When will mass shootings not be a regular occurrence in America?

I often feel ashamed of being an American. I'm ashamed I live in the same country with people that won't blink an eye when so many people are gunned down, but will freak out when you try to control the problem.

Why are we like this? When will this stop?

I wonder what’s causing the kids to snap

As a parent of two kids thru high school I really think the education system grinds kids down and then we act surprised when kids snap. We load way more stress on kids now than we did a generation ago. Social media etc only multiplies it@RedtheEmerald

I just recently graduated school so I know what it's like. My sibling is in fourth grade and they are teaching her pre-algebra. It hurts seeing her struggle.

The education system will never admit they have a hand in this.@RedtheEmerald

Everyone who is in control will refuse to take responsibility when things are bad. What makes it hard is no matter how much we try to fight it ultimately we don't have the complete say in the end. It's always the 1%.
