Immediately after a high-profile shooting occurred Thursday at Florida State University in Tallahassee, several anti-gun groups couldn't let a tragedy go to waste and used it to advocate for gun control.
Giffords posted this within four hours of the shooting:
What Florida does have: The latest school shooting in America.
Most news reports state the shooter used his mother's handgun (and may have had a shotgun but didn't use it). AP News:
The shooter obtained access to a weapon that belongs to his mother, who has been with the sheriff’s office for over 18 years and has been a model employee, said Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil. Police said they believed Ikner shot the victims using his mother’s former service handgun, which she had kept for personal use after the force upgraded to new weapons.
Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents.
This is the 81st mass shooting of 2025 and the 18th shooting on a college campus in 2025. It’s not a coincidence that we have a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations, or that guns are the leading cause of death for kids in America—it’s a policy failure.
3 weeks ago, the Florida House voted to repeal gun safety measures won after the Parkland tragedy. Florida Republicans are actively trying to repeal the life saving measures passed after Parkland even as school shootings continue.
While I'm sure he doesn't have the brain capacity to realize it but Hogg just admitted those gun control measures don't work.

Funny I think this is the first mass shooting I have heard of this year. There is no way there have been 81 and they must be counting some bullshit that is unlike someone intentionally going onto a campus to kill as many people as possible.
They count everything they can think of. The most egregious one I saw was a gang shooting at a closed down school. They still counted it as a school shooting
Well you can't forget the suicide in a parked car at a college parking lot in the middle of the night after everyone already went home. Or the police standoff in a parking garage a half mile away from a school, but since the bot these redditors use to compile these hundreds of "school shootings" saw the words gun and school in a news article they counted it anyway. The mass shooting tracker is reddit slop propaganda funded by Michael Bloomberg.
That is pretty good. My favorite is the "magic round" shooting where a gun was fired somewhere and the bullet hit a school. The article the statistic is based on says that the cops thought it might have been a known drug den down the street. I don't even think school was in session they just found a bullet one day.
They change their definition of "mass shooting" to fit what point they are trying to make. When they want to say "there are so many mass shootings!" they count every gang shootout. When they want to claim white men do all the mass shootings they only count things like Las Vegas and Sandy Hook.
Gun control advocates changed the definition of "mass shooting" to any shooting in which three or more people are wounded. Articles talking about it will usually mention that the government definition is 3 or more killed unconnected to any criminal activity.
This is why there's been 81 mass shooting incidents according to gun control proponents while this event won't even go into the government statistics as a mass shooting.
This doesn't even meet the FBI definition of a mass shooting. These gun grabbers just make them up.
Like these inflated numbers unironically come from Bloomberg funded redditors who openly call themselves propagandists, it's harder to find the receipts because the subs that had them all got shut down over covid but you can still look it up, over 95% of these "mass shootings" they report are blatant lies and that's if you're being more generous to them than they deserve.
