So I'll just gobble up the excitement like when you see a bad car wreck and you want to check how bad the people were hurt (as a gawker even when you can't do anything to help)

It’s not taking away from your rights to do what you do on stage being a drag performer. Do not push the envelope where it’s not necessary. People are inherently protective of children regardless of who or what the situation. Nobody needs to be provoking the far right or concerned parents into accepting drag performers as a part of the classroom.

So a cop was shot in the head and is in critical condition. Why the fuck was he not wearing a helmet? If you demand cops run into the middle of a mass shootings at least provide them with protective equipment. This is fucking unacceptable.
And people wonder why there’s a police shortage. Why are people not rushing to become cops? Fuck this.

There are 400,000,000 guns in this country. 'Banning guns!' is simply a non-starter for logistical reasons, quite aside from everything else. Even were they to be banned, 'phantom' handguns can now be 3D printed at absolute minimal cost, so fireaarms will always be available to those who want them badly enough.

Not just republicans,
[quote] Sanders won the race and kept his promise. He was an occasional ally to the NRA, repeatedly voting against the Brady Bill, which mandated waiting periods and background checks; opposing funding for gun violence research; and voting to protect gun manufacturers and retailers from lawsuits.
[quote] He also honored his commitment, in 1994, to vote for an assault weapons ban. But as the frequency and severity of mass shootings increased over the next two decades, Sanders continued to maintain that the federal government ought to avoid regulating firearms. “In my view, decisions about gun control should be made as close to home as possible — at the state level,” he said after a July 2012 shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo.

Just to be clear, Thomas Massie represents Kentucky's 4th House district, which is mostly the northeast region around Cincinnati. His district includes a sliver of Louisville, which happens to be our wealthiest and staunch Republican neighborhoods (funny how that turned out). The vast majority of Louisville makes up the 3rd district, which is represented by Democratic freshman Morgan McGarvey. He is the successor to liberal John Yarmuth, who served eight terms in the House supporting progressive legislation.
Other than the millionaires on the edge of the city, no one in Louisville wants to claim Thomas Massie.

If someone sent me a text like this, I’d do something about it. You cannot get a text like that & not take it seriously. The shooter was obviously not well, but that text was in my opinion, a cry for help.
It used to be that waaay back in the day, people who threatened suicide, only threatened to hurt themselves. Now? It seems like suicidal people are beginning to want to go out via death by cop, which can easily mean, harming others in the process.
Don’t ignore people who make these threats. You might lose a friend forever, but you might also save lives.

Maybe we can’t get rid of all the firearms out there, but we can stop adding more. Many of these young shooters purchased their rifles shortly before their killing sprees. Then we can offer buybacks and confiscate guns used in crimes. It will take a long time, but the sooner we start, the better.
