Both shooters were Trump supporters. What a coincidence.

Stephanie Horowitz should be in Ripley's Believe it or Not. What an ----- country we have that produces stories where a woman survives two mass shootings by Republican lunatics. Canada produces stories of incredible luck as well. Ann Marie Jeremiah won the lottery twice in one year: dailyhive.com

"No way to prevent this," says only nation where this regularly happens.

If you want to know why people under 40 don't have much faith in the future of this country.

It's because we are a country that tells kids we can't keep them safe in school.

They grew up being trained that someone would try to murder them in school.

That's a failed society, no other way to describe it.

Putting the gun rights of killers over the safety of children.

This is the GQP response to school shootings.

A House Republican has introduced a bill that would make the AR-15, which has been used in many of the nation's most horrific mass shootings, the "National Gun of the United States," positioning it alongside official symbols like the bald eagle and Francis Scott Key's "Star Spangled Banner" in representing the U.S.

The bill was unveiled this week by gun store owner Rep. Barry Moore of Alabama. It has been cosponsored by Representatives Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado), Andrew Clyde (R-Georgia) and George Santos (R-New York).

#4: Failed society is spot on. The welfare of the oligarchs, corporations, or other countries supersedes the interests of the American people and the youth see that. How many poor Americans could receive free medical care for the price of the munitions dropped on the Houthis? Why America's youth haven't emigrated yet to other countries is a mystery to me.

"make the AR-15 the National Gun of the United States"

This Is America.

There's countries that want America's overweight, under-educated youth?

We don't even want them! We let them get gunned down in schools, that's how little we care about them.

#10: These appalling figures courtesy of the NRA and the GOP.

"Guns are the Leading Cause of Death for Children in the US"

Motor vehicle-related crashes used to be the leading cause of death among children and teens.

You could see why some Drudge Retort bloggers enjoy living in Europe but push for gun rights in the US. The chances of them or their children getting killed by guns in Europe is infinitesimal compared to those of us in the US.

Yes, but that's misleading because they're overwhelmingly Black.
Signed,
Republicans

young people
Of course it is a symbol of the U.S.....decline as a modern, democratic nation. The NRA is a terrorist organization that demands the right to sell weapons to domestic terrorists who murder young people who are trying to get an education. I wonder why --------- hate education? Is it just because they are incapable of learning so they don't want others to learn either?

If you adjust by population and convert to a ratio you're only 11.1x less likely to get shot and killed in Canada.

I'd rather have their figures than ours

@#14 ... If you adjust by population and convert to a ratio you're only 11.1x less likely ...

Since your current trolling alias seems to have gone through those calculations, please show its work.

thx.

I'm sure the families of the dead are taking comfort RIGHT NOW in your ridiculous spin.

"only 11.1x less likely"

A minuscule 90% reduction in the risk!

US rate of child gun deaths based on population is 10x MORE than Canada's

There's no way to justify America having 10x Canada's rate of child gun deaths. Or for any other demographic.

Republicans do it every day!
