Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Good thing America takes public health crises seriously.

While mass shootings grab headline attention and are on the rise, they only account for around 1% of gun-related deaths. The rise in gun-related deaths is in large part fueled by an increase in gun homicides over the past 10 years and gun suicides over the past 20. Still, mass-shootings take a disproportionate toll on the nation's mental health, with more than three quarters of U.S. adults reporting stress due to worries about experiencing one.

Lol.

Hate this shit.

Remember in Time’s Square some guy was driving a motorcycle, and his backfire caused the entire square t flee in the opposite direction because they thought it ws a shooting

Yeh.

I have been intensely red, mad, and nude for at least a decade that the news and dems place massive, massive emphasis on "mass shootings". firearms suicides and homicides are both addressable with some pretty bog standard economic social support, vast numbers of suicides could be prevented with a simple universal healthcare scheme, but the Dems hammer on mass shootings, mass shootings, mass shootings. Likewise, you can stop a lot of firearms homicides by literally just building community centers for boys and young men to hang out at. Just build them and fund them and gun violence drops significantly. But naw, we gotta all be scared about mass shootings all the time. very mad, very red, very nude.

So that means we'll stop exporting record numbers of guns to flood the world in chaos and stop being an Empirical worship society right?

We will at least disarm the poilice right?
