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.

@AbbySvenz Huh? What bills are those? We don't all know them by code number.

@RedBaron
83 percent of gun owners support enhanced background checks, as do at least 90 of Americans at large.

Two pieces of legislature passed in the House, still awaiting action from the Senate.

@AbbySvenz Two pieces of legislation that won't prevent mass shootings.

You don’t wave a magic wand and get a perfect solution right out the gate. Especially when it comes to legislation.@RedBaron

@AbbySvenz Kind of the whole point of my OP.
