Just found out that one of them killed was a Xavier alum ‘05 Josh Barrick. Can we stop this shit now?

Did you see a list of victims somewhere? Decent chance I've got some sort of connection to one or more of them.

Excuse the spellings because I’m unsure of a couple but:

Josh Barrick
Tommy Elliott
Juliana farmer

I’m pretty sure Josh also was a st x grad as one of my buddies here knew him from high school. Married with two young kids

Are the ones I know of. Names should be released in next few minutes

Josh was a Trinity grad according to LinkedIn.

For better or worse, the others seem to be old enough to fall outside my potential network.

Not just the guns that are the problem, but it’s a big problem. Gun regulation is certainly one and needs to be done immediately. And no not just semi automatic or the typical bs we hear every time.

The pussification of America and people not accepting and dealing with bad things in their lives properly is another problem—-this guy apparently just lost his job and decided to deal with it by killing former co workers

Third, mental health needs to be where America spends their money. This shit needs to stop. I mean seriously wtf

I totally agree but these politicians couldn’t get anything done with a pile of dead children in a Connecticut school. If dead children does not bother them, not much will. Mental Health is only going to get worse in this country and the combination of mentally ill people and guns is a scary thought.

Propose an Amendment to repeal the 2nd. Otherwise this is an emotional conversation and one that needs to happen.

Edit: you do realize a revolver is a semi-automatic pistol…

As I implied, I donÂ’t give a crap about the type of gun. It doesnÂ’t matter.

IÂ’ll tell you one thingÂ… our founding fathers are turning over in their graves at how stupid we have all become. We allow our repugnant politicians to bow down to stupid lobbyist groups like the nra for the almighty dollar. There is zero excuse for how easy it is to obtain a gun, zero excuse for the pussification of America that thinks protecting kids from failing is a good thing, and zero excuse for how we have dealt with mental health the last 30 or so years.

I’m effing pissed, and our “leaders” don’t give a shit

Calm down and I assume this hit close to home for you.

The NRA isn’t the problem. People looking to Gov’t to solve them is.

Yes, the nra is part of the problem. Considering govt is the one that can create and pass laws, they need to be part of the solution.

Really whY is everyone surprised here? Everyone said mental health issues would dramatically increase due to the stupid covid lockdowns. Now we expect the govt to fix the problem they created? Good luck with that
