General Discussion Forum / Re: Nashville school shooting: Multiple people injured, shooter dead
« on: March 28, 2023, 11:13:32 AM »
……….guys, here is a the freaking GOVERNOR of Tennessee issuing a statement in the wake of yesterday’s HORRIFIC school shooting, offering the standard “prayers,” but doesn’t mention the word “shooting” in the statement. He refers to it as the “situation”. My Gawd.
At SOME point, the good, fine, Christian white folks in Tennessee, and across these fruited plains, have simply got to STOP electing these SOULLESS people to public office. Their policies are endangering our babies in school. Each of yesterday’s children shot dead was 9 years old. One of the three adults killed was the school janitor, a brutha, so this affects us ALL

………yeah. Alum, just a couple of hours or so ago, there was an NPR report suggesting that even avid gun lovers are anguished about the lack of progress on gun control. It’s now COMPLETELY out of control, and no one seems to know how to fix. 
......GK, I agree with you. Not exactly certain who is playing who on Saturday, but you gotta believe CBS - who I THINK is broadcasting the Final Four games - is praying that SOMEHOW Connecticut makes it to the championship game. I really don't think they wanna see one of the Florida schools matched up against San Diego State in the championship game. Just don't see blockbuster ratings for such a matchup. 
......well, its hard to push back against this point of view. Especially salient is the very last sentence of this post. As a matter of fact, I believe the legislature in Rocky Top either this session or last session passed what is generally known as "constitutional carry" on gun laws. The theory here being that people in this state don't need a "gun permit" to carry firearms because to do so is inherent in our "constitutional rights". Of course when you hear mofos start talking about "constitutional rights," those who are believed to be entitled to those "rights" do NOT look like the overwhelming majority of people who commune on this board. 
That is just a freaking cop out. "Stop praying and do something!"
......you've said it all, Big Cap. Don't know which "Tenn. elected official" you were referring to, but the MAGGAT governor has asked that people "send prayers"..........Translation: Anybody who thinks I or the MAGGATS in the state legislature will do ANYTHING about these assault rifles, etc., must be sipping on some Uncle Nearest or one of the other fine Tennessee "spirits".
