EDITORIAL: A fill-in-the-blanks massacre

It's the same story over and over. And America's response is growing more and more predictable.

Wednesday, February 21, 2018

Clip this editorial and hang onto it for the next time someone shoots up a school or a workplace or a country-western music festival. We can fill in the blanks together as political leaders compose “thoughts and prayers” before doing nothing about gun violence:

__________________________________________________________________________

ONCE AGAIN,  a single person armed as if for military battle slaughtered the innocent and unsuspecting as ________, an act that leaves a murder-weary nation wondering what it will take for political leaders in Washington to act to protect the lives of those who elected them. This massacre, which occurred at __________, is the ____ mass shooting since the 1999 Columbine High School massacre. Once again, investigators are rummaging through the alleged killer's life for clues about what motivated the rampage. They're also turning up multiple red flags that, had they not been ignored, could have prevented violent thoughts from turning into a deadly deed.

One question, always, is whether the gunman obtained his firearms legally. At age ____ and with no diagnosed mental illness, ______ was able to buy his _______-caliber, _______ assault-style weapons legally in _________. Although _____'s neighbors and acquaintances said there were plenty of signals, the alleged killer had never been arrested nor was he the subject of a restraining order that might have made him ineligible to own the firearms. But in truth, such limits are too elastic to be a significant deterrent. Had _______ been ineligible to buy the weapons through a federally licensed gun shop, he could have turned to private sales at gun shows or over the internet, where background checks are not required.

Reaction to the latest massacre was swift. Lawmakers mouthed empty words of sympathy, the NRA quieted its Twitter account, gun-control advocates howled at the moon (and with just as much effect). President Trump waited a day and then blamed the Democrats and President Obama for the killing. In truth, the best the nation gets is some initial spark of resolve and the occasional proposed reform that goes nowhere.

Meanwhile, a community mourns. Among the dead was ________, who bravely tried to step between ______ and his victims, hoping to protect them from bullets fired at a rapid rate. __________ was struck ______ times, but by throwing himself at the gunman, authorities say, he gave ________ a few extra seconds to flee. It was a heroic act, to be sure, one that likely will be mentioned at his funeral next week — a funeral that would not be occurring were it not for the easy availability of weapons of war.


__________________________________________________________________________

Will this time be different? Will this atrocity finally spur the hard hearts in Washington to take steps to reduce the easy availability of military-style weapons? Don't hold your breath.

Donald Trump sure is a stupid, mentally-retarded idiot. Tom Scott sure hit the nail right on the head with his cartoon published in today's Dominion Post newspaper....

scott is an idiot like you
Trump said he will look into teachers experienced with military or ex police training to have concealed carry
due to the fact it takes at the least 8 min until the police arrive at a school and by that time the damage has be done.

Hardening the target is a good plan

next crazed gunman will need to find a gun free zone to hit

Bringing in gun laws similar to New Zealand and Australia will fix the problem.

After all, we don't have mass shootings every week like they do in America.

Which shows that our strict gun laws actually work.

Fortunately for America, young people are now organising against the NRA, the corrupt politicians who have the NRA in their pockets, and the gun lobby in general. Just like young people started the anti-Vietnam War movement which eventually prevailed against the U.S. government, so it will be with today's young people railing against America's fucked-in-the-head gun culture. Notice how the NRA is panicking and is indulging in a smear campaign against the young people of America, who obviously have the NRA running scared, because the NRA can see that those young people have started something which is going to continue to grow.

Meanwhile, stupid fuckwits in Woodville (such as yourself) and other small towns are sitting on the sidelines spouting a load of faeces.
