted you may argue the risk is small, I'd counter argue the price is too high to accept any risk. Up till 13.03.1996 43 year old Thomas Hamilton had never shot anyone either.
What stops you from getting in your car and running over kids in a school zone as they walk home? What if that barrier is somehow removed....what then? The risk is small, right? Your answer to my question is the same answer I give you on your question. So where do we go from here?
If we put aside the requirement of a driving liscence yes I could take my car down the road and try to plough through kids. But there's infrastructure in the way, i get one shot at and my car moves slower than a bullet so easier to spot and avoid. Where do you go? remove firearms from everyone.
Easier to spot and avoid! Really?????? I would love to hear you explain that to the families of the 14 killed by one "easily to spot" Ford Truck this last News Years eve in New Orleans. Sorry, Mike, I cannot take you serious after that post. I feel bad for just laugh at your post.
You asked about my kids' local school so I gave an answer relevant to that. If you want to move to large festivals,my city puts up barriers to protect pedestrians. Cars can be lethal but less effective than guns at targeting kids in school Laugh away, just let the grown ups take over for a bit.
Are you saying that young school kids in school zones are quicker on their feet and have better situational automotive awareness than adults? That was EPIC, say something like this again!!!!! I think I need to follow you. You are funny!
Maybe you're right! www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Ov...
In Scotland young children have teachers,parents and infrastructure to help keep them safe from traffic. Not sure how you think we operate over here, bairns aren't ejected onto the street at 3pm in a real life Frogger situation. Anyway we're not going to agree and you have nothing original, sorry 👋
I don’t blame the gun I blame the irresponsible gun lobbyists who have created a scenario where anyone can use credit cards to buy assault rifles and semi-automatics that can kill dozens of people in a number of minutes. These weapons existing doesn’t bother me, the ease of access does.
You don't think there should be any responsibility of the actual shooter? Or why he shot up a church full of children? Interesting!
Guns get stolen all the time.
Do stolen guns shoot on their own? I never have stolen a gun, nor have I seen a stolen gun in person, but I assume they work just like non-stolen guns.
Does the rest of the civilized world have anywhere near our INSANE level of gun violence?
My niece was killed by a gun stolen from someone who considered himself "a good guy with a gun." His gun was used to murder a beautiful 20 year old woman. Plans backfire.
Yeah, because someone stole their gun. Like, that's not their fault
Instead of using the lens "to whom should we assign the blame", try asking "how could we prevent the harm?" It doesn't matter whether we consider the original gun owner to be directly to blame. The fact is, if the gun wasn't there to be stolen, that particular shooting could have been prevented.
Doug, Now do this ↓↓↓↓↓ with drunk drivers that kill on averaged of about 37 people a day in the US.
Yeah, but I do not think we can take guns away from people who did nothing wrong. If someone is a good, upstanding member of society and their gun is stolen, then they are a victim. We can't have no guns. We have to fight fascism.
In places that have successfully prevented the mass gun violence we see in the U.S.A., they didn't achieve it by taking guns away forcefully. Usually combination of voluntary buy-backs to reduce excess supply, and stronger regs making them harder to buy, requiring safer storage, more training, etc.
How do they enforce the storage piece of it? Keeping a gun in a safe also means you can't grab it without wasting time on the safe
A lot of gun owners fantasize that the guns in their homes will one day be used to heroically stop a home invader. Statistically, a gun in the home is *vastly* more likely to be used on a family member — a child playing and misfiring it, a suicide, domestic violence. Harder to get at is *good*.
Exactly! Yeah I get the whole your rights aspect but I think can all about that there are simply too many guns physically available in this country. To many ways, legal or illegal, to obtain one. Where there is endless bounty one need not plant.
I do agree with this view. The photos of people with like 500 of them, I mean also, that's just wasteful.
Yes exactly, and beyond that just the shear number guns available, from large collections changing hands to just the general number of people with firearms not to mention criminal enterprises with stockpiles, makes getting a gun for anyone who wants one a relatively trivial thing to do.
Right, absolutely we should shut all that shit down. We do not have to tell the little guy where to store his gun. We can make suggestions, that makes sense. People ought not assume they understand what another person's life is like. Violent self defense is justified.
How sure are you that your guns won't get stolen? What happens to them when you die! How sure are you that your guns will never be near a troubled fifteen year old ever as long as they exist?
The only way my guns can get stolen, is if they know the combination to my gun cabinet safe or they can easily carry that 500lb safe up the stairs. If I die, my family will just add them to their collection in their safes. Not sure if a troubled drunk teen will steal my truck and run over people.
Do you support not allowing a person with a history of driving drunk from continuing to have a license? Why is it we can accept training, licensing, and insurance as requirements to operate a motor vehicle, and ways to lose the privilege, but not similar requirements to own and operate a firearm?
