Another school shooting...more children dead.
#1
The shooter was a female, which in and of itself is odd.

She shot her way in through a locked door...so there goes that talking point.

It was a religious school so there goes that talking point about "bringing god back" when offering thoughts and prayers.

Republicans voted against funding more/better mental health resources for students so there goes that.

So, what are left with?

Quote:'The Onion' has republished a grim headline about mass shootings 21 times since 2014

May 25, 20223:00 PM ET




There are a couple of inevitable responses to a mass shooting in America: funerals and fundraisers, prayers from politicians and the resurfacing of one particular article from satirical site The Onion.


"'No Way To Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens" has been republished 21 times in almost exactly eight years.

Its headline has remained the same for every major mass shooting from Isla Vista, Calif., in 2014 to Tuesday's school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The main image, and basic facts about the shooting, are updated every time.



It always quotes a fictional resident of that state lamenting a tragedy they describe as inevitable:



"This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there's nothing anyone can do to stop them," the person says. "It's a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn't anything that was going to keep this individual from snapping and killing a lot of people if that's what they really wanted."


And that was year ago...


Anyone have any other suggestions?  I'm out of them.  I believe in your 2A right.  So what can we do other than just keep mourning?
