About one mass shooting every 20 hours and 24 minutes. And this is before the USA starts fighting itself in earnest.

    seeing as that the last one was prolly the last mass shooting of 2025, every day that average will increase until its less than one a day

    Yes please.

    There are so many idiots here. It's really hard to tell if someone is kidding or an right-wing / fascist / asshole / dumbfuck /whatever for real.

    And why the weird fixation with Charlie Kirk, when there are actual innocents dead?

    I have no idea, especially when Kirk was just taking one for the team according to his own words

    "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights." Charlie Kirk (April 5th, 2025)

    "... to protect our other God-given rights."

    It fucking annoys me to no end when religious fakers spout off shit like this. God never gave 'rights' to people. He instead told believers how they should act (Matt. 22: 36-40).

    Exactly. Can those idiots find the Bible passage that tells 'every yokel should be allowed to own a gun'? Nope. Ergo: No "God-given" right. Except when they see the creators of the 2nd amendment as gods worshiped by the gun-nuts.

    Propaganda/Manufacturing Consent for crimes.

    And Kirk knew like every republican megadonor (they all funded him). Many own or run media sites.

    But yeah its exactly what a lot of media did for the leadup to the iraq war, by many of the same people (Tucker carlson for instance)

    It just shows what we can accomplish when we put our minds and ammo to it.

    Okay, this looks bad, but… have you thought about gun makers? Their livelihood and family depends on selling guns. What will happen with little Timmy when Mr. Warmonger can’t bring bread to the table anymore?

    Those people died so the little Timmy Warmongers of the world could live! Think of the children, people!

    Sure, those headlines are rough, but let's zoom in on the real tragedy: a tear running down the cheek of the CEO of Freedom Arms, Inc. His yachts might have to skip their annual polish! How will little Timmy tell his private school friends his dad can only afford a single pony this year? People, the economy is suffering! Think of the quarterly profits!

    Someone posted a tweet that said that republicans are quick to blame Tylenol for autism, but can't do the same when its about gun violence and guns.

    I blame fun violence on people being shit cunts. And the government letting those shit cunts have guns.

    Only 25 more to hit that once a day average. Come on people, we can do this!

    We're only 286 days into the year though, so we're already well above once a day average so far, as long as people keep the violence up we're basically guaranteed to hit it by end of year. I'm so deeply tired of this world I can't even muster up any particular sarcasm for this milestone.

    I'm sure sending in more unidentified masked ICEstapo into urban areas to disappear people, including 15 year old girls, to who knows where will solve it!

    sure would be neat if communities had the sovereignty to decide whether or not to allow weapons

    you know instead of the system we have with the giant slave empire that ruins everything for everyone with nonsense laws and militarized cops

    i think usually the mass shootings definition excludes a lot of these, and usually means a more indiscriminate mass shooting… like a kid shooting random kids at a school….
    maybe the looser definition is more useful and we should have another term for the indiscriminate mass shootings….
    actually charlie kirk was shot while making a “point” about that….
    “oh well do you include gang violence?”.
    …
    as if gang violence isn’t also an issue with gun control….

    "gang violence" was just another of his racist dog whistle talking point.

    “talking points” is a dumb way to end conversations… not everyone who considers different angles is an alt-right shill….
    but i do think we need a different term for people who just snap and shoot random people vs people who shoot back at people
