(CNN)A suspect is in custody after a shooting incident at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, left at least two dead and injured 14 people, including students, authorities said.

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (UCISD) posted about an "active shooter" at Robb Elementary at 12:17 p.m. local time and said law enforcement was on site.

The suspect was taken into custody as of 1:06 p.m. local time, according to the Uvalde Police Department.
Two have died after the shooting at Robb Elementary School, a spokesperson from Uvalde Memorial Hospital told CNN.

The hospital received 13 children at their facility who were being treated for varying injuries, he said. Two children were transported to San Antonio and another is pending transfer, Tom Nordwick said.

Additionally, two patients were dead on arrival, he said. Nordwick was not sure of the ages of the two deceased. A man in his 40s was also being treated there, he said.

Nordwick did not have conditions on any of the victims.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

I've also been trying to upload relevant videos with no luck, tried converting to dif formats still no luck

Seems like its broken fam. Tried to upload that one vid from the news about the suspect being a murder suspect. Won't work.

It's because prior to Columbine 99% school shootings were simply standard murders, like the only incident I located of an fully-automatic being used, a guy in Texas in 1984 went back to his highschool to kill his former English Teacher, he couldn't find her, sprayed the front of the building with a full mag and simply sat down and waited to get arrested.

They played baseball that night and on Monday when a bomb threat was called in they didn't even evacuate the building.

The 1980s were a hell of a time.

He only ended up getting 44 years for murder because Texas law requires you to kill at least two people before you can get the death penalty.

The guy who did the Lindhurst High shooting killed five, got the death penalty, and has been sitting on death row for nearly 30 years, and with Gruesome Newsom in the governors chair, I doubt he will ever have that sentence carried out.

I gotta ask, why is it that all these mass shooters have red flags on their social media and seemingly no one intervenes/stops them? How are they getting the money to buy this and or, why do their parents seem to not care about them having firearms?

Hindsight is 20/20. Right now, browse through your social media, and pick 2 or 3 people that you would consider "red flags". Over the next 20 years, we'll see if you're right.

And murders with rifles are even more rare. Most gun murders are committed with handguns.

More people will die from drug overdoses in my state than have been killed with any kind of rifle the past 15 years combined.

 

[Glowie Hunter Art Bell]

If only 2 out of 14 are dead then he's not white or Asian.

Just some gallows humor because Lord knows I need something to help with this shit.

EDIT: Nevermind, then. Confirmed 16 dead. Fuck the media for glorifying this shit.

What? And ask our agencies to do their jobs? No, see, they were never about stopping crime. They are about consolidating power. Hoover pretty much said so himself.


I would think most of those would be black since they shoot into crowds all the time around here. The problem is they had a singular target so I guess it somehow disqualified them.

This. Almost all of those "mass shootings" are niggos blasting other groups of niggos

 

[Not A. Yankee]

And murders with rifles are even more rare. Most gun murders are committed with handguns.

Once you pare off the suicides and accidents that are tacked on to inflate the gun violence statistic, you're left mostly with gang crime in a handful of large democrat run cities like Shitcago.

I keep trying to upload that video of the psychologist explaining how to lessen these school shootings by not reporting them in a sensationalist manner, spliced with footage from Christchurch shooting media sensationalisation, but the attach file function is being an asshole. We now have two teenagers, old enough to be influenced and mentally stunted from 2+ years of isolation, having committed mass shootings within weeks of each other. One of which (last one in Buffalo) openly admitting to going down the Tarrent rabbit hole because he saw shit on the news and decided to read up on it when 15, and then was converted to the idea over the course of 3 years.

Now I'm catching up on this faggot, and you can't tell me that this guy didn't plan on shooting up this school and just decided on a whim without serious planning and inspiration. Fuck this guy, fuck Tarrant, fuck journalists and politicians who use these events and keep them in the minds of people for months to years later, who use these for gun grabs and restrictions, and for keeping it interesting enough that maladjusted teenagers end up getting inspired by this kind of shit.

