That’s terrible. Does that same thing happen again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again?

why yes..... yes it does.

Why can’t we be like Australia?
I think the better question is why can't we be like every other like country that doesn't have the amount of random mass shootings as we do.

Agree. If not absolutely 100% effective, then do nothing

Because they are tragic situations that are very emotional for most people, which makes them very political issues that many try to use to score easy political points.

No other countries have the level of firearm ownership as the US and I'm not aware of any where it is defined as a basic human right.

President Biden
@POTUS

United States government official
These kinds of mass shootings rarely happen elsewhere in the world.

Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it?

It’s time to turn this pain into action.

In Michael Moore's documentary Bowling for Columbine, he points out that Canada has a much much higher gun ownership per capita than the United States, yet doesn't have near the gun violence.


Yeah America would look a lot safer too if we had similar demographics as Canada.

I think an even better question is why the amount of random mass shootings we had were in line with all the the countries until relatively recently?

But you don't want to ask that question, because it doesn't fit your narrative.

That fricker at that recent school shooting had already been threatening other students, (even way younger kids) in his own Facebook page. The law knew this guy was tilted and didn’t do anything about it.

I am going to let you in on a little secret. You cannot fix everything in this world. You will die long before that happens. You cannot fix all of the wrongs that happen. You are not going to fix this one either. We all deal with things the best we can. Some are very religious, while others are not. When things don’t go your way, relax and try and be persuasive. Reactionary responses are not typically effective. Might want to wise up!!
