Routine Shootings at US Schools and Universities Megathread.

It is California and I am pretty sure they cannot Constitutionally ban firearms.

My bad.

[The Minsky Moment]

In other news, apparently California passed a law allowing victims of gun violence to sue gun manufacturers.

How's that going to play out, I wonder?

More great Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights in the great state of Florida.

The best part is how after their children were shot, they were still more intent on fighting each other then getting them help.

Both men are out on bail.

Why would the judge let two homicidal maniacs charged with attempted murder out on bail?  There's not much more of a clear-cut "danger to society" than these two.

I don't know about the intricacies of Florida bail law, but more generally if they have no record, are employed, looking after/supporting children, and it was an impulsive rather than planned act - good luck to the prosecutor trying to deny them bail.  Plus it probably doesn't hurt that they're white.

"If it was an impulsive rather than a planned act" logically makes it worse, because not even the accused can say if they will try it again tomorrow.  I know logic doesn't always apply ("the Law is an ass") but I find it kind of amusing in this case.

Of course, they've been convicted of nothing, either.

Their action demonstrate exactly the opposite, they're both a danger to their own and other children.

I wonder if the two would have gotten bail if accussed of sexually abusing children?

Surprised it's not more. US has a lot of gun nuts. Wonder how it breaks down by states.

It's shockingly high to me.  I know a few gun nuts and none of them would buy this QAnon garbage.

This has been in a way the most depressing aspect of the Trump phenomenon, to find out how many of my countrymen are psychos.

Isn't it just an offshoot of the black helicopter and the fake moon landing people? I always imagined that was a large portion of the rural dumbfuck population, of which the number is vast.

[The Brain]

When you get down to 1/5 of the population, don't you get all kinds of wacky stuff? That's about the number of insane morans in society.
