You usually have a solution when you're presented with a problem. Maybe this country doesn't think it's a problem.They won't do it bruh, the solution is pretty simple but this country refuses to do anything about it. I've come to the conclusion that this is just our new normal. When they didn't do anything after Sandy Hook, I knew then they would never make changes. 5 and 6 year old kids were gun down and they did nothing..
(May 24 2023) - Another Sandy Hook just happened
- Thread starter ugk
- Start date
What are you laughing at?
“The average annual household income in Sandy Hook is $164,605” it’s also 95% white , so if nothing was done there nothing will be done.
I would like to find out was he abused long term on a daily basis and flipped out. There are pieces of shit that belong in prison doing this to people. I would be going after these people if something happened to my child in this school. It can't be he is guilty case closed, they need to look at all his encounters.
The media won't talk about it because this form of harassment has been weaponized to silence dissent or to kill people covertly. It is used to get rid of people on jobs and force them to quit.
Unless he was mutilating animals like a serial killer, or couldn't take rejection, than you need to find out.
Fucking horrendous
If it's horrendous, they should be open casket funerals that are broadcasted by the media.
Alex Jones is scum.
I wouldn't say rich but definitely upper middle class. And probably uppity AF
There's a problem, they just refuse to do anything about.
That’s just the median which means it’s well off . The average annual household income in Beverly Hills is $192,591. Beverly Hills is rich as fuck.
Fucked up as it sounds you may be right.
It took seeing Emmitt's mangled body for (some) people to finally get it.
Start putting these children's dead bodies all over the place and make these people see what our inactivity costs.
Will never happen. Unless it’s an unborn aborted fetus
From 2020. Reminiscent of the food companies fighting desperately to keep from having to report ingredients on food.
Always good to know whose really running the show and how much they’re willing to spend to keep you in the dark.
How Much Did the NRA Spend to Support Republicans in 2020?
We’re tracking the gun group’s 2020 election expenditures in real time.
In 2016, the National Rifle Association spent more than $50 million to back Donald Trump and several Republican Senate candidates, establishing itself as a major force in the election.
At the same time, the organization’s finances were deep in the red. After allegedly abusing its nonprofit status for years through lavish spending on executives and vendors, the NRA is now facing a lawsuit from the New York attorney general that aims to dissolve the organization.
Despite those existential threats, the gun group has promised another show of force during the 2020 campaign, and in August made one of its largest ever ad buys with a spot attacking Trump’s Democratic rival, Joe Biden.
Using data from ProPublica and the Federal Election Commission, we’re tracking the NRA’s spending as it happens.
So far, the NRA has spent $16.3 million in the presidential race.
$4.2 million
supporting Donald Trump
$12.2 million
opposing Joe Biden
Latest spending: Nov 3, 2020.
In addition to ad buys, the NRA has spent tens of thousands of dollars on canvassing, yard signs, and postage for anti-Biden mailers.
The NRA has spent $12.2 million across145 congressional races.
Showing 1 to 10 of 145
While the NRA has thus far focused the majority of its financial resources on this year's presidential contest, the group is throwing its weight behind some House and Senate contenders as well. In recent elections, the pool of candidates backed by the NRA has consisted almost entirely of Republicans.
The NRA has spent 19 percent more than gun reform groups so far.
National Rifle Association $28.5M
Everytown $21.6M
Until the most recent midterms, the NRA dominated gun reform organizations in election spending. But in 2018, the balanced started to shift as its ideological opponents launched larger campaigns than ever before, surpassing the gun group in overall spending. As the 2020 races continue, our tracker will tabulate election spending by the PAC wings of three major gun control groups — Brady, Giffords, and Everytown — to see if they will again outspend the NRA this year. (Everytown’s non-political arm provides funding to The Trace. Read our editorial independence policy here.)
Overall, the NRA is currently the 24th highest spender among groups making independent expenditures in the 2020 election, according to OpenSecrets.
Here's how the NRA's 2020 spending compares to this point in the past five election cycles.
The NRA will have to spend heavily to match its huge outlay in the last presidential election: at this point in 2016, the gun group had spent $52.6 million.
About the data
The dollar totals in this tracker reflect independent expenditures made by three organizations controlled by the National Rifle Association: the Political Victory Fund, a PAC; the Institute for Legislative Action, the NRA's lobbying arm; and the NRA Victory Fund, a newly created super PAC.
Itemized independent expenditure data is accessed periodically from ProPublica's Campaign Finance API. Other data on political candidates comes from the Federal Election Commission's API.
Independent expenditures are expenditures in support of or opposition to a political candidate, which are made independently of that candidate. While the NRA does give contributions directly to many campaigns as a show of support, these are capped at $5,000 per candidate per election, while independent expenditures are unlimited.

You can't keep playing by your oppressor’s term.
If the kids are non white, they're not going to care.
That never happens in mass shootings. The PATRIOT Act was a response to 9/11 not a domestic shooting. Generally, what's done in response to shootings is a lot of initial media coverage, amnesia, rinse and repeat.
Please stop quoting that retarded miserable cac troll
Going by some of the pictures of him posted on social media i dont think he was trying to impress any chicks...
You're right. His takes are beyond stupid.
if its fucked up something would be done. If nothing is done, then nothing is wrong.
Russian military is killing a few kids before they even take a moring piss... if you dont value human life what consideration is man, woman, child, disabled a or elderly?
Aren't people tired of hot takes?

As long as there are black people in America - White America won't do a damn thing about guns. In fact, they've convinced in order to to fix the problem, people NEED MORE guns.
If the entire country were white, guns would have been banned or heavily regulated like most European countries.
The NRA is having a conference this weekend in Texas.
What’s interesting is they don’t allow firearms into the conference.
Curious to know why?
If all members at the conference are armed…what do have to fear?

Strange this happened right after the New York thing.
You're a stone-cold moron.
LaPierre knows exactly what he’s doing. He also knows what enemies that brings.
Why you say that?
They're a bunch of ho ass hypocrites and cowards.
Someone should pull an active shooter prank at their meeting and watch how all those old ass motherfuckers shit themselves.
It's not strange at all for this country. There are mass shootings that have happened this year you probably haven't heard of because they happen all of the time.
