It's heartbreaking.
It's every day.
It's everywhere.
It's unstoppable.
It's insanity.
It's the fucking Republicans and their NRA.
It's their fault.

The best he can do here:
"Beshear said during a debate at Northern Kentucky University he would not support an assault rifle ban, but he would support a "red flag" law, which authorizes courts to allow police to temporarily confiscate firearms from people deemed by a judge to be a danger to themselves or others. "

(13,320 posts)Nobody they know got shot. A friend of the governor's did, but the governor's a Democrat, so they don't care. They'll just go on stuffing blood money into their bank accounts.

That's the way they get re-elected. Keep KY needy on others.
If Kentuckians pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and became independent, they might not need them.
They would rather screw a million state citizens just to keep their two jobs. Plain and simple.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear held back tears as he told reporters that two of the dead and one of the wounded in a shooting in downtown Louisville on Monday are his close friends.
A gunman opened fire at the Old National Bank in Louisville on Monday morning, leaving at least four dead and eight others wounded, authorities said. The shooter, described as a current or former employee of the bank, also wounded two responding police officers, one critically, officials said. The gunman was killed not long after the shooting unfolded, Louisville Metro Police Department Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said.
This is awful, Beshear said during a press conference after the shooting. I have a very close friend that didnt make it tonight. And I have another close friend who did not either, and one whos at the hospital but I hope is going to make it through.
