I’m so sorry for everyone at Brown and everyone with loved ones there. I go to UVA and I’ve experienced four shelter in place orders here. No one should ever have to experience this and I hate that it’s so common. The lack of communication from admin (seems like Brown is saying/knows nothing) makes it so much scarier. Stay safe and get a therapist when this is over ❤️
The school is kinda incompetent at handling it. I have many friends at brown and rhode island and they have no idea whats going on still. Barely any media coverage. And its been how many jours and the president herself doesnt even know whats happening https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSOuDNlkRRm/
What you just said is somewhat already in place. Other than government buildings, schools and universities have some of the strictest anti-gun policies/laws…which is why they’re often targeted. Evil individuals who do things like this are weak and only prey on the innocent. It’s very uncommon that they attempt something where they might face resistance from a good guy with a gun.
And to top this off…if you “ban” guns, the only people who wouldn’t have them are the ones who follow the law. Those using guns for illegal acts are not gonna give up their weapons because it’s suddenly illegal to have them. So then, you make the law abiding citizen who did give up their guns more vulnerable to gun violence.
That’s because it’s illegal to bring a gun on a college campus. The “good guys” follow that law and are defenseless. The “bad guys” don’t care. There’s a reason mass shooters target schools, malls, and concerts. They know nobody else will be armed to stop them so they can do as much harm as possible.
There was an incident a few years ago near where I grew up where a shooter pulled a gun and another guy who was concealed carrying capped him like immediately. Made the shot from a good distance without collateral damage too. This was also all in a “gun-free” zone, by the way. Thankfully the one guy ignored that because he probably saved a lot of people.
I hate to burst ur bubble but limiting the kinds legally avaliable wont stop criminals from getting them illegally it only will hurt the innocent people trying to defend themselves and their families in the end. I agree with you on harsher screenings as a whole but criminals are gonna be criminals and get things like that regardless
Hi.. I am Mr Burglar. I would have burglarized your house but I failed the screening process. California has the most mass shootings and it has nothing to do with population size and more to do with their gun laws. How come all the places with the strictest gun control have the most shootings? I see people running around social media laughing when people die and got the nerve to blame everything else but the bad energy that they are a part of. Down vote this idgaf. It’s only the truth
I agree. Blame the coward that did this. I never woke up and said it is a good day to take the life of another person. It is all on him. Not mental health. Not guns. No one but the coward who did it. He was definitely mentally ill but mental health in general is not to blame. When you see people glorifying the deaths of others and when people cheer for violence, it creates the perfect storm for the opportunistic cowards. There can be causes but not everyone is effected the same
not all gun control is meant to stop all gun violence. it's a chilling effect. 2 week holds on new purchases help cut down on suicide and heat-of-the-moment domestic violence. mental health screenings help cut down the number of mentally unstable people obtaining guns. background checks help cut down the number of criminally intentioned people obtaining them 21+ limits on alcohol and tobacco don't prevent all minors from obtaining those intoxicants yet they still help *drastically* reduce it
also so far in 2025 the top states for mass shootings are Illinois (total shootings) and Texas (shootings per million residents) Texas also has the highest number of deaths and Illinois has the highest number of injuries California is third for total shootings and number of injuries, but not even top five for shootings per million residents nor top five for deaths
"you people" 🤣 babe i'm black and not a democrat population density is a major factor, cities are densely populated, and cities tend to be more progressive than non-urban areas, but 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 ≠ 𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 and you never proved that all these shootings happened in cities or even blue areas, whereas i did prove that they most often happen most in pro gun red states
it's interesting to consider whether or not the shooters themselves are democrats. as we've seen from many shootings, shooters often target places like non-white churches or majority black grocery stores which tend to be in more urban areas. we've seen people cross state and county lines to engage in attacks. so whether or not it happened in a city doesn't necessarily mean it's a democrat/blue issue - it may be the exact opposite; conservatives targeting blue (particularly non-white) areas
Lies. They are leftists. Charlie Kirk, every trans and school shooter. The guy who killed those Minnesota politicians. What is Antifa again? Blaming the other guys for what your side does is just ridiculous. What about the mass shootings in blue run cities? How come those black lives never matter? Now that is racist
So where is the footage? I learned that the left just makes stuff up. I am old enough to remember when both you and Trump ran around calling covid shots safe. You lied about Epstein when it was Democrats in the files. The fake pictures of the orange man with redacted faces because they were or age says a lot. Just like how the Epstein victims cleared Trump yet you people keep going. It is a clown show
What the fvck are you yapping about kid? We're talking about broad trends of shootings and how they're made up mostly of right wing white men. There is no "exact" shooting because right wingers have committed *many* in the past couple decades, which we've already provided evidence of. You're just going "lalalalalala 🙈🙉" and pivoting every time we post proof. Doesn't even make sense. You've substantiated *absolutely nothing* buddy
i don't think this person has the range for this discussion. for some reason they think a conversation about broad trends in motivations for shootings should focus on "footage" of an "exact shooting" 🤣 they obviously just want to spin a narrative based on cherry picked examples. all the evidence and research we're sending is going right over their head
So you can’t name them. One of us has got to be lying and it isn’t me. Who does that leave? I actually followed the stories and didn’t run to the internet parroting what others were saying with absolutely zero evidence. Name just one. Charlie Kirk alone proves you are a liar. The facts don’t change because you don’t except reality
concessions you've made so far: 1) top states for mass shootings are red states (evidence provided) 2) right wingers make up the majority of mass shooters and domestic terrorist killings (evidence provided) 3) provided no evidence that these shootings happened in blue areas or cities, just claims
i would encourage you to read the discussion to see that it was not i who was "making this so political" (it's also important to note that all instances of mass violence are inherently political as it is a matter of law/criminality/policy) if you want to mourn in peace i strongly advise against going into anonymous forums / posts online (: have a great day - i hope you're able to process and cope with this in the ways you need ❤️
I’m one of the people who lost someone. Thoughts and prayers won’t bring my friend back. Mourning won’t bring her back. Not even policy and change will bring her back. But do you know what policy and change can do? They can prevent this from happening to another family and community.
