Why waste time blaming politcians instead of voters who don't mind dead kids?

'Pro life' voters aren't interested in children at all. Their intention is to exert control over female bodies.

Because politicians need to be held accountable for their inaction. Blaming voters is exactly what political donors and lobbyists want because it means they don't have to bear responsibility for the candidates they back, and it gives politicians a convenient out since they can just continue to blame the other party while they sit back, attend fundraisers, and pad their pockets.

Besides, we live in a heavily gerrymandered society where more than 80% of Congressional seats are in "safe" districts where one party is virtually guaranteed to win every time. You can vote your conscience all the live-long day, but it won't make a difference if you live in a place where your vote quite literally doesn't matter

People who vote Republican are just as scummy as Republicans themselves.

As a Brit, I can see the sense on America having stricter gun laws but easy availability if guns is just one of the reasons for all of these deaths.

Canada also has pretty high levels of gun ownership but nothing like the murder rate. The primary differences are cultural and economic.

Most murders are not these mass shootings and a huge proportion are in inner city areas where drug gangs rule. Decriminalising drugs would probably reduce murder rates more than criminalising guns. I'm not advocating drug use, just pointing to a demand side solution. It's like prohibition era and I don't get why so few people make that link. More economic opportunities for urban youths would also undercut the gangs.

As of the mass shootings? The people involved are alienated young men. Improving mental health services can go along way to helping with that. As would comparing far right radicalisation.

I'm not looking to deflect here because I hate the NRA and support gun regulations. That alone though, won't solve the problem.

Yeah, I think stricter gun laws would help but that would do nothing about gun culture in America.

Here here I agree . In the US its public attitude that needs to change which is easier said than done .

I have to say, the voters have to shoulder the blame for this...😷

Pro choice. You mean Pro death.

Ok, I directly blame the voters (and non-voters) who enable this stuff rather than their proxies.

Now what?
