Have you noticed that nothing ever gets done about gun violence? ~

It's sadly funny how every time one of these mass shootings occurs, people get all worked up for about a week, wringing hands about gun laws and such, but nothing gets done or even initiated. Then other news comes along and they go back to sleep until the next one happens, and they get all worked up for about a week, and again, nothing gets done or initiated, and the pattern is repeated as other news comes along and they go back to sleep until the next one occurs, and so on, and so on, and so on. Now here we are, almost 10 years since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and 23 years since Columbine High School, to give two examples, and nothing has changed.

It all just gets filed under Sh*t Happens.

Observed and noted. Yet not a thing will be done until the second amendment is modified. Most especially with a conservative supreme court.

And they are there for life!

No federal or state law will pass a conservative supreme court even if it should pass congress, which it also will not!

It's that double barrier that all conservatives have wanted for decades.

Change the second amendment and they'll have no choice.

@DeWayfarer It's incredibly naive to put this on one party or the other. It's much bigger than politics, and anyone intent on shooting a bunch of people is not concerned with courts, laws, and constitutional amendments. That's why gun laws wouldn't make a difference.

@RedBaron doesn't matter! It just won't get done for any reason. Mine is just as valid reason as the next!