Your friend was not a price I’m willing to pay for our current system. We need thoughtful regulations now. We can preserve the second amendment while also making it harder for this to happen. And we need to improve mental healthcare access and set up tip lines and early detection systems to catch individuals who show early warning signs. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m terrified this could happen to me or my friends
We need strict regulations that mirror countries where this rarely happens/doesn’t happen at all. The tragedy in Australia was the only shooting they’ve suffered all year. The shooting at Brown is just another one on the pile—we’ve had more shootings than days of the year. When will it end? When will we see that their systems work and ours doesn’t?
Regulations won’t help, the USA isn’t like australia or any other country. We have more guns than people, even if we enact strict regulations it won’t change. Even states with strict regulations still face gun violence higher than other places of equal size in the world, it’s a strictly American problem that needs an AMERICAN solution, we cant copy
"regulations won't help" is what people said about seat belt laws, alcohol and tobacco age limits, and nearly every other regulation on purchasing or using dangerous/harmful products. yet here we are with fewer car related deaths/permanent injuries, fewer minors becoming lifelong addicts or dying from consumption related diseases, starting fires, or getting hurt from things like PM medicines, etc. you can't make that prediction and saying it with confidence doesn't make it true
lmao one combat controller with access to ground and air support would obliterate any resistance you think you could put up if the gov really wanted your weapons. they've literally dropped C4 on their targets and nearby civilians and then forced firefighters to stand by as the resulting fires burned down entire city blocks where children were present (MOVE movement). your little LARP buddies are not vietcong or guerrillas. they are out of shape basement dwellers with active imaginations
That never happened and it is impossible to happen. Then how come they are more evil today than back then and the democrats are even more racist? They think they are the saviors of any race but only accept those who think like them. That is not a party switch and if you look it up you will see that that is a lie
Yet have always been a cancer to every race. They are in it for themselves. What have they done for minorities? Gee thanks for the genocidal Planned Parenthoods and reigning over the major crime cities. Liberals have an excuse for everything. Imagine if all lives mattered besides the ones they think mattered.
Per capita of 100k which classifies them as a big city. Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia better yet here is a copy and paste Cities with the highest homicide rates (per capita) in the U.S. often include New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis, Baltimore, and Washington D.C., with rates around 30-40+ per 100,000 people,
Top Cities by Homicide Rate (Per 100,000 People - Recent Data) New Orleans, LA: Often leads, with rates around 46 per 100k. Memphis, TN: High rate, around 41 per 100k. St. Louis, MO: Around 38 per 100k. Baltimore, MD & Washington, D.C.: Both have high rates, often around 36 per 100k. Birmingham, AL & Philadelphia, PA: Also feature high rates, with Philly seeing many total homicides but a lower rate (around 26 per 100k).
Dude 💀 by “per capita” did you think it meant “per city” or something? Because that’s not what it means at all. I don’t know what you want me to do with this list of cities with high homicide rates because it genuinely proves nothing, show me a study (that contains the actual stats and process of data not just a claim with no evidence) that actually shows no gun zones causing higher rates of shootings
I’m going to emphasize “causing” because correlation is not at all sufficient evidence for anything. Obviously places that are at higher risk for shootings would take more precautions against shootings like making no gun zones or stricter regulations, but you have to show the rates went up after the no gun zones were enacted and they were the cause
So u can move the goalposts and talk about whatever you want but want to put stipulations on people? I don’t think so. How has gun control worked out for Mexico City? Venezuela? Anywhere in history. I guess criminals see gun free zones and run in fear 😂😂 the murder rates dispute that.
You’ve debunked nothing 😬 I’m gonna leave now because I don’t believe you have proper reading comprehension to understand what was meant when we asked you about per capita and what the difference between correlation and causation is. If you’re trolling as someone with low IQ, you pull it off well
You specifically said that that gun free zones prevent crimes. I posted FACTS that proved you made it up. Show me the cities then. You are also not that bright because where there is a higher population you should expect more deaths. That is only common sense. So explain these liberal run cities always being the murder capitals year in and year out?
So just move the goalposts hoping you score a point? Nope. Its the 4th quarter and you are down 68-0 with three seconds left… just have dome pride and punt the ball. You still can’t answer a basic question. How do gun free zones stop criminals? The stats say they make things worse and that has always been the case in history
I have messaged you with links to three articles all just showing the raw data and conclusions. I can provide more and deeper explanations as to why these things happen and how to honestly show data if you actually want to learn, but the only real studies done (actual studies not random stats you push together to try to make something seem causal) show they don’t cause more shootings.
