That’s good- it’s always good to leave a comment on these sort of things I think just to reinforce their position if nothing else tbh.

There was a mass shooting at a senior living facility in Westerly in 2019. 4 people shot but that included the shooter so I guess it didn’t make this definition. But you do see it on some lists.

I did too. Thankfully our senators are already on board with S.25 but I urged them to do everything they can.

I agree but I’ll take whatever we can get as a mom for two kids. I’m terrified to send them to school to be sitting ducks.

Haha and if you think we're talking those measley slinking coyotes you've seen on Westerns -- Noo0O0ooo! These are big Eastern coyotes crossed at some point with wolves, and yes, fattened on outdoor cats

Religion is NOT what I seek, but peace... a peace that surpasses all understanding. I seek not to exalt myself above others but to be a blessing to humanity.

I called both senators and my rep as well today and basically said it’s only a matter of time before we have one in RI. Dear god will our congress do literally anything? I can’t even imagine what would have to happen for the total dereliction of duty to stop.

I’m sorry, but what the fuck does this have to do with what’s above. I see what you’re saying, most gun violence is actually suicide, okay. What we are discussing is that “95% of school shootings (school shootings is the main keyword here) are gang related with illegal firearms.” You didn’t bring anything relevant to that. Thanks for the suicide rate of gun deaths, but not even remotely close to what the discussion is about. Are 95% of school shootings gang related? Are 95% of school shootings with illegal firearms? From my understanding, and again I don’t have anything to back it up, just what I have gathered over the years from news outlets, is most of these are lone-wolf shooters who actually have legally owned guns. I want to see where this statistic is, not the suicide rate. Thanks anyhow.