That reminds me of this video from Newswipe after the German mass shooting back in the 2000's. At the end there is a psychiatrist saying basically what you were talking about around 1:41:

 

[BootlegPopeye]

I went to school in the 2000s in Texas and remembered we already had to be buzzed in back then and I lived in the suburbs not the hood, meanwhile at Sandy Hook they had buzz doors, Lanza simply shot out the glass door with his AR and cleared the glass with the barrel of his gun, that's why his AR-15 had glass dust all over the barrel

View attachment 3316816

Oh ok I didn't know this, I remember them bringing it up with the example that it could have prevented Sandy Hook, perhaps not if it's just a glass windowed door.

Blaming mental health is a big cope much like just blaming guns or racial politics or some single issue. It would be so easy if we could give kids prozac so they wouldn't shoot up schools. WWII vets didn't shoot up schools, Vietnam vets didn't shoot up schools. Gun laws used to be much more lax and you could get automatic weapons. Racism used to be much much worse. These shootings are modern phenomena with extremely deep explanations for why they happen that nobody in the media or political class wants to confront because they would have to talk about things like class, healthcare access, poverty, nihilism and the directionless disturbed nature of the young in the post-national globo hellstate economy that has been built.

I had just graduated high school at the time of Columbine, I think alot of it is how the media covered them - wall to wall 24 hour news coverage. I know in Japan, they restrict the way suicides are reported to avoid the media coverage the ones that do it for attention crave, though I don't know how you could duplicate that here.

Well I have that one with the psych saved on my computer, and it has a very pointent quote.

Do localise this story to the affected community and make it as boring as possible in every other market, because when we have intense saturation of a mass murder, we expect to see one or two more in a week.

So let me ask everyone, when was that Buffalo shooting again? Oh, about 11 days ago.

That reminds me of this video from Newswipe after the German mass shooting back in the 2000's. At the end there is a psychiatrist saying basically what you were talking about around 1:41:

That's the one, just without the edits of news overreacting and doing the exact opposite to what he is saying around Christchurch.

You do realize he wasn't an immigrant, right?

So? If shitskins come into your country and then raise a deranged little muttlet, said muttlet is still foreign regardless of whether or not the tard government has an idiotic law like jus soli.

now I can't upload pics either? how are we supposed to aggregate content

Fun fact: Beta blockers completely halt your body's self-preservation instincts. Its the most common anti-depressant medication and makes you do things you wouldnt when you arent taking it.

ALL mass shooters on the last 20 years or so in the US were using beta blockers or similar drug and were under medication for some sort of mental illness that archieves this exact same effect.

This is about 99% wrong. Beta blockers (ie metoprolol, I think that's still the most commonly prescribed one) slow your heart rate and lower your blood pressure. They are primarily prescribed for hypertension and congestive heart failure. They have the primary undesirable side effect of causing bronchospasm and congestion, and the primary beneficial side effect of reducing anxiety. However because of their systemic effects they are not a first or second line treatment for anxiety. They are sometimes obtained, licitly or illicitly, by performing artists and athletes for the effect of lessening performance anxiety.

SSRIs are the drug class that many shooters in the past 20 years have been taking. Examples would be fluoxetine (Prozac) or sertraline (Zoloft). They can have an overall flattening effect on the moods but not usually to the point of impairing your instinct to avoid danger.

Quick question, is Coulter's Law in effect?

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

Always remember:

Military Grade: Made by the lowest bidder, designed by committee, does not have to function well for the company to move millions. Maintained by retards, operated by retards. Beat up, kept long past its expiration date, used in ways it shouldn't be, dropped, thrown, used to stir burning garbage, damaged from 'over-cleaning' to satisfy some fuckhead armorer.

Civilian Grade: Has to work or it doesn't sell. Kept in a gun cabinet. Only used on weekends.

If these were "military grade assault rifles" or "military grade battle rifles", then they'd jam the second trigger pull, explode when the trigger is pulled, not work at all, or be locked in a cage where they couldn't get to it.

Biden is wondering why this doesnt happen in other countries. Except they do. Mass shooting do happen in lots of places around the world. All of them are multi cultural countries too. That seems to be the one truly unifying feature with very rare exceptions.

He knows what he is saying. Those other countries does not allow gun ownership for self defense:

p]ersonal protection is not a genuine reason’.4 This is a crucial point of difference with the USA, where personal protection is a very common motivation for acquiring guns. Australia’s personal protection exclusion frames gun ownership as a privilege

He wants the American public to rely on the state.

