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

I grew up in a Dixiecrat controlled city which was bucolic
Now it’s a black run city and just dead mostly were it not state capital
Jackson Miss
Today it’s a mess
A republican could run Nashville and likely improve it some
But it’s the demographics which today means minorities and lefties often young voters determine city govt
Demographics more than parties
Nashville has been on this track since bredesen who was a reasonable leftist
Purcell
Dean
The Blonde girl
Cooper
All left governing
The state is trying to dilute leftist control here by reducing city council seats
Fill in the blank, Mayor. Most cults are harmful.
It is obvious that a lot of people are loose in our society who lack the mental stability, responsibility, and law-abiding nature to possess firearms.
The “media” and “the entertainment industry” actually have created a “cult” centered on fantasy abuse of firearms for anti-social and dysfunctional ends. The low “culture” found in some films, “music”, video games and throughout social media, depict firearms and violence as a consequences-free means to empowerment and coolness. Combine that with a drug-addled population; combine that with children raised without fathers and often “troubled” mothers; combine that with pathetic public schools that promulgate perversion and the destruction of identity, nihilism, hate of country and self; combine that with mass psychosis, purposelessness, entitlement, dependency/refusal to grow up, lack of empathy, lack of personal resilience, and low IQ. What could go wrong?
This all begs for a solution. What is the simpleton’s solution to a complex problem? Why, ban the law-abiding from possessing firearms because dysfunctional people abuse them, and cynical people make money off promoting that. The truth is that we are in a deep hole. Making America Responsible Again is hard work that requires real leadership. It’s time for the fantasies to end and adults restore a rational society.
Cult of the gun???
That will certainly induce the Mexican drug cartels to throw down their guns. And it will certainly induce pangs of conscience in murderous individuals across the nation.
Does the mayor have police protection?
Where do these complete idiots come from?
Two Nashville city councilmen were interviewed on TV news this morning and now this story about the mayor; I never knew Nashville was so liberal!!
Yep....lets get back to the good old days where trannies only killed themselves.
Yeah, because you just can’t trust a gun not to jump up and blast it’s way into a school to start shooting. Just like those evil SUVs driving every which way. All inanimate objects should be banned!
I’m sure he’s AOK with the Cult of the Trans.
Unfortunately, Nashville has been electing pukes like this lately.
Neither should the cult of the sexually confused and generally insane.
Can we talk about the Cult of the Tranny? The ongoing threats of trans vengeance against normal people?
“Guns lead to tragedies,”...

Even the guns that take down murderers? You’re right this Mayor did go Full Retard.
Nashville hasn’t elected a Republican Mayor since Grover Cleveland’s 1st term in the 1880s.
The prior elected Mayor (a married woman) was having sex in a cemetery with her paid city employee security guard. She was forced to resign and plead guilty to a felony. There hasn’t been a non-moonbat/non-corrupt Mayor to serve in 50 years.
I’m in a Gun Cult.
It’s known in some circles of Tennessee as “Nastyville”.
Oh, they are still doing that. But it’s these hordes of social media sheep bleating away the tune of the woke, who display the fruit of having been turned over to depraved minds even though they might not have been, that are the real cause for collapsing our society.
Just lile folks like Gramsci had hoped they would be too.
