At least four people have been killed and 18 injured in a mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, police say.

“Multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people” late on Saturday in the Five Points South area of the city, Birmingham police officer Truman Fitzgerald said.

Officers found the bodies of two men and one woman at the scene, while a third man later died of bullet wounds in hospital, Birmingham Police said.

The culprits are believed to have approached the scene in a vehicle before getting out and opening fire. No suspects have been arrested.

I'm just spit-balling here, but I am gonna guess from the silence of the media on this event, that NONE of the perps or victims were wearing MAGA hats.

What was the race of the black people responsible for this hooliganism?

I doubt I WILL EVER be involved in a “hit” while in church. Because most of us are white and we aren’t catholic.

Authorities have no idea where “ghost guns” and unregistered or filed off serial number weapons are now. As in drug lord houses.

The old Kamala Harris....

But legally registered guns as by a family somewhere, they have precise information on computer lists.

News stories such as....

As San Francisco’s district attorney, Kamala Harris, in a press conference, told law-abiding gun owners that authorities could “walk into” their homes to inspect whether they were storing their firearms properly under a new law she helped draft.

She stated, “It’s people who own guns who are quietly sitting on those guns. And those guns might end up being the weapons of the destruction of a community because they get in the hands of some kid who decides that they like what they see on television and they want to act that way. So this is about just basically saying that we’re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community. Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affair.

“. . . the city does not have the power to outlaw Glock switches, only the state.”

Not only the state, the federal government has been outlawing such devices since 1986 and taxing them heavily since the 1930s.

(We can't have four more years of this.)

“Savages shooting savages? If so, I couldn’t care less.”

The herd culling itself. Society on the whole is better off.

This is like the Baltimore thing last year. Called it “mass shooitng”, when in fact it is just ANOTHER example of “dissed - angry - shoots - doesn’t care where or who is in the way”.

The Baltimore thing was worse,but again, urban, demographic, parties isn’t he middle of the night, someone gets mad and shoots.

“The intended target was among those killed, Mr Thurmond said at a news conference on Sunday.”

How does he know that?