My cousin's dumbass boyfriend cannot own a firearm (thank God), and he is an adult. Maybe do a little research then we can continue this discussion.
For my part, I am a veteran with a small arms expert marksman award, have gone through LEO training to be bonded to carry for private security, and own guns for hunting. I had no problem having to take training and be licensed to carry. Seemed reasonable to me.
Sure, felons can't own guns, and in some states a domestic assault conviction or restraining order will disqualify you, and some states have red flag laws that only work if someone is flagged. Then you have courts saying those are unreasonable restrictions and some states prohibiting restrictions.
So, we agree there are prohibiting restrictions for guns, like we do for driver licenses. No matter how difficult you make it, people will find a way around the rules. I may or may not have had a fake ID/license when I was younger (it was expensive). I cannot confirm or deny it.
There are a few restrictions, but not universal, like we have for drivers licenses. I just find it ludicrous that an employer can demand to review my social media to ensure I'm not a liability, but we only check for felony convictions in order to buy a semi-automatic rifle w/ high capacity magazine.
What? Tell your employer where to go and how to get there. You can do that, I would. I think you're mixing laws and hiring business practices here. Not saying it is a bad idea, assume they get the right social media account. Write to your congressman.
Who are you protecting yourself from and why? Why do you need more than say a couple of guns?
Good question: See link below for #1. #2, different guns have different purposes. For example, mini vans are to move families, Trucks are used to move hay and horses, sports cars are used for hot dates and driving fast. Mail trucks are used to..............deliver mail. bsky.app/profile/losh...
Oh I forgot. US cars are shit so you need spares!
Or you just use a Landrover defender which can go fast (sub 6 second 0-60) and tow a trailer for your horses and carry 7 people. (Or you get the Octa which has a 0-60 of 3.8 secs). You don’t need a bunch of different cars. We don’t really do trucks.
Guys, you're wasting your time. This guy has some gun utopia fantasy that he's fine sacrificing living, breathing children for. Nothing you say is going to change his mind.
Yeah but trolling him is hilarious!
Yeah @bizthenavigator.bsky.social , trolling me is VERY hilarious. Geez. Just because I don't agree with you 100% does not mean that we cannot have a conversation. Oh, don't forget your ANGRY WHITE LIBERAL FEMALE support group meeting is an hour earlier tomorrow. So don't be late.
Oof. I think I hurt his feelings.
All I need is my F-350 dually diesel truck and life is good.
My Landrover is diesel too!
Land Rover's diesel engines vary by model and year but commonly include a 3.0-liter V6 engine. Now that is just so cute!!! Whoa, a 3.0 liter. Looks like someone is wearing their big boy pants now.
I bet you would be horrified that the hybrid range rover with a smaller engine out performs your truck in every way!
Yeah we don’t need anything bigger because we don’t build over weight vehicles with asthmatic engjnes! Capacity just means it costs you more.
An F350? Poor you!
Well, there mi vaquerito, when you are raising livestock a Land Rover just cannot do it. You need horsepower, muscle, not some foreign piece of garbage with sexy trim and looks better parked at the Victory Secret than covered in mud delivering hay. How is the hilarious trolling going?
Oh and I literally pointed out how the Defender Octa has MORE horse power than your Super Doody!
Also is the Victoria Secret phrase supposed to be insulting. Some of my underwear comes from there. Yes you should have said “mi vaquerita” Menso Americano!
Fine. You keep coming back with hilariously bad takes. Firstly a Landrover isn’t foreign. Because I live in the UK. You know what a foreign piece of garbage which doesn’t fit on our roads is, a Ford F350 Super Doody. And secondly the farmers here use Landrovers and carry livestock.
The issue is two-fold. We routinely ignore and marginalize people with severe mental health issues but it is also way to easy for these people to get their hands on a gun, legally or illegally. Only way to fix it is to reduce how many guns are in the wild AND actually start caring for mental illness
Reducing guns will not help. We try to reduce illegal drugs, yet they are everywhere especially in South Texas. I do agree with the severe mental issue. The big trend fact that no one talks about are these soft targets that shooters are picking (schools and churches).
Also yes the targets are soft but what's the solution to that? Maybe security everywhere? Body armor and weapons for everyone all the time? Sounds like a no go tbh. Not sure how you would address soft targets existing tbh.
Protect schools and churches like we protect airports, banks, and federal buildings. If you wanted to kill as many people as you could, airports have wide open areas and have no places to hide besides benches and ticket counters. Why no shootings?
Except that manufacturing drugs is far easier to do than guns. You're correct that the entry of guns into the country is difficult to stop but there are tons of guns that people legally own normally distributed in the US that can be removed from circulation with the right policies.
