And I am told that the numbers killed in such shootings, are small compared to the number of people who shoot themselves, family or friends, just by pure stupid accident, while cleaning and testing their guns etc. . Though I do not have the stats, and could be wrong.

We are a Third World country with a First World economy. We have a sick society with a sicker government. This is not sustainable. AMERICA, WAKE THE FUCK UP!

I love how safe America is with all these guns. The pro-gun people certainly have shown us ant-gun weirdos that more guns absolutely make us safer.

I guess safety simply costs the lives of a lot of innocent people.

When politicians vigorously defend the right to own firearms, the impression they give is that it is a viable way to resolve a problem and we see the devastation that results from it.
De-escalation is no longer a first choice, it is not even considered anymore.

What happened to the value of life?

Leave the guns - ban Hondurans with babies.

That's a lot of people being protected as a "well regulated militia" for the right to bear arms.

Oh...but...the 2nd amendment says we can murder one another with automatic weapons!
