Tim Walz has said he’s “sick and tired of hearing about thoughts and prayers” following the Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, which left four dead.
Walz, who was named as Kamala Harris’ running mate in the race for the White House in August, spoke about the Wednesday (4 September) shooting at a campaign rally at the Highmark Amphitheater in Erie, Pennsylvania on Thursday.
He told his supporters: “We believe in the freedom to send our kids to school without being shot dead in the hall.”
“The news cycle moves on within a day,” he commented of the incident, adding that kids had returned to school feeling excited and “now we have four dead”.

I think everyone sick of being in this time loop of the same result happening over and over. Action is the only solution.
But the action is "ban guns" and the American populace does not want that.

Polls show a solid majority of Americans want gun control | Vox
- Nearly three-quarters of Americans think that gun violence is a big or moderately big problem, according to a survey last year by Pew Research Center. And a majority of Americans think that the epidemic of school shootings could be stopped with drastic changes in legislation, according to a poll this week by YouGov. (2022)
Most Americans support these 4 types of gun legislation, poll says
Would be a lot more helpful to name politicians who are against gun control than the 'American Populace" who continues to be shot everyday.
TBF, American gun manufacturers don't want it because that would slow sales and line might not go up
I also think this. But now that I've thought it, what's the next step?
Restrictive gun laws and ban shit. Fuck 2A and all the assholes screaming about them. If people are consistently proving they are not responsible enough for what the constitution affords them, fuck the constitution. It needs revising.
Restrictive gun laws and ban shit.
I don't have the power to do this. Only the politicians owned and operated by the gun lobby have this power, and they've been moving us in reverse.
Fuck 2A and all the assholes screaming about them.
I don't think shoving my dick through a hole in the 2nd Amendment is going to do anything to reduce gun crime. I certainly don't think trying to shove my dick into a guy screaming about 2A rights is going to fix things.
fuck the constitution. It needs revising.
It is very difficult to redefine the Constitution via legal channels. Especially if you're just some angry internet guy. You'd need enormous sums of money, a willing media, and a political class that responds to social pressure.
And even when guys like Mike Bloomberg enjoyed most of that, they failed to achieve more than local reforms thanks to the aggressive partisan pushback from conservatives in his old party.
Until a politician grows a pair nothing is going to change. I hear what you're saying outside of the tongue in cheek and it's such a mess. America has systemic issues which are by and large a result of what the system was designed to do.

Trump took a bullet wound to the ear and he's still saying the same old stupid bullshit.
I don't think this is a question of growing a pair. The economic and social incentives to stay the course are simply overwhelming.
America has systemic issues which are by and large a result of what the system was designed to do.
And systems like this are resilient, intransigent, and self-perpetuating.
The slavish devotion to our gun policy is like a contagious mental illness.