Remember the goal isn't 0 guns, just less guns. And unlike drugs most people who want guns for things like recreation or collecting or some other use case, aren't going to generally make a huge demand for illegal weapons in response to lowered availability. Drug demand tends to induce a supply.
No, merely illogical.
Whales cause gun violence, whales are assholes, whales should be held responsible.
Well the only Whale i can blame for many other things, is the claiming to be one commander in chief and acting as a DickTater instead
Tornados don't kill people. People who predict tornados kill people. If no one said it's a tornado, there'd be no tornado. - GOP logic
They locked the doors... The shooting didn't come from inside the church. Hannity's out of talking points that make even the remotest amount of sense.
It’s people with guns, sadly too many people with guns who’ve been shouting their unhealthy obsessions (correlated with mass shooting) events from rooftops, and why isn’t there an algorithm for THAT.
Ted Cruz blamed doors. They’ll blame anything but the easy access to guns.
🎯
A reply from George Takei!! < swoon > < nerdgasm >
Exactly. They're metal detectors, not metal confiscators. "I was going to start shooting, but there were beeping sounds so I went home quietly instead." - No Gunman Ever.
You realize your party didn’t even agree with metal detectors in Congress right? You dumb shit
Has he heard of windows? Because bullets go through those. What an old decaying fucking walrus-ass bitch Sean Hannity has become. Warbling whatever his minders tell him to warble about.
This dickhead must get a salary from the NRA too.
This guy shot through the windows. From the OUTSIDE.
Do you think he would sing a different song if it was HIS child murdered?
Anything but common sense. The maximum destruction in the shortest amounted of time is GOP regulation, for that matter, the party platform..
Australia doesn't have school shootings and we don't have metal detectors, armed guards or similar things in our schools either. I wonder why? Could it be sensible gun laws ...?
Hannity is in favor of making the schools like prisons and the children the inmates.
When did we NEED to have metal detectors at schools? When this second amendment crazy stuff started happening. When guns were not as plentiful, kids at school were not getting shot.
Hannity is a blow-heart! School’s should not have to have metal detectors…guns need to be regulated, there are more guns than people in this country, AR-15’s are not for self defence…they are weapons of war, meant to kill people!!
Don’t most modern firearms have a heritage that would make them weapons of war? Seems like a pretty low bar.
Hannity you moron, the sadness comes from innocent lives lost, not from people trying to prevent deaths by calling for common sense gun laws like every other country....
Sean Hannity, you are pathetic
Disgusting human and the entire party
Other countries don’t need this kind of security at their schools. Why would that be? 🤔
Cause here in 🇨🇦, Walmart doesn’t sell guns..
Exactly.
In other words, this Fox News fuck stain, has children’s blood on his hands. He has synagogue, Mosque and Church worshippers blood on his hands. He has the blood of minorities and majorities on his hands. So much American blood spilt. So much innocence destroyed.Guns don’t even play a part of this?
No other country needs metal detectors in schools. Why? They don’t have the same nutty obsession with gun ownership.
gqp has "normalized" crazy and says that everyone else should adjust to accommodate the nut jobs they enabled
The Minneapolis gunman shot into the church from the outside of the building. So now you're going to put bulletproof glass everywhere? How about just taxing bullets? $100 a round ought to do it.
America is the only country in the world where the #1 killer of children is gun violence. Americans decided decades ago that their gun fetish was more important than the lives of their children. It’s a sick and depraved culture.
Yes, metal detectors in schools that can’t afford books. Fox is the mouthpiece of the stupid.
It’s the first time I’ve entertained a thought like this, but I’m in such a 😑 mood that I’ll say it. How come none of the “horrible leftists” ever shown ANYBODY at FOX how it feels to be a victim or near victim of a shooting? Because these mother fuckers are so mentally disabled that they can’t —
— experience empathy through anything except personal experience. Unless it happens to them, they don’t give a fuck, they’ll say whatever they’re paid to say, like a bunch of whores. Send a few rounds past Hannity’s ear, he’d change his tune REAL fucking quickly. It worked for United Health Care.
More importantly though, I’m wondering how nothing like that has happened ALREADY. How has anybody at Fox NOT pissed people off so much that SOMEONE took a swing at one of them? I wanna say Fox News is proof that “Some people are only alive because murder is illegal” but that doesn’t feel accurate.
A metal detector isn't effective if the shooter just walks in and starts blasting. It takes cops several minutes to show up. It's not a deterrent. Fixing the problem by passing gun control legislation can fix the problem BEFORE the guns arrive anywhere near a school. It's been proven they can.
It definitely is the guns. It's jerks like him that are responsible for the proliferation of guns in our society. Blood on their hands.
