Beyond sad, beyond sad

4th highest number of deaths.

And yet nothing will change as far as gun control in the US goes.
I dont see things getting better. We live in a digital age and there are plenty of nutjobs with guns out there seeking their 15 minutes of infamy.

There's a Republican going, "nuts, was hoping for the shooter to be Muslim or similar"....then it would be a total tweet-fest by the moron President we have. Dumb **** Trump would be setting Country Bans on every Country that has ever had a Muslim living in it! haha.....I know that sounds dumb but that's how stupid our President is.

What isn't funny is the amount of people being murdered in the US....BY other Americans!

These incidents are getting alarming in number - every 2nd week, a mass shooting in the US followed by somewhere in the world, a vehicle plowing down pedestrians the week after.

Sickening.

Whats the general feeling amongst US residents when this happens time and time again? How do the news report it?

Read what MM78 wrote. Disappointed the assiliant was not Muslim.

People I know are taking these events on a case by case basis.

One thing, surrendering their firearms is not mentioned as an option.

I thought MM78 was just being facetious! Surely thats not the narrative?

Give every nut the chance to buy a weapon, as easy as it would be for me to go to the grocery store, and this is the result of it.

Old West and gunslinger time is long gone. I would be scared to live in US... starting from its president.

On the contrary, when these incidents happen, then gun sales go UP!

Depending on the location, the place to buy can be Walmart.

Of course sales goes up.. everyone wants to have more firearms for self defense and kill the crazy nut... this is only a race to kill each other.

Animals kill the weaker of the species in the wild.

Humans hold a firearm to prove they are stronger.

problem not limited to USA

[oompaloompa]

It is also a morality and values issue regarding the perps, the parameters are skewed, that you can kill for kicks, a perceived slight/diss, to steal, a feud etc.

As for the self-defence people, well they are just scared and that is understandable in a way....

If they change the gun laws now they'd f#ck up the gun dealers x-mas biz.

Now who would want that?

There are sadly some "Core Truths" to the gun control argument. One is that people kill people, guns are simply a tool, no different than a Knife or a screwdriver if a persons true intention is to do harm, then harm will be done, the only thing that changes is the tool that is used, from a gun it can become a truck, knife, or an ax.

The second truth is the National Rifle Association. The NRA is arguable the most powerful lobby in the U.S. pumping tens of millions of dollars in every election, Federal, State, and local. Democrats LOVE making the point that Republicans are protecting the NRA but the truth is that you would HARD pressed to find many Democrats that would actually VOTE for any gun control legislation DESPITE what they say. Politicians (Democrats AND Republicans) from big cities like New York, California, Illinois, ect, ect are really the only places where some real support
actually exists.

To give you some further insight here are some of the things that the NRA actually does:

We start referring to them as "some asshole", and quit crediting them with the event, I bet a lot of this nonsense would stop!
