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

The problem is with the twisted person that pulled the trigger . . . NOT the gun nor the people that own and respect guns.

Most of America’s cities have been under Democrat control for 50+ years. All of their neo-Marxist policies have failed. They are unable to deliver the most basic of services that city governments are truly responsible. Their schools turn out generations after generations of illiterates that lack the ability to solve the simplest problems. Those that have an ounce of ability have fled.

It’s time for some tough love. Cities and their residents need to be cut off from state and federal tax dollars. Make them focus on what really matters with their own money.

Guns don’t kill people. Mentally ill trannies kill people.

We Nashvillians don’t affectionately refer to him as
“mayor chicken coop” for nothing.

Total and complete nitwit.

Why is it always the political radicals and ANTI CHRISTIAN commie wokees and haters pushing to have law abiding Americans disarmed? It is rarely if ever a “subscribing” Christian that does mass shootings.

The Hitler Holocaust could have been prevented too if every non Nazi German and Jews were armed. The right to be armed for self protection and to prevent tyranny is the ultimate right to maintain individual freedom. Our Christian founders were uniquely freedom oriented to permit and encourage ensuring that right. Our role is to prevent mostly outsiders from sabotaging it.

Mayor went full retard. He looks like a total cuck.

For sure. Who but a twisted democRAT "celebrates the cult of the gun?" Legitimate gun owners celebrate the nation's founders for authoring the second amendment in the face of tyranny as a means to fend off future tyranny. Bet he celebrates drag queen story hour at Nashville public libraries.

Can I assume the D- Nashville Mayor is a proud cult member in the Cult of death aka abortion rights?

Or am I assuming incorrectly?

Were there any injuries other than the six deaths?

I’ve seen no mention.

And I would think there would be live persons around the shooter who could describe what happened.

No mention of that either.

I am waiting . . .

A deranged mind-poisoned young adult (who we are not sure if it’s a girl pretending to be a boy, or a boy who dreams of chopping off his penis), leaves a hate filled anti-Christian manifesto and conducts a mass murder of 9 year olds.
And this dickweed thinks it’s a gun cult issue.

It would appear that a majority of Nashvillains refer to him as "the guy I voted for".

Hey mayor... what was it that stopped the shooter again? Oh that’s right, a gun... a gun which law abiding citizens are stil allowed to use to defend themselves with. There is no “cult worship of guns” there is o ly appreciation that we are still allowed to defend ourselves with guns agaisnt gun toting criminals. There is appreciation that we don’t have to all cower when gun toting criminals threaten us. There is appreciation that outside of “no gun zones” citizens are not sitting targets for bad people hell bent on murdering them. Schools should not be “no gun zones”! The attendees There have no defence whatsoever, yet you and your ilk think that is just dandy? Those kids HAVE A RIGHT to be protected, but you and your ilk refuse to protect them! You don’t disarm law abiding citizens in the hopes of stopping criminals! You arm and train them to defend places like,schools agaisnt cri inals who will always find ways to get guns while citizens are denied the right if you have your way!
