Well, they tried everything they could.
You know, we could wrap our arms around the “arms” and throw them into the smelter.

Just weeks after he takes no action on a bill that makes Kentucky a “2nd Amendment Sanctuary State” and prohibits state and local law enforcement from complying with federal gun control legislation.
In other words, fuck him and his bullshit tears.
JFC.
The shooting was unrelated to a mass shooting earlier that morning at the Old National Bank building, about 1.5 miles away, LMPD Maj. Russell Miller said.
If he still refuses to consider any meaningful gun control I hope the family members of his friends spit on him if he tries to attend their funerals.
The Onion may need to start laying off employees since they rerun the same story nearly every day.

As he appears to have no shame they could save their energy.
Can we make banks illegal? Or require anyone who enters a bank to have a gun so that no crime can happen there?
Something about doors, too.
if he changes his position now, it’ll mean he could have saved his friends from their deaths. which, while true, would be a hard pill for someone like him.
he’ll find someone to blame for sure. but it won’t be himself or his own actions
Clearly the absence of god in america’s banks is the cause of this tragedy. T&P
But they’re friends!
American gun culture is truly deranged, as is the party that embraces it.
Clearly the solution is to arm tellers right?
Time to change the “in god we trust” written on the money to “in supply side Jesus we transact”
Our bodies and minds are not meant to endure what now?
Guns Kill Kids. Gun Control Now.
It’s April 10, 2023. Today’s school shooting is at Jefferson Community and Technical College/Technical Campus community college in Louisville Kentucky.
I wear this shirt when there is a school shooting. I wear it a lot these days.
So far this year there have been 146 #MassShootings

Republicans have a supermajority in Kentucky state legislature and definitely would have voted to override the governor’s veto. Louisville and Lexington have enough voters to swing the governorship to Democrats sometimes, but Republicans can pass whatever they want since Kentucky has 120 counties, mostly rural and heavily Republican.
There’s a history of the legislature responding to a mass shooting tragedy by eliminating more gun controls. You can open carry a firearm at the Kentucky State Capitol but can’t bring in a knife.
