The gunmaker whose rifle was used in Uvalde shooting reportedly runs direct-to-consumer ads aimed at younger buyers

They care only about profit.

If more looked at the gun industry, in the same light as a drug pusher. What a difference this would be. They a pushing the gun just like a drug. Both drugs and guns cause addiction.

NRA/Repugnicans are more concerned with the "rights" of the perpetrators than the lives of their victims. There is no solution to arming the incompetent, irresponsible, or homicidal in that.
Red flag measures should be permanent until an application for reassessment for responsible competence is submitted and considered.

Desperate onlookers urged police to charge into the school where their children were trapped. Instead, police massed outside the building for 40 minutes and waited.


Once inside it seems police were stymied by a locked door.

Now they're saying it was 80 minutes.

Police threw up a perimeter to deal with unruly parents (desperate to save their kids) while they rehashed state vs federal authority.

Did you see the video of Donnie mis-pronouncing the Latino names of the children ?

And the NRA rang a gong along with the death toll. Serious sickness.

Lamenting what ? The authorities botched this situation.

Biden sees chance of ‘rational’ Republican approach on guns

Sorry, Joe, but there are no rational Repubes anymore.

This was once the shooter started a no win situation. Monday morning quarterbacking by people who were not there is just that.....


This was a fluid fast evolving, overlapping authorities. Ego's and the unqualified added to just plain out of their league scared ....there was enough incompetent people to go around. What makes anyone think the next will be any different?

There will be a scapegoat blamed, yet the true guilty will never be punished. The ones who promote and drive the addiction to the gun....

The gun is a tool not a plaything. Somewhere alone the way it s not becoming a plaything.

No doubt a scapegoat will be blamed. But, blaming someone won't bring back those children and teachers.

Before long they're going to hang this around the neck of the Uvalde police chief rather than admit the unfettered access to military grade weapons is a problem.

To Do the Right Thing, You Might Have to Die
What does a uniform mean?

From Uvalde police training documents:

First responders to the active shooter scene will usually be required to place themselves in harm’s way and display uncommon acts of courage to save the innocent.

As first responders we must recognize that innocent life must be defended. A first responder unwilling to place the lives of the innocent above their own safety should consider another career field.
