the good news is that there is now growing bipartisan support for banning bump stocks. they're getting really close to something, i can feel it

yeah, i don't mean to make light of these incidents, sorry. it is really, really heartbreaking how nothing is being done at the national level to prevent gun violence. i don't know the details of this latest one; i know it may not be a good example of a preventable outcome. there are almost always more factors than just the mere availability of a gun. but they sure don't help, that's for fucking sure. i chiefly blame the republicans for refusing to do anything to help, at the cost of many lives. it's shameful. but democrats should at least keep vocally fighting for measures to reduce gun violence, even if it's like banging a head against the wall. it may be futile, but at least send a signal that something is happening that is wrong.

as many have noted, we crossed some sort of threshold when nothing was done after sandy hook. i don't know where we are now, but it's a persistently despicable place

yeah that's right next to where i grew up, had a few friends who went there. fucking sick. high school was bad enough for me without major incident, i can't imagine dealing with something like this, shootings, new copters, active shooter drills, as a 14 year old :(

come to think of it, when i was in high school, a 13 year old kid at another s fl high school shot a teacher he had an argument with in the head and killed him. he was tried as an adult. still in jail. it was haunting when i visited the school a cpl months later with the debate team.
the scope + randomness of these spree shootings is of course a lot scarier

I'm one block from my kid's elementary school and there's a lot of construction on homes nearby. Sometimes a jackhammer type sound comes from one of the sites and I have that split second where I'm not sure.

My niece goes to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, where the shooting occurred. She wasn't there at the time, but just heard from my brother many horror stories of parents still without information about their kids, others who texted as their kids hid in closets.— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 14, 2018
