Subject: Re: Another Red State Massacre...
Republicans were so busy protecting people from having access to healthcare that they forgot to protect them from being murdered on their highways.

Authorities search for shooter along I-75 in Kentucky with up to 7 people shot...
"When our first two units got to the scene there,
it was a madhouse: people on the sides of the road, emergency flashers going, bullet holes, windows shot out, nine vehicles shot. Can you imagine that? Just chaotic."

Kentucky has some of the most permissive gun laws in the United States.
State law preempts local governments from regulating firearms.
No permit or license is required to purchase or possess firearms in Kentucky. There is no registration requirement for firearms.
There are no restrictions on assault weapons or magazine capacity. Machine guns are legal.
Sounds "well regulated" amirite?? Facepalm...

What could go wrong?

826 people die from gun violence in Kentucky each year.

Murder rates in red states are 33% higher than in blue states. Contributing factors:
Higher gun ownership rates in red states.
Less restrictive gun laws: Red states often have more permissive gun laws, making it easier to acquire and carry firearms.
Blue states are more likely to have bans or restrictions on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. Red states generally do not have such restrictions.
Higher poverty rates in red states, Lower educational attainment in red states.
Underinvestment in social services and policing: Despite rhetoric about being "tough on crime," red states often spend less per capita on both
social services and law enforcement compared to blue states.

"This is your heartless Republican Party, folks. They’ll force a ten-year-old to give birth to her stepfather’s rape-baby, but they won’t do one single thing to
keep children from getting shot to death in their schoolrooms." ~JEFF TIEDRICH
