MAGAcrime Gun violence is sole prerogative of MAGA thugs emboldened by QAnon kings & queens in Congress who spill garbage of hate, not only against LGTBQ but anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology of Christian nationalism

Never-ending!

The cops moved them out of shopping area but didn’t check for guns?

The moral rot in this country is the problem… let’s break it down even more by demographics

What are Republicans going to do starting in Jan 2023 to address the mass shootings when they control the House? Time is now to show American people what your proactive plan is. No place to hide anymore as people begin to assess for 2024

Its what the voters want

Why is NO ONE talking about this being a GEN Z problem⁉️⁉️⁉️ MAJORITY of the mass shootings have been committed by GEN Zs‼️‼️‼️‼️

And once again the official GOP response is:

That's usual thing in the US

I hear that 40.000 people have been killed in shootings this year. Is it true? If so, how come you go on doing the same? I would not let my kids go to school if I lived in US.

Defunding doesn’t work

Who else is sick of this?

Perp photo please.

Just another day in America. Crazy town

Fix the family. A man and woman with faith in God is what it takes to raise boys to be good men

Thug on thug killing rarely makes the news. No one who matters cares and It does nothing to further the leftist agenda.

Damn! It never ends.

But what race was the shooter? Oh right, despite being only 12.1% of the US population, 52% of all violent crime...

When Dems are in charge.

Nothing to see here - Sounds like well regulated militia activity to me.
