I Think Its Sad

59 people died yesterday and 500 were injured. But yet people laugh and make jokes. Many of you have criticized America for our rights to own guns. Trust me I know we have a problem as well but to sit there when so many have died, when so many are grieving over lost loved ones you bash them for being there or you point your fingers and say we deserved it. NO one deserves to be gunned down. A little more compassion during this time is what's needed. And hopefully later we can fix what needs fixing.

It is such alot of people to be killed or hurt by one individuals actions outside of a war zone. That is what I found so shocking. And then he killed himself and no one knows why he did it.

I'm glad my county has basically no guns. There's a few but very difficult to get legally or illegally. But America has guns, it'd be impossible to take them back and it's how it is so I don't see it needs judgement or blame. Also it's far from funny. There is no way to prepare for a complete out of the blue thing like this either unless everyone was searched entering every building and firearms were not permitted in public buildings but still a lone person could walk along the road and shoot people. It's an impossible conundrum even if you took out people generally wanting guns and law abiding citizens willingly gave up their guns there'd be criminals and crazy people and terrorists who would keep them so it would effectively be worse. It's a terrible position to be in and if I was in a country with guns I know I'd have one so also I would be a hypocrite to judge.

That is my view.
