    “ The youngest victim in the shooting was 8 years old and two female victims were discovered in the bedroom lying on top of two surviving children, authorities told ABC News.

    Police said they believe the massacre occurred after neighbors asked the suspect to stop shooting his gun in the front yard because there was a baby trying to sleep.”

    But let's relax all gun control laws and make it easier for everyone and anyone to get and possess a gun and kill their neighbors.

    Seriously I want some gun owners on here who are against gun control to defend this.

    The majority of Americans are in favor of tougher laws according to a poll by none other than Fox News: 

    Reduce Gun Violence Poll

    “The Reduce Gun Violence Poll (Fox News)

    Roughly, three-quarters favor requiring a 30-day wait period for all gun purchases (77%) and increasing the number of armed guards at schools/public venues (73%).

    Seven in 10 favor banning high-capacity ammunition clips (70%), while slightly less (63%) support banning assault weapons”

    https://www.foxnews.com/official-polls/fox-news-poll-voters-voice-support-gun-reform


    The gun lobby owns our government & these massacres are good for the bottom line. Nothing’s ever going to change.

    Whole lot of “responsibility” going on. From WaPo regarding the latest mass shooting in Tejas.

    “When I heard those gunshots, I didn’t think anything of it because in this neighborhood everyone has guns. Every weekend you hear gunshots,” she said in an interview in Spanish. “People shoot in their backyards, after they drink alcohol, men take out guns at house parties and shoot the ground.”

    Apparently we in the U.S. have become a nation of people who have to be careful about who we approach, as in if you aren't 100% sure you know someone, don't go near them.  Yes, I exaggerate.  But by how much?  We are a sick and twisted nation of people.

    ‘Fearful and trigger happy’: flooded with guns and paranoia, the US reels from shootings

    Permissive self-defense and gun laws spotlighted by recent shootings in which victims approached gunmen by mistake

    Sun 30 Apr 2023 01.00 EDT



    Waldes Thomas and Diamond Darville were driving for the grocery delivery service Instacart near Miami in mid-April when they drove the order up to the wrong address.

    Thomas, 19, and Darville, 18, reportedly told authorities they were backing away from the home when the owner emerged with his son, grabbed on to the driver’s window and fired a gun three times at their car. Antonio Caccavale, who didn’t hit anyone, later reportedly claimed to police who investigated the encounter that he shot because he feared for his and his son’s lives as Thomas and Darville’s car ran over his foot and struck a boulder.

    Eventually, police concluded everyone – including Caccavale – acted “justifiably based on the circumstances they perceived”, leading to no arrests.

    It remains to be seen whether the police’s interpretation of the case is the final word on the matter. A local prosecutor told ABC News in a statement that he would evaluate whether Caccavale should be charged, adding that “the safety of the entire Instacart community is incredibly important” to his office.

    Nonetheless, that case, along with a spate of recent shootings across the country which victimized Americans who approached property owners by mistake or for an otherwise innocent reason, did not only vividly illustrate how the US is flooded with guns. It all also showed how people who are made paranoid by the nation’s bitter political climate believe they can use guns with impunity thanks to firearms laws and self-defense statutes that in many states are remarkably permissive, according to experts who spoke with the Guardian this week.

    “A lot of people who shouldn’t have guns, who don’t need them, who don’t know how to use them safely … are fearful and trigger happy,” said the president of Global Action on Gun Violence, Jonathan Lowy. “And it’s inevitable that that will lead to tragedies like we’re seeing.”




    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    I have a question: there's no way there is all of a sudden this rash of "property murders" all over the country in the matter of a week or so. This has to have been happening already and the media is just picking up on it now?
    That is my guess. One story gets a lot of attention, so they focus on other like stories.

    That is my guess. One story gets a lot of attention, so they focus on other like stories.
    While I don't have data about "property murders" in particular, the most recent data available (from 2021), according to Pew Research shows an alarming increase in US gun murders (and suicides) over the last several years. Regardless of what the media focuses on, the rate of death by firearm (through 2021 at least), confirms things are only getting worse in this country. 

    https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/

    "The record 48,830 total gun deaths in 2021 reflect a 23% increase since 2019, before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.

    Gun murders, in particular, have climbed sharply during the pandemic, increasing 45% between 2019 and 2021, while the number of gun suicides rose 10% during that span.

    The overall increase in U.S. gun deaths since the beginning of the pandemic includes an especially stark rise in such fatalities among children and teens under the age of 18. Gun deaths among children and teens rose 50% in just two years, from 1,732 in 2019 to 2,590 in 2021."

    It’s a media driven agenda.
    your country is insane, but like I said, there's no way that this all started up at the same time around the country.

    I get the point that you're making, I genuinely do, but does it matter? 

    Which scenario is worse: that these kinds of things happen all the time in America and we don't normally talk about them, or that this is a new way people are getting killed by firearms in the US? 

    IMO both scenarios are equally grim, and regardless, the #s I posted above from the Pew Research center are the real story here, with this recent spate of property murders being a subtext to that.

    Random acts of violence are still very rare. You can reduce the risk even more by avoiding certain areas at certain times. While nothing is 100%, I certainly don't fear going out on my day to day life.

    But not Chicago? Cmon. Put your political bias to the side for one second man. Those videos from a few weeks ago…. Yea. No thanks. Doesn’t seem very welcoming.

    I’m not sure Illinois is as dangerous as Tejas or that Chicago is as dangerous as any city in Tejas with similar populations on a per 100,000 population basis but I do know that Tejas’ gun laws are way far less restrictive than Illinois’ but for indianer. Further, IMHO opinion, there are certain areas of Chicago you can avoid but in Tejas it’s the whole state you need to avoid.

    What videos from a few weeks ago did I miss?
