Welcome to Fark.  To get a school shooting link greenlit you have to mention a clock in the headline for US incidents, or make a pun laughing at dead kids.

Bonus points if you can combine the two.

It's all about the clicks and greens.

Apparently it was a 'licensed' automatic weapon. Say what you will but at least those are nearly impossible to legally own in the US.

do we have to reset the clock in Russia or do they use pencils?

Quick - this is incontrovertible proof that we are not the only nation of masturbatory gun fantasists who regularly slaughter our fellow citizens because a lobbying group owns politicians.

You normally don't think of Russia as a country that has their shiat together, then they go and do something like this and totally redeem themselves. They're more First World than we gave them credit for.

Headline is accurate and uses a decent pun. I see nothing wrong with this.

Diving deeper, if a little silliness helps bring people's attention towards something serious (that they otherwise might have ignored), then it's a worthwhile endeavor. That's the socially conscious version of "no such thing as bad publicity"

Dead kids? No. The cost accepting violence in some situations.
Once you accept violence is useful in some situations others will use it in other situations you never dreamed of.
Accept that reality because that is where we're at ladies and gentlemen.

WTF is wrong with people. WTF goes through their head?

"My life sucks,
I hate everyone,
The girls I like won't give me the time of day,
They fired me from my job,
My wife left me,
I know! I will go to a school and shoot a bunch of kids! That will show the world I am not a loser!"

Don't be so hasty to praise.

It could easily have been some guy who intended to murder his ex-wife, but drank too much perfume, got confused, and shot up the school instead.

Actually. I think this proves it's it's the guns not the people. Because according to Americans Russians are completely different. Well if that stupid is correct that Americans and Russians are completely different; then obviously the problem is the guns and not the people.

"Media reports conflicted over the exact circumstances around the incident and the number of fatalities."

Kremlin: "A radicalized dissident fired off a number of shots in a local delicatessen, but was quickly taken down by brave security forces. No one was injured. The delicatessen owner has been awarded Hero of Russian Labor and a Moscow Apartment."

The root of this problem is the shooters were sober enough to aim.  Also, the children were not drunk enough to gain the nigh-immortality needed to survive being shot.  Either way, AA has much to answer for.

Not so. Just expensive. If you don't live in California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, or Massachusetts you can get an automatic weapon for about the price of a car.

The "nearly impossible" way (not actually impossible: no individual step is difficult, it is just not a thing most people want to do) is to get a FFL and become an SOT licensed to manufacture automatic weapons, theoretically because you intend to become the next John Moses Browning and develop new machine guns to sell to the military.

It's easier just to go to the museum and breaking into the 'Hall of Violence'. You only get fined 3 credits if you get caught.

Russia has very few mass shootings, relative to the US.  IIRC they had like 5 or 6 in 2020 with a total death toll of like 20 people.

It's even more sickening than that.   Tatars are a central Asian people...one of many that got steam-rolled by the Slavic Russians during czarist times.   Many Tatars, the majority of whom are Muslim, were never too happy at being dominated by Moscow, and since the collapse of communism, there has been a resurgence of Muslim radicalism in Tatarstan.

In the last few days things have been heating up in Israel.  The Israelis continue throwing people out of their homes and various Muslim groups have retaliated.   A number of the Muslim factions in the Mideast are Russian proxies.  It's not because they love the Russians, or that the Russians love Muslims, rather the enemy of my enemy, etc, etc.   Now there as been a mass shooting in a Russian republic of Tatarstan where the majority of the inhabitants are Muslim Asians and the Russians are a minority.   Coincidence?

It's another example of rotten politicians getting in bed with twisted religions fanatics.  Both sides seem to think this is a good idea.   The results are dead children...on both sides of the fence.   Humanity learns nothing.
