That’s not true. As has been pointed out in this thread multiple times, other countries who had mass shooting events immediately changed their gun laws to make it harder or impossible to obtain the we

The "we can't solve 100% of the problem so we shouldn't make any attempt at all" line of thinking is a big reason why we are where we are.

The orange plastic tips on the ends of the guns. Those are air soft, no?  I understand the heightened threat past of the tweet, not so much the cache pics. 

There was a story a week ago of Florida sherrifs getting fed up with constant school shooting threats with parents not punishing the kids, so the sheriffs are resorting to arresting and perp walking the kid and sort-of processing them. The drug bust-style gun spreads are a part of the shaming for kids who threaten their schools. The image included in this article:

The release came just days after the sheriff said he would start releasing the mug shots of students who are arrested for making school shooting threats; two teenagers and the 11-year-old child were taken into custody within the last few days.

"Since parents, you don't want to raise your kids, I'm gonna start raising them," Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said at a news conference Friday. "Every time we make an arrest, your kids' photo is going to be put out there and if I can do it, I'm gonna perp walk your kid so that everybody can see what your kid's up to."

On Monday, the sheriff's office announced the arrest of the 11-year-old Creekside Middle School student who allegedly threatened to commit a school shooting and had a "written list of people he claimed he would kill," authorities said.

The boy, of Port Orange, is accused of showing off "several weapons" during a video chat with friends and threatening to commit the shooting at Creekside or Silver Sands Middle School, the sheriff's office said in a news release. Detectives were alerted through Fortify Florida, which allows people to make anonymous reports of suspicious activity to law enforcement and school officials.

The sheriff’s office released the child’s name, mug shot and a video of him being escorted into the jail. NBC News is not naming the child or showing his picture because he is a minor.

Sheriff's office should release the parents' names.  

Honestly, I'm not opposed to re-instituting public shaming as a discipline device.

Unpopular opinion thread:

I know that the gun doesn't care how old its user is,  and I absolutely get why he needed to be taken into custody and charged. However,  that boy's booking photo should not have been released by the Sheriff's department, nor should it be on twitter- or here for that matter.

Unless you look ethnic...then carry on.

Yes, they appear to be air soft. Here's the Florida statute.  It's interesting that the use of a air soft gun by someone under 16 is prohibited, but apparently not the possession.  However, an adult is criminally responsible even if someone under 16 only possesses.

Holy fuck, the elected sheriff is the killer? Without looking, I'm going to assume that his social media activity is very, very MAGA/Trumpy.

Kentucky State Police and Letcher County Coroner Perry Fowler were still at the Letcher County Courthouse at 5 p.m. today investigating the shooting death of Letcher District Judge Kevin D. Mullins, apparently by the Letcher County Sheriff.

Officials say Sheriff Mickey Stines was arrested after surrendering himself to police. The shooting occurred in the judge’s chambers about 3 p.m. this afternoon (September 19).

Police had Main Street in Whitesburg cordoned off and were shooing citizens off the streets around it.

Stines allegedly walked into the judge’s outer office, told court employees and others gathered there that he needed to speak with Mullins alone. The two then went into the inner office, closed the door and those outside heard shots. Stines walked out with his hands up and surrendered to police.

Court employees were on the sidewalk outside the courthouse in shock following the shooting. Stines was handcuffed in the foyer of the courthouse. Officials expected the investigation to continue for several more hours.

$10 says the judge was getting his gavel polished by Mrs. Sheriff.

 

Not sure that one is gonna hit precisely, but there certainly seem to be something kinda fucky going on in Kentucky. Excerpt, but some of the further information in the article draws out some of the connections. Sheriff was caught up in some lawsuits over this. 
 

https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/crime/2022/02/01/kentucky-woman-says-deputy-forced-her-have-sex-judges-chambers/9289211002/

A Kentucky woman says in a federal lawsuit that when she couldn't afford to pay for home incarceration a Letcher County deputy sheriff told her she would receive “favorable treatment for sexual favors.” 

In the suit filed Monday in U.S. District Court, Sabrina Adkins says Deputy Ben Fields met her in a district judge’s chambers late at night six times last year and forced her to engage in unwanted kissing, oral sex and intercourse. 
…

Letcher County Sheriff Mickey Stines, who is named as a defendant in the suit for allegedly failing to properly train Fields, said in an interview Fields is a veteran deputy and has not been the subject of any previous complaints. 

The suit says the abuse occurred in the chamber of District Judge Kevin Mullins but doesn’t say he was aware of it or allege he was involved in any wrongdoing. Mullins did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Birmingham police said multiple people fired multiple shots on a group of people just after 11 p.m. Saturday night in Birmingham Five Points South. It happened outside Hush, a hookah and cigar lounge on Magnolia Avenue.

Police believe the shooting was not random and stemmed from an isolated incident. Multiple people were caught in the crossfire, and right now, police are trying to identify the intended target.

A total of 22 people were shot. Among the 18 who survived, their injuries range from non-life-threatening to life-threatening.

Scariest part of the Birmingham shooting is how easy it is to convert a Glock to full auto. 

They are investigating this as some sort of hit on an individual target.  That having been said, the shooters sure as hell didn't care about any collateral damage.

Not even a little. 

Interesting where this happened, Five Points area in Birmingham, is (or at least was, it's been a while since I've been there) a hip and trendy night life area, generally it has young people partying shenanigans, but nothing like this.

Exactly, Herbie Hancock was all, “Bros we must have full auto glocks with 100 round drum mags for our freedoms!” Today just like in 1776!

Went down the rabbit hole on the story links. Instead of finding a few spent shells there are hundreds. I figured they had aftermarket drum magazines but dang,  that's a lot of lead heading down range.

Twenty bucks will buy a switch.

SIAP

I couldn't find a thread with this, and not sure it belongs here, but the father killed by his 15-year-old son in Washington yesterday was a Longhorn by the name of Mark Humiston (2004, EE). 

Teen accused of killing 5 in Fall City expected to appear in court Tuesday

In addition to killing his mom and dad, he killed 3 of his 4 siblings.

Fucking tragic.
