Gun Violence - Blog Posts
When I was in highschool, the “weird kid” was a guy who thought he was a vampire werewolf hybrid. He was aggressive and hostile, and the people who tried to be nice to him,(myself included) saw first hand how psychotic he was. He choked one of my friends, tried to attack a girl I hung out with, ran around campus snarling at people and jumping off roofs, and constantly got into fights with anyone who so much as talked back to him.
Saying that the victims from Parkland shooting are at fault because they didn’t befriend the shooter is incredibly short sided and a perfect example of victim blaming. Sometimes the weird kid is toxic and violent, or racist and homophobic. Nobody should have to be forced or guilted into bringing that type of toxicity into their lives.
Also, please don’t pretend that you really care about the weird kid all of a sudden. We all can see that you are trying whatever bs tactic you can think of to distract from the bigger issue at hand; gun violence and gun control in America.
STOP BLAMING THE VICTIMS AND STOP TRYING TO BULLY KIDS INTO SILENCE!
Hounds of Death (2022)
Trump is going to be like “guys, I got shot for America! And also here’s my million dollar donation from the NRA”
My sister told me a story that I can't stop thinking about in the wake of all this. When she was in first grade they had an active shooter drill, only no one was informed it was drill. There was some mix up with the codes or something. Anyway the point is they all thought it was real. My sister says she remembers the teacher very quietly telling the class that there was an active shooter in the building and that this was not a drill. She says she remembers hearing screaming and crying from kids down the hall. She told me they all had to put on bright orange bullet proof vests and she remembers thinking that the color would only make it easier for the shooter to spot them. She remembers being scared. She remembers seeing someone walking up the hall through the heavily tinted glass. They kept trying to open the door and my little sister said she genuinely thought she was going to die. She was terrified she would never see me or my mom again.
It ended up being the principal coming to tell them that it was just a drill but it was a little too late in my opinion. That fear my sister and her classmates experience was real even if the threat wasn't and that memory is something she still carries with her.
We have to do better.
Republicans are more concerned with denying people bodily autonomy and keeping kids from learning prejudice exists than doing anything to keep those same kids from being shot by the guns they want everyone to have
They also seem to think that children are not mature enough to handle the existence of non cis/hetero people , but they are mature enough to live with the constant danger of a stranger busting into their classroom and ending their young lives
I feel sick.

In the United States 🇺🇸, there are 2 sides of the aisle on the resolve of gun violence – gun deaths that killed tens of thousands every year or firearm injury that affects up to 70,000 yearly).
One advocates for more gun control (common sense), while another believes in more gun rights. The latter may sound counter-intuitive, but with proper research, I realised their belief is justified.
There is only 156 mass shootings in 2016, and a total deaths of ~800
Unlike the partisan narrative that some try to push, gun violence is less severe than how it is purported. This allows the Conservatives to dismiss statistics as “rubbish” and biased. Most of the gun violence deaths are suicidals, and mental health is a whole new category. Even if gun is banned, and a person determined to self-kill, it won’t stop the person from doing so.
Gun Right advocates also believe that more guns could be more effective in stopping mass shootings. For example, in the event of a rogue actor trying to carry out mass killing in the public, an armed Samaritan could come out to quash the shooter while waiting for police’s arrival. This helps to mitigate casualties and fatal deaths. Here are some real-world cases of aforementioned possibility.
As a result, unless guns are universally banned in the country and rigorously enforced, partial or compromises are ineffective and counterproductive to gun violence homicides or mass shootings.
Nonetheless, Gun Right advocates are also hell-bent on the solution of more guns to reduce gun violence deaths. Opposition would point to the success model of Japan and Australia of eliminating gun deaths by banning it and gun buyback programs to reduce firearms in circulation as their statistics. Unfortunately, Gun Rights also have their own statistics to substantiate their point.
If you look carefully, more guns ownership have no correlation to more gun deaths.
It is just the way of how we present the same piece of information.
Hence, that is why Gun Right advocates think to the contrary of the rest of the world and maybe this phenomenon is caused by the fact that criminals do not voluntarily relinquish their access to firearms and therefore an inadequate gun buyback or restriction program will instead put those law-abiders in greater danger. Gun prohibition is only effective in the long-term.
how many more fucking kids have to die in school because these selfish ass lawmakers don’t see the the importance of making stricter gun laws
Dude why is it that every time something bad happens at my school it’s ALWAYS in October. I fucking love October but what the fuck :(
“In light of these events, we create this petition to demand justice for Jesus, Brenda, and their families. Although Mike and Mark Sheppard were charged with manslaughter, they have already paid bail and are back on the streets. The fact these men will potentially get away with a slap on the wrist is an insult to the victims and their families. We therefore ask that local and state authorities elevate the charges against Mark and Mark and revoke their bail. We also ask that the federal government bring charges and investigate the matter as a hate crime. Justice must be served.”
🎊Happy 51 mass shootings, 2025!🎊
Happy 501 Mass shootings, 2024!
Quotes from Long way down by Jason Reynolds
This has been an idea I’ve been meaning to implement for a while...and by a while, I mean a few years now. For a while, I didn’t have the emotional fortitude to think about it, let alone sitting down and actually making it.
I still don’t think that this does a whole lot of justice regarding the sheer devastation I feel towards gun violence at this point in my life, but at least I finally gathered the guts to make this today. In a sense, I’d like to think that I’m not as plagued with the idea as I was now that I’ve let this come into existence.
Oh, by the way — I did listen to Childish Gambino’s This Is America while working on this.
