Another shooting in America on the 4th of July so let's not discuss it
What's the point SW? The rest of the world can shake it's head at the obvious solution being ignored. anyone who tries is called a commie or tyrant. How has America gotten to this point that there is such worship over guns and paranoia over any changes that could reduce these kind of shootings happening? It's always "This isn't the time" or "thoughts and prayers". All bluster no action then all the anger dies down till the next time. What's the point? I am an army marksman I'm not anti gun, I'm anti them being in the hands of civilians with little to no restrictions to type the of fire arms and who can acquire them. The 2nd ammendment says a well regulated milita being necessary for the security of a free state I've seen no form of milita being well regulated just free range access to firearms andcanybtalks of regulations met with "my rights are being infringed".
The 2nd ammendment is the equivalent of the old law in the UK saying all young men pratice with a longbow, it's a relic from the revolution and the early days of American independence. you don't see on the news of a mass archery attacks in Britain because we disregarded that law as no longer relevant America you have now got a military have police,bgone are the fears of imperialist nations waiting to invade. But you hold onto the shall not be infringed part like it is gospel ignoring the previous part about being part of a well regulated miltia just the right to bear arms nothing else.
If you strongly believe in your Constitution and that it is absolute then why do so many seem ok cherry picking and ignoring parts that don't agree with your narrative?
I just get saddened by this cause it is preventable with the right changes but unfortunately America change starts with you will you just turn to thoughts and prayers rinse and repeat everytime this happens or will you decide that enough is enough? Enough parents burying children. Enough cleaners washing the blood from classroom floors. Enough empty spaces at dinner tables. Enough children asking why Mommy or Daddy isn't coming home anymore.
I know this is futile that I am no doubt going to barraged by trolls and right wingers I don't care comment whatever you want.
I have said what I wanted to say.

I too have constantly tried to get Americans to understand that there are solutions to this blight. Solutions that have been tried and tested in developed nations around the globe. All have succeeded.
And yet, I get the same responses that you are getting below.
Sadly, I'm left with one conclusion: a significant proportion of Americans are a combination of frightened bullies and homicidal maniacs!
@room101 A lot of us here do understand and always have. There are too many in power who either don’t, or are pandering to the interests of groups like the NRA.
@bijouxbroussard I know that you understand Bijou, as do all of my American friends. Sadly however, you guys seem to be outnumbered by those depicted in your GIF below.
