Guns, of course. But let's don't say to make them illegal or americans get mads telling you isn't about weapons and everything can be a weapon. Well then try do a mass shootings with an hammer, a knife or a rock.

I didn't know the onion did this.
They've been publishing almost the same article for something like a decade.
everything can be a weapon.
Those people are so annoying.
I usually ask them why we don't replace the military and police's guns with spoons. Save a lot of money. You can also kill people with a spoon.
I think there is a kind of obsession with violence and needs to feeling powerful. Really weapons should not exist at all, even the nuclears one. Wars make no sense as killing or wishing the dead of someone. In Europe even police don't go around easly with guns, it is common sense.
Yep, guns are a scary jump in easy ways to kill people.
I hardly believe in usa sometimes, thinking about common people who goes around with guns. Why? Why any should have an easy way to kill someone else? It does not make any sense.
Because when guns were a little harder to come by, and to kill people with, a bunch of rich white guys managed to start a new country. Quickly, they added the Bill of Rights to our constitution with the 2nd amendment that says i have the basic right to own a gun.
But its actual meaning has been debated ever for decades.
I'll just leave this here for anyone who's like, it's those high crime cities, etc etc and denies that guns are the problem. Other western countries are horrified by the US's stance towards guns and don't have to deal with this, because, and stay with me here, they have less guns, and guns kill people really quickly and easily compared to other weapons. There ya go.
Damn, those bears in Alaska must have yoked bear arms.
But seriously, looks like Hawai'i and Massachusetts need to tutor the rest of the class.
Also this data is starting to turn green and grow mold. I'd be interested in what this landscape looks like now that it's a decade later.
You can go back further than 20 years to gather thoughts and prayers. I think you need at least 100 years worth for something to start happening.
Between Friday and Sunday, 12 mass shootings took place,
that's gotta be a fucking record, right?
I don't think i want to know.
After some quick googling I think fourth of July weekend 2021 might be the record holder.

Mass shootings got the "covid bump" -- people making up for lost time shooting each other bc they had to quarantine etc
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In Texarkana, Texas, three people were killed and three others were injured in a shooting at a party in the back room of a business a little after 9 p.m. on Saturday, police said.
At some point during this fight, at least two men there pulled out rifles and started shooting," read a statement from the Texarkana Texas Police Department posted to social media on Sunday morning.
Officers said they heard gunshots and saw a large crowd dispersing from the area, according to a statement issued by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department on Sunday morning.
The shooting was the result of an isolated dispute between two people that escalated into violence, Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw said during a Sunday afternoon news conference.
Police said at least 15 people were injured — two of them critically — in a shooting in the North Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago's West Side early Sunday morning.
Chicago Police officers responding to the scene saw a man open fire at the site of a gathering just after 1 a.m., according to a news release from the department.
The original article contains 722 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Not a good summary. Each paragraph is a different location. Not the bot's fault, just the wrong application
