1) I am being facetious ... But this is how I see the USA now. A place that has so many guns and so much ammunition that once the shooting starts there will be carnage.
The video has no bloodshed but listen to the shots from what may be a rifle like an AR15. When you listen, understand that earlier, at 9:30 children and dogs had THEIR small parade before they joined their parents to view the main parade.
The shots started at 10:20...
Children were injured and thus far 40 people were transported to hospitals, 5 dead on scene and one died enroute.
'There have been 11 mass shootings in the first four days of July, including three on July 4 alone, in Richmond, Virginia; Chicago and Highland Park, according to the Gun Violence Archive.'
'The incident marks at least the 308th mass shooting in the US this year, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit tracking such incidents. The organization defines a mass shooting as involving four or more people shot, not including the shooter.' https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/04/us/highland-park-illinois-shooting-july-4-parade/index.html
The NRA does not respond to mass shootings or any shooting. It was not the guns, it was the person. But hey! Happy 4th you to the gun nuts~!
'Happy 4th of July, America! We are a country because of brave souls with guns who valued and fought for liberty and freedom. ~ The NRA
The NRA’s official annual meeting social media account used pictures of babies wearing gun themed onesies to promote the NRA convention
I am going to update with a reminder that the RWNJs are still pretending that anyone with colorful tattoos and hair have to be antifa and so the shooter in Highland park had both = antifa.
Just yesterday, the folks at the DOJ must have gotten reminders from pissed off Dems that 2 such people were not only not Dems or antifa, but die hard and disgusting MAGAs. (Both were reported to the FBI last year) If you see such lies, here are some pictures of 2 of the precious and perfect white supremacist insurrectionists.
Here is their DOJ and online info should anyone disbelieve you.
1) John Thomas Gordon, West Virginia. Charges include felony counts of civil disorder and destruction of government property. Police officers were on the other side of the glass window in the door, attempting to secure the building. Gordon repeatedly threw a hard object at the North Door.

People have said that images or video of these events, of the dead and wounded, should be made public.
I agree.
Obviously there are strong arguments about privacy, etc. but I feel it might move the needle.
Funny how the NRA doesn’t talk about how Russia infiltrated them with a cliché sexy spy. How they fell all over themselves and everybody wanted to be seen with the Russian agent illegally funneling money into republican accounts that Russia wanted to support TO FUCK OVER THE USA. The NRA was an unwitting accomplice to a Russian plot to install Russia-friendly politicians and those who would hobble and disadvantage the USA in the world. Great job NRA. Such patriots. Such patriotism. Such stupidity. Such gullibility. Fuck the NRA.
I do not have a TV so get news late. Sorry if you all had seen this, but I had to add this update. Marjorie 3-toes Greene should NOT have survived the efforts to have her removed from the Ballot. Here she is calling the death of 7 people in Highland park a false flag to get Republicans onside for gun control. I won't say more as I will curse non stop and get my blood pressure soaring. Feel free to do so in the replies, although there are no words that suitably describe this horror show who dares to call herself a woman... .
