1) I am being facetious ... But this is how I see the USA now. A place that has so many guns and so much ammunition that once the shooting starts there will be carnage.
The video has no bloodshed but listen to the shots from what may be a rifle like an AR15. When you listen, understand that earlier, at 9:30 children and dogs had THEIR small parade before they joined their parents to view the main parade.
The shots started at 10:20...
Children were injured and thus far 40 people were transported to hospitals, 5 dead on scene and one died enroute.
'There have been 11 mass shootings in the first four days of July, including three on July 4 alone, in Richmond, Virginia; Chicago and Highland Park, according to the Gun Violence Archive.'
'The incident marks at least the 308th mass shooting in the US this year, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit tracking such incidents. The organization defines a mass shooting as involving four or more people shot, not including the shooter.' https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/04/us/highland-park-illinois-shooting-july-4-parade/index.html
The NRA does not respond to mass shootings or any shooting. It was not the guns, it was the person. But hey! Happy 4th you to the gun nuts~!
'Happy 4th of July, America! We are a country because of brave souls with guns who valued and fought for liberty and freedom. ~ The NRA
The NRA’s official annual meeting social media account used pictures of babies wearing gun themed onesies to promote the NRA convention
The amount of shots fired in that video is unbelievable. Another sad day in US history. Wonder if this incident put a dampener on any NRA members July 4th celebrations. Probably not, evil scum.
