But our laws around guns are just asking for the brain broken white supremacist to go shoot up a school/church/grocery store.

Society has moved on to office buildings and insurance executives as its stereotypical targets for maniacal violence.

I wish. There have already been 7 school shootings this year that I remember, compared to 1 insurance assassination and 1 office building assault.

You're missing a bunch of executive murders. Josif Suclea, for example.

School shootings went out of fashion about two years ago. The new hot trend in violent crime is the First Estate.

No, we just stopped caring about schools. We treat it like a hurricane that we can do nothing about. It's gross.

You're seeing the CEOs die because that's new. Not because the other stuff stopped.
