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.

Gun control in California has gotten more strict. I can't speak for the rest of the country except Texas. Texas is more independent than other states.

@Spoiledbrat And yet mass shootings in schools, supermarkets et al are still happening.
There are many ways to get a gun. Many people obtain them illegally or get them from their parents. @RedBaron
I believe it was the Sandy Hook murders that the guns were obtained from a parent. @RedBaron

@Spoiledbrat Exactly my point about gun laws being useless.
That has nothing to do with gun laws. 😐 @RedBaron
