    For anyone wondering about Georgia’s gun control laws:

    -No background checks

    -No purchase permit laws

    -K-12 teachers are allowed to carry

    -No red flag laws

    -No bans on high capacity magazines

    -No secured gun storage required

    -Open carry / no concealed carry permit required

    -No ghost gun regulations

    -People with assault or violent misdemeanors can carry guns

    -Colleges and universities must allow guns on campus

    -Minors can possess rifles and shotguns

    But Brian Kemp is urging all Georgians to pray for the safety of those in the classroom!!

      I thoroughly despise living in Georgia. There are so many gun-fetishist, uneducated, redneck morons who live near me that I have, at times, felt like I was literally suffocating.

      The moment I can move, I will get the hell out of this hell-hole of a state. The only good thing you can even say about it is that it’s not as bad as Florida — where there are just as many idiots, but also sweat running down cracks you didn’t know you had.

      And having a kid in school, this is one of my worst fears as a parent. The sheer helplessness those parents must feel right now, it’s both mind-boggling and maddening.

      Fuck Georgia. Fuck the USA. Fuck the piece of shits who value their guns over children. And fuck anyone who believes that the cost of their own freedom is watching as children are murdered in the classroom.

      Red flag laws will open floodgates of abuse to accuse anyone of being unstable based merely on perceptions. Not sure I trust those. But in general you made a great list.

    “I was scared because I’ve never been in a school shooting,” he told ABC News.

    Schools will be closed through the end of the week, the superintendent said.

    Only in America can 2 of your teachers and 2 of your classmates be shot dead. And they are like we are only giving you 2 days off while we clean this up, but hey we will be ready to go Monday.

    I guess along with those active shooter drills they also got an active shooter cleanup plan.

      I saw this story earlier.

      It was under the one about Steve Doocy asking a dumb question.

      America has reached the point where mass shootings in schools are barely newsworthy.

      Remember the days when a story like this was shocking? Now it’s not even a surprise, nevermind a shock.

    Literally the ONLY ONLY ONLY way to have Prevented ANY kids from Dying was if SOMEONE KILLED the Gunman BEFORE he killed anyone else! That’s LITERALLY the only way we could have saved ALL those people from Dying!
