Gun-Loving GOP Congressman From Nashville Torched For Response To School Shooting
Americas family
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), a gun rights proponent who represents the Nashville district that includes the school where six people were shot dead on Monday, has offered “thoughts and prayers” to the victims’ families.
The freshman congressman attracted swift backlash from Democrats, gun control advocates and other social media users, who highlighted a gun-glorifying Christmas photo he posted on Facebook in 2021. In the image, Ogles and his family, including children, pose with large firearms.
Abortion has nothing to do with this.
Little children are dying like dogs; some people love their automatics more than they give a damn about little children's lives. INNOCENT little wonderful children are being mowed down like dogs every week or so, and all the GOP can do is: worry about gun rights.
It's about sacrificing one's own desires for the sake of the innocent victims of our mistakes and the rotten society we made for these little saints.
Sure, it won't guarantee safety(it's gone too far in this sick macho-man country), but it's a start, and if sane gun control saves one child's life, it's worth it...
Humans can do without automatic lethal killing-machine firearms.

Another school shooting in Nashville, TN.
7 dead including the shooter, who was killed by police.
They are saying the shooter was a female, possibly a teenager who had multiple weapons.

I m confused.
How can all the news stories refer to this person as female, if the person in question used he/him pronouns?

Last point.
The point is gun lovers, for the sake of the epidemic of mass shootings should sacrifice their legal access to certain lethal firearms for the sake of the children and the general society.
That doesn’t include handguns, just the powerful lethal kind.
I can get in the weeds of automatic, semiautomatic, this, or that, but you get my point.
And the GOP needs to STOP voting against mental health programs that might help this situation
AND THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO BE MORE CONSCIOUS OF CRIME AND VIOLENCE AND THE FEAR OF IT.
Of course, some folks will obviously not want to sacrifice for the kids. Im talking about your kid, my kid, all of them.
Admittedly, in this case, since I’m not a gun guy, I won’t have to sacrifice, but still, I think it's what has to be done to make a dent in this horrible problem.
This has gone too far--- something's got to be done…
In a society where extreme problems occur, sometimes sacrifices of the citizens must come about. Such as in a war…
This is a war against a strange, elusive evil. We need all hands on deck.
Think of the children, folks. Their our children.

That's nonsense and illogical.
Have you committed murder or been in a war? Then what right do you have to comment on such things?
Or have you had a baby... I bet you are against abortion...
Anyway, I have studied guns and know enough.
It's the gun culture that is destroying this country slowly...
When are you folks going to get enough blood of children before you wake up and smell the SH___ you making in this country?
It is not the gun culture whatever you mean by that is destroying this country it's the undisciplined minds that want to be very destructive and take other people's lives no matter whether it's by a gun a machete a knife a bow and arrow or even poison darts.

You bring up a strawman issue.
You're pretending those weapons are needed for self-defense. Their not.
This is not Bosnia or the West Bank yet. But if this keeps up, it's the way it will be soon.
And never forget this::
There will always be someone with a bigger gun than yours.

It's a dead something for sure... Someone told me in another post what a transwoman was but I still can't remember... Is a transwoman someone transing FROM a woman, or TO a woman? All these labels are so confusing. WTH ever happened to man and woman? Much easier that way.
