The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread

[tomcat]

A Waffle House, dude armed with an AR-15, people shot and killed

...and he was naked: interesting twist...

[cyrille]

Police also say he was naked except for a green jacket, which he shed as he left the scene.

Good thinking: blend in.

Reinking is from Morton, Illinois, and was known to both Illinois and federal law enforcement, Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said. A sheriff in Illinois said Reinking’s state firearms card was revoked after his arrest and his guns were given to his father with the promise they wouldn’t be shared with his son. Aaron said Reinking’s father had given them back to his son. Police said they were in possession of the AK-15 and another gun. Two others were unaccounted for.

Nashville mayor calls for gun reform after Waffle House shooting

The acting mayor of Nashville called for stricter gun control laws after a gunman killed four people at a Waffle House early Sunday morning.


"For a moment, let's be honest about what happened," David Briley (D) said at a news conference. "Last night, innocent Nashvilleans were terrorized by a man with an AR-15. Let's be honest. Some people see these weapons as having a purpose of terrorizing other people. It's happening too much. Enough is enough."


It has only been seven months since the last mass shooting in Nashville, Briley said.

i don't have a link but...

a couple of days ago a toddler sitting in the back seat of a car shot his/her mother (who was driving) through the seat.

the father left a loaded gun in the car and he was eventually charged with something.

btw, there was an infant in the back seat with that toddler.



ICYMI..... there are more guns in america than there are people.

there was an infant in the back seat with that toddler

Hope toddler was properly strapped in a car seat. Not safe unless so and it's the law.

Something very similar happened to this woman: Jamie Gilt, gun advocate, wannabe shooting instructor, and person not overly fussed about securing her guns or kid whilst driving apparently...

Jamie Gilt, gun advocate shot by her 4-year-old son, remains infamous six months later - News - The Florida Times-Union - Jacksonville, FL

The bit where the kids explains it was the Tyrannosaurus with assistance from a Velociraptor that shot his mum is actually kinda cute / funny though.

And what's worse is that they are all in the hand of a minority, mostly poorly educated Trumpanzees and psychopaths.

...of course: thanks to the daily massacres...

Another little one gone:

Ohio police are investigating the fatal shooting of a 2-year-old girl. The toddler's mother told authorities that she was handling a handgun on Friday night when it slipped from her hands and fired a bullet that struck the child in the chest, according to a statement.


Police said the shooting happened inside a hotel room at Econo Lodge Wickliffe-Cleveland East, about 16 miles from Cleveland. Emergency responders rushed the girl to the hospital, where doctors said the toddler died from a gunshot wound to the chest.


Police have said the incident appears to be an accident. The mother was a registered gun owner and had a concealed carry permit, local news reports stated.
"The safety was on when I dropped the gun and the bullet shot her," the mother said in a 911 call, obtained by WEWS-TV. "The gun dropped, I dropped my gun. She's gone. My baby's gone. She's not breathing at all. She's gone."
Police in Wickliffe, Ohio did not release the identity of the young child or her mother. No further information was immediately available.


More than 150 children have been killed or injured in shootings in 2018, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that tracks shootings.




Ohio is one of the more lax states when it comes to firearm restrictions, according to the National Rifle Association. In the wake of the Parkland, Florida high school shooting, however, Ohio lawmakers have moved forward with additional gun control legislation. Such measures include tightening background checks and introducing so-called "red flag" laws, which could allow authorities to confiscate firearms belonging to people who pose an immediate threat to themselves or others.


The legislation signals a pivot from Governor John Kasich's past positions. He was once endorsed by the National Rifle Association and boasted on his website about supporting "every pro-2nd Amendment bill" that has crossed his desk. Recently, the governor urged President Donald Trump to take steps to strengthen gun control laws. His website was also updated to include a section on "common-sense" gun reform, a move criticized by conservative media.


On Monday, the Republican lawmaker tweeted that he planned to take additional steps to bolster the National Criminal Background Check system.
"In too many communities, convictions aren’t uploaded to the National Criminal Background Check system as they should be," Kasich said. "This afternoon, I’ll take action to help close this gap to keep weapons out of the wrong hands in our state."

Mother Accidentally Shoots, Kills Toddler

Something wrong with this story not a single 'thoughts and prayers'

[Pragmatic]

"The safety was on when I dropped the gun and the bullet shot her,"

Why the fcuk was she walking around with a gun that had a bullet in the chamber and was cocked?

[bobo746]

^ Because it's the American way.

[Troy]

Let's get this straight, 150 kids killed or injured in the last 114 days. That is almost on the same scale as a fooking war zone.

A combination of stupidity and arrogance with only a hint of civilisation...

[buriramboy]

All these innocent Seppos getting killed and bsnub is still amongst us, truly no justice in this evil world.

USA! USA! You can prise my gun from my mentally ill cold dead hands after I've shot a few of the neighbours etc.

A man has shot dead three of his neighbors and killed himself after his wife allegedly fled their home where he had been holding her captive for days.
Christopher Wilson Snyder, 41, shot himself after a tense seven-hour long standoff with police after he stormed his neighbors' house in Montgomery County, Maryland.

His wife claimed that she had run to the nearby house for refuge - but he followed her into the property killing three of the six people inside.

The other three, including his wife, managed to escape and Snyder ran back to his own house soon after - barricading himself in the property as cops rushed to the scene at 4pm on Monday.

Robert's got a quick hand
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid
Yeah found a six shooter gun
In his dad's closet hidden oh in a box of fun things, I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, out run my gun

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
