There is a mass shooting in the US like what…every month? It is a daily occurrence 😞 It was just a matter of time until some psycho got into political rallies after seeing this shit happen in schools, churches, clubs…nowhere is safe for republicans and democrats alike.
Hopefully, this puts gun control back on the center of the campaign…right, guys?
As you may have noticed from what I wrote…I generally don’t approve of shooting into crowds…so I’m slowly gonna distance myself from your comment…like those guys who nervously smile at a racist joke and fade away just to keep the peace…
I guess you wanna kill me now too? I’m fair game, because your infallible ideolometer has deemed me an undesirable…it’s fine, right? Maybe I was at the rally, maybe I’m black and don’t like getting shot at when I go to any rally, but it’s ok, because you’re a moral prodigy.
Yea, it’s fucked up. When there are 10 shootings a month, they don’t care. When they are shot, the world is ending and soon enough you get the
Palpatine speech:
"Citizens of the civilized galaxy, on this day we mark a transition. For a thousand years, the Republic stood as the crowning achievement of civilized beings. But there were those who would set us against one another, and we took up arms to defend our way of life against the Separatists. In so doing, we never suspected that the greatest threat came from within.
The Jedi, and some within our own Senate, had conspired to create the shadow of Separatism using one of their own as the enemy’s leader. They had hoped to grind the Republic into ruin. But the hatred in their hearts could not be hidden forever. At last, there came a day when our enemies showed their true natures.
The Jedi hoped to unleash their destructive power against the Republic by assassinating the head of government and usurping control of the clone army. But the aims of would-be tyrants were valiantly opposed by those without elitist, dangerous powers. Our loyal clone troopers contained the insurrection within the Jedi Temple and quelled uprisings on a thousand worlds.
The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated! Any collaborators will suffer the same fate. These have been trying times, but we have passed the test. The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger. The war is over. The Separatists have been defeated, and the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. We stand on the threshold of a new beginning. In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society, which I assure you will last for ten thousand years. An Empire that will continue to be ruled by this august body and a sovereign ruler chosen for life. An Empire ruled by the majority, ruled by a new constitution!
By bringing the entire galaxy under one law, one language, and the enlightened guidance of one individual, the corruption that plagued the Republic in its later years will never take root. Regional governors will eliminate the bureaucracy that allowed the Separatist movement to grow unchecked. A strong and growing military will ensure the rule of law.
Under the Empire’s New Order, our most cherished beliefs will be safeguarded. We will defend our ideals by force of arms. We will give no ground to our enemies and will stand together against attacks from within or without. Let the enemies of the Empire take heed: those who challenge Imperial resolve will be crushed.
We have taken on a task that will be difficult, but the people of the Empire are ready for the challenge. Because of our efforts, the galaxy has traded war for peace and anarchy for stability. Billions of beings now look forward to a secure future. The Empire will grow as more planets feel the call, from the Rim to the wilds of unknown space.
Imperial citizens must do their part. Join our grand star fleet. Become the eyes of the Empire by reporting suspected insurrectionists. Travel to the corners of the galaxy to spread the principles of the New Order to barbarians. Build monuments and technical wonders that will speak of our glory for generations to come.
The clone troopers, now proudly wearing the name of Imperial stormtroopers, have tackled the dangerous work of fighting our enemies on the front lines. Many have died in their devotion to the Empire. Imperial citizens would do well to remember their example.
The New Order of peace has triumphed over the shadowy secrecy of shameful magicians. The direction of our course is clear. I will lead the Empire to glories beyond imagining.
We have been tested, but we have emerged stronger. We move forward as one people: the Imperial citizens of the first Galactic Empire. We will prevail. Ten thousand years of peace begins today."

There are ‘mass shootings’
dailyweekly depending on your criteria. From some articles it’s any shooting that involves or injures more than 3 people.The real question is how massive is a mass?
Edit: there’s a chart on the wikipedia, apparently there were no mass shootings on July 2nd and 3rd this year in the United States of America
What happened yesterday happens
1050 times a month in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2024?wprov=sfla1 (look at the table by the guy below)I’m counting 35 for the month of July so far. Or 24 is we’re going 5+ Injured/dead
sorry, I misread the table, I focused on the column with number of days without shootings 😒
It’s all good, we got there in the end.
No it’s way more frequent now
jfc
Agreed.
Hopefully, we can get public support for better marksmanship training.
it’s up to you to do your target practice.

whoa little buddy, you don’t know me, who do you think you’re talking to, your mom?
i read your post. that’s enough for me.
I guess you wanna kill me now too? I’m fair game, because your infallible ideolometer has deemed me an undesirable…it’s fine, right? Maybe I was at the rally, maybe I’m black and don’t like getting shot at when I go to any rally, but it’s ok, because you’re a moral prodigy.
ultimately, my ideolometer is the only correct one.
of course, just like Trump, he always thinks he is right about everything too, you are not so different in that respect.
Steve Scalise was shot in 2017 at the congressional Baseball game practice and still refuses to do anything about gun violence.