 

[PoisonedBun]

Isn't the American government deadlocked between democrats and republicans? I don't know what people in this thread expect Biden to do. Yeah, a Democrat is the president, but the Supreme Court is majority Republican and the House is democratic with a margin than less that 15 people, and the Senate is considered an even 50-50. No one on either side can achieve anything with everything split so evenly.

Is it legal to buy guns and put them directly into storage while overseas

The way you would do it is what you used to have to do back in the day to get tax stamps for Machine Guns and shit without being subject to the requirement to get permission from your local law enforcement before they repealed that bullshit.

Anyway what you have to do is create a gun trust including you, and whoever you trust in the U.S. to purchase firearms on the behalf of the trust, once they purchase the firearms for the trust and put them into storage in the name of the trust, you can then remove them from the trust if desired technically leaving you as sole trustee of the firearms owned by the trust.

People used to have to use Trusts to get ATF tax stamps to possess machine guns and short barreled rifles because back in the day the ATF required you to get written permission from your local law enforcement to even apply for the tax stamp, then they finally repealed the rule, now these days trusts are mostly designed for families so everyone in the Family can be in lawful possession of the registered NFA firearms as otherwise if you left your machine gun in your house with your relatives while you went grocery shopping, they would instantly be guilty of unlawful possession of a machine gun because Federal Law says only one single entity can possess a registered NFA firearm at a time.

 

[Ryuko Matoi]

Okay, I'm going to have a bit of a sperg, and this was the one that was closest. AR-15s with rails and optics does NOT equate to "military-grade". In fact, in terms of construction quality, many civilian ARs are actually better than military-issue ones, by virtue of not having been produced by the lowest bidder. The key difference between a "military" and "civilian" AR is the presence or absence of a three-position selector switch; in addition to the safe and semi-automatic positions on a typical AR, any military-issue one will also feature either a fully-automatic or three-round burst setting. While in military parlance, this is a key component to qualifying a weapon as an "assault rifle", under civilian law, these fall under the blanket of "machine gun", which is defined as "any weapon capable of discharging more than one cartridge per pull of the trigger". While machine guns are not strictly banned in the US, very heavy regulations on their manufacture, sale, and possession, combined with a generous helping of market forces on the small supply that is up for sale, make them effectively unobtainable for the vast majority of the American population.

Further compounding this issue is that a three-position selector is a very fine detail on an AR-platform rifle, essentially requiring close examination to determine if a rifle has one or not. In this case, the easiest source of identification is actually likely to be the media: if somebody actually commits a shooting with a full-auto rifle, rest assured that you will never hear the end of it, whereas copes like "assault weapon", "military-grade", or "ghost gun" will usually indicate that the weapon was compliant with ATF regulations. Just because it looks like something out of Call of Duty doesn't mean it is.

The line between military and civilian weapons has always been blurry at best; from muskets to repeaters to bolt-actions to semi-autos, they have looked and operated the same, because if it works well enough in a war, it will work well enough for whatever you need, from hunting to target plinking to home defense.

Adding to this: full auto firearms are difficult (but not impossible) to get in the United States. SBRs (short-barreled rifles) and suppressors also require extra paperwork, but you'll note a general lack of all three of these from shootings. I haven't yet seen a shooting where an actual machine gun has been used. Ever. There are some conversions that make the guns full-auto-like, but they don't actually convert the firearm into fully automatic (see bumpstocks, forced reset triggers). Alternatively, people will illegally modify their firearms, particularly in the Black community with the usual bullshit like glock switches.

This might surprise a lot of people, but usually the people going through the legal means to create a machine gun typically aren't interested in shooting other people and throwing their rights and life away. And people who are breaking the law won't comply with anti-gun legislation anyways.

There is nothing for them to achieve. All the shit that democrats are calling for won't solve the problem they are claiming will be fixed by their solutions.

I thought having lockdown exercises was already a federal requirement across the USA? My preppy private school had them. Not that it would realistically help in most situations, like during homerooms, sporting events, or even during the breaks between classes. And then universities don't do lockdown drills at all, it just seemed performative all around.
