Gun Control - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
conservative gun-advocate christians are absolutely hilarious. i'm rewatching daily show videos on my sick day, and listening to this person, with 100% certainty and sincerity, saying that the best solution is to bring back Jesus into schools, and not you know, BANNING GUNS!
Chicago has strict gun control. How’s that working out for them?
good god, i make one post about my liberal views and i'm suddenly getting conservative anons about how guns are good and how guns totally aren't the problem.
chicago has a gun issue, but most of the guns from chicago are from ghost guns that are made without registry, and other contraband methods. also, chicago may have once had strict gun control, but most of that is has been overturned in state and federal courts. while they have stricter laws than say, Texas, it's still not that strict.
the onion has had it (and again, after the roe vs wade ruling)
his dad had gotten him the gun he used for the shooting as a Christmas present. It is illegal in GA for minors to own guns.
Okay very serious post time
TW: school sho0ting, Apalachee HS sho0ting
I live and go to achool an hour away from Apalachee. The shock and fear that one experiences when you find out a school an hour away has a sho0ting is so indescribable to anyone who hasn't experienced it. Today my school has our normal security officer and THREE others, a state trooper, a sheriff, and another who I can't read the car of.
I, a 16 year old, shouldn't have to go to school thinking "what if today's the day?" I should not have to have a plan for every room and every section of my school for if (inevitably, when) something happens. CHILDREN shouldn't have to worry about this. We deserve to be protected. Metal detectors help a little bit, but it's far too easy to slip things past.
At Apalachee two teachers, Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie, both of which who had families, were killed. Two students, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, both of which were 14, were also killed. By a 14 year old with an AR-style gun. Colt Gray had access to this weapon through his father, who claimed Colt "did not have unsupervised access to his hunting guns." Colt Gray has been on an FBI watchlist since last year in suspected relation to school sho0ting threats and social media posts about guns, but they didn't have enough evidence to arrest him. Now 4 people are dead and another 9 are injured, one of which had to be airlifted to Atlanta (Taylor unknown-lastname). David Phoenix (sh0t in the hip and foot according to his daughter) was also injured. All 9 are expected to survive thankfully. (the other 8 victims names haven't been disclosed as they were all students and therefore, minors)
WHEN are the adults who run this godforsaken country going to ACTUALLY do something about this? School started a fucking MONTH ago and there's already been one school sho0ting with major coverage and who knows how many others.
My mom said to me last night "And I though, at least she only has about a year and a half left, and then I was like nope these things happen at colleges too." I had so many people ask me if I was alright. I'm lucky enough to have never been in a county eith an active sho0ter but what about those who are? Apalachee has a student population of around 1910, plus their staff. Those are 1910+ families who will never be the same. 1910+ people who will never be the same.
I've seen so many posts of ELEMENTARY SCHOOL teachers talking about how their students told them "they wanted the light up shoes but couldn't get them just in case we have to hide" or something along that line. LITERAL CHILDREN. Everyday my little sisters go to school and I worry about them too. They are 9 and 4.
Protect our children.
Protect us.
Please.
Talk about the victims. Talk about the injured victims. Don't give all the attention to Gray. They had families too.
