I just read this and cried. It's never gonna end. The NRA is a terrorist organization.

Woke up a little after 3:00 AM during the initial press conference. Awful.

I woke up at 3:15 as the alerts were coming in. Thought about posting but I just couldn’t.

Any thoughts and/or prayers?

He might be too heartbroken to muster up any thoughts and/or prayers. Of course, that's total speculation on my part.

this is what a joke our gun laws and our country is. The gunman was a known threat. Police confiscated a shotgun because of this. Yet he was LEGALLY able to buy the guns after this in which he used to kill these 8. Our country values guns and has zero value for human life, but if you are a bunch of cells in a woman’s uterus then they care, only until birth mind you

Easy access to guns is a horrendous problem and needs to be fixed. But it's not really not useful to make any connection between that and any laws that protect 'a bunch of cells in a woman's uterus'.

This is from Twitter, with a screenshot and link to a WSJ article I can’t access, so take it with as many grains of salt as seem appropriate.

It seems that the Indianapolis shooter was a brony. That’s become a new-Nazi white nationalist thing, as if the concept weren’t creepy and repellent enough already.

last night’s mass shooting, sponsored by the NRA, was in Wisconsin.

If the Biden administration does something to reduce gun violence, it would be a great achievement.

More like a miracle. The issue isn’t Biden, it is the republicans

The murderer is a former cop who was recently charged with child sex abuse.

Yup. Saw this earlier and needless to say not shocked.
