Nashville Mayor John Cooper (D) said on Tuesday that the “cult of the gun” should not be celebrated, after a shooting left three children and three staff members dead at a local elementary school.

“Guns lead to tragedies,” Cooper told the TODAY Show. “Whatever your political feelings are, we should not be celebrating the cult of the gun.

A former student of The Covenant School, a private Christian school in Nashville, Tenn., shot and killed six people on Monday before being killed by police. The shooter, 28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale, was armed with two assault-style weapons and a handgun.

“The country needs to pick itself up and say no to an assault weapons lobby that again is making it too available and too convenient and too first of mind for people to go out and commit terrible acts,” Cooper added

Cult of mentally ill trans (fake) people should be shunned. Udalve, Denver, Nashville, and OTHERS! Trannies should be banned! Not guns!

What about this hateful attack on Christian’s by a tranny?

The cult of sexual depravity should not be supported.

This is BS and I’m done having this conversation.

It’s more of a religion to the anti-gun fanatics.

Good luck confiscating guns from folks in the hood.

But of course, we all know, those aren’t the guns they are interesting in confiscating.

The Leftists always learn and espouse the wrong lessons from any tragedy.

Instead, they encourage the insanity that a man can become a woman and that a woman can become a man.

XY will NOT and CAN NOT become XX. XX will NOT and CAN NOT become XY.

That is Biology 101.

Yet the Left lies all day long.

Strong Delusion.

Politics should not be celebrated either but the ignorant and obnoxious in the country do it all the time.

What about this “Cult of the Gun”? I have an issue of American Rifleman from about 1950 that discussed the semi auto models of military firearms used in the recent world war and were readily available to the public and there did not seem to be a problem of people running amok with them in schools senselessly. Or at about the same time, kids in even New York City bringing their rifles to school for after school target shooting, and again, very little or no violence took place back then.
