It’s never going to stop is it

Ever since Sandy Hook, I’ve completely given up hope for anything ever changing. If 20 defenseless grade school kids being massacred at school didn’t shake this country to a realization that things have to change, nothing will.

Sadly not anytime soon. And here you just see the “mass” ones. There are literally hundreds of shooting victims each day you hear nothing about.

This has always been my thought since Sandy Hook. Especially when people started abusing the survivors. The will for guns is just too strong and the lobby for guns is even stronger still. It’s just devastating

Sadly, I don't believe it's only the sheer numbers of firearms and the resulting ease of possession one - it's a more deep-rooted, disturbing part of the psyche.

A country that consistently turns a blind eye to mass atrocities of any nature is going to struggle to ban one of the primary tools that the perpetrators use.

What has caused such a large number of people want to participate in mass murder?

Americans remind me of kids in a perpetual state of temper tantrum, or that one irate chimp at the zoo that makes all the noise and tries flinging poo at everyone.
