The trial for the dad is going to be a TV event if they try him in state court.

I think it might create a public conversation about gun control more than any of the other shootings because it will be entertaining for us.

Could the kid's as well since they're trying him as an adult?

I’m sure.

I just think the dad’s trial is going to be more controversial.

 

[Nebaghead]

I am going to assume the kid will plea since he is confessing.

Another thought is no politicians will do anything about this until it happens to them. The Brady Bill only happened because of the assassination attempt on Reagan. Politicians knew Jim Brady so there was a personal involvement that made this legislation possible.

Of course, tangentially related, this is the type of family that JD Vance seems to hold up as a model for everyone. Parents who obviously have done a great job raising a kid.

And, yes, until it happens to a politician’s kids nothing gets done.

I think we might even passed the personal experience causing change. Trump almost got whacked, and he says nothing about gun control. Heck, a big part of why Republicans moved on from that so fast is the obvious questions that arose from that sitation. Why can a kid buy a gun but not a beer? Why do we allow open carry?

That's some easy, and basic regulation. Republicans would literally rather die then change gun laws.

I've said before but let there be a shooting at Sidwell Friends (DC private school, where many politicians kids go) and your see some changes then

I didn’t realize that about the safe storage laws, why would you oppose that?

Interesting that this woman spells out gun instead of saying it

If God was going to solve this problem for us he would have done so already. I think the message from God is that we need to figure this out on our own.

Or as the joke basically goes, at least buy a lottery ticket if you want me to help you win the lottery.

Duh!?! Because it takes too long to get your g u n out of safe storage when you've got to defend yourself from all those people who are always breaking into our houses while we're home. /sarcasm

She probably spells it just to make a point about how you can't even say the word gun without getting shouted down.

It also might be her getting ahead of the day AI bots are used by propagandists to comb through internet content looking and listening for keywords, so they can use AI bots to harass and shout down everyone any time they dare say something that goes against their propaganda. It might even be happening already.

I was thinking it was either to avoid getting flagged by gun nuts to try to force YouTube to remove her content or for (no pun intended) trigger warning purposes.

I guess we will never make it to a time where we could talk about guns.

Twitterverse is saying dude was out on bail for making threats when he purchased the weapon used, but I cannot find any real reports of that being true.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Election officials in Memphis decided Tuesday to leave three gun control questions off the November ballot after top Republican state leaders threatened to withhold tens of millions of dollars in state funding.

On Monday, Tennessee’s election coordinator, Mark Goins, sent a letter to the Shelby County Election Commission warning that the gun control measures violated several of Tennessee’s laws, making them void and ineligible to be placed on the ballot. The letter was sent hours after House Speaker Cameron Sexton and Senate Speaker Randy McNally issued their state funding ultimatum.

Goins added that “unequivocable declarations by the General Assembly” left “no authority” for Memphis officials to propose such amendments to the city’s charter. Goins also raised concerns that the city had not properly followed the public notice procedures required to put a referendum on the Nov. 5 ballot..........

Gun control initiatives to be left off Memphis ballot after GOP threat to withhold funds

Election officials in Memphis have decided to leave three gun control questions off the November ballot after top Republican state leaders threatened to withhold tens of millions of dollars in state funding.

apnews.com

A Tennessee judge has ruled that three gun controlquestions can go on the November ballot in Memphis, even as top Republican state leaders have threatened to withhold tens of millions of dollars in state funding should city leaders put the initiative before voters.

The Daily Memphian reports that Shelby county chancellor Melanie Taylor Jefferson sided with the Memphis city council, which sued the Shelby county election commission last month for refusing to put gun control measures on the ballot.

In August, the election commission announced they could not place the questions on the ballot because the secretary of state’s office had warned they violated several of Tennessee’s laws, making them void and ineligible. In response, the Memphis city council filed a complaint requesting that a judge overrule the commission’s decision.…..

Colin Gray, the father of Apalachee High School shooting suspect Colt Gray, has filed a motion to be separated from the other inmates in jail after getting an “incalculable number of threats.”

Gray is accused of giving his son an AR-15-style firearm as a Christmas gift last year, months after the FBI interviewed the father and son over threats he allegedly made online about school shootings.

That gun was allegedly used in the attack at the Georgia school on September 4 that killed two students and two teachers.


Gray is charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter and is being held without bond at the Barrow County Detention Center.

In the motion 11Alive obtained from the Superior Court of Barrow County, Gray’s attorneys have asked for him to be separated from the general population for safety reasons.……
