Just a question about that mass shooting

[malada]

I should clarify: just a question about that mass shooting of that Christian school in (not Wyoming) Wisconsin.

How does a 15 year old get a hand gun?

Just asking a question.

In America? Probably her parents' bedroom, I'm thinking?

The same way all the middle-school kids in NYC get theirs. (When I hear headlines about an eleven-year-old in Brooklyn shooting into a group as he rides past them on an E-bike, and kills someone who's 13) I guess it's no harder for a kid to say to somebody "do you know where I can buy a gun?" than it is for an adult to ask the same thing. (And people who sell them won't balk at a customer who hasn't reached puberty yet.)

I'm just afraid someone in the newest gub'ment is going to decide to go around personally handing out weapons to anybody they see, because the Second Amendment is what Made America Great.

There was another one in Wyoming? I thought it was in Wisconsin. Kind of hard to keep track these days of "freedumb".

As I've posted before probably here and elsewhere: I gave up on us ever seeing an end to these with congress crits with Rs after their names didn't do anything after some of their own members got shot-up back in 2017. Maybe if that shooter had better aimed and offed a few of them rather then seriously wound them, but I doubt even then the survivors would have done anything.

I got the wrong state - it's been corrected.

I comment about it because it that ever increasing list of mass shootings, the city next door is mentioned. I wasn't directly effected but... damn. Next door.
