Its not that it is not a big deal, it is that it appears pretty much impossible to ever get any traction on changing gun laws so people just don’t fight it as hard.

It’s pretty simple...
When Congress refused to renew the assault weapons ban, then refused to act after Newtown, they sold our children’s safety down the river in the name of gun money.
The one thing I really can’t get over: We don’t really care. Not really. 17 dead by my last count (It might have since changed, but I was out), and it’s not that big of a deal. Sure, it made the news, but it isn’t really shaking us. It’s just kind of normal. Sad, but normal. Think about how we would have reacted five…
I’m a pro second amendment guy but even I know no one needs an ar-15. Semi auto weapons may be useful against feral hogs and packs of coyotes but they are designed to kill humans. And no civilian should have that. Will criminals still get their guns? Sure. But it will prevent the first timer from committing their only…
A gun amnesty/buyback program would not violate anyone’s rights. No one needs an AR15 for hunting.

Obama was extremely passionate about gun control. But surprise, surprise he was stymied by the Republican Congress at every turn. I agree that it is all very disheartening, but the best we can do is ask our elected officials about this very issue, make them take a stance, and vote for people that will do something.
At least Obama tried to do something about it. Now that Republicans control the government the silence is deafening when it comes to doing anything about these shootings.
Except in every country with tough gun laws.
True, but tighter laws would likely reduce mass shootings. I don’t think anyone believes they’s be stopped altogether, but reduction is still a worthy goal.
Innocent people die every day due to gun violence and it’s this type of bullshit argument that hinders progress and talks for a lot of people. Politicians use it because they’re afraid of pissing off their voter bases and people that think owning an AR-15 is some natural way of living use it to stop people from…
Sandy Hook was over 5 years ago, can we talk about it now?
You are so right! Check out our cool blog, which shows why people like you are the only thing that keeps our kids truly safe in America! We follow back!
Taking a class and having a license would make it a tad harder than what I faced and I’d be in favor of that.
Correct. They were actually reasonable at one time. After JFK was assassinated they even adopted a more moderate stance and I believe agreed to not allow mail order sales of guns. Unless I’m confusing some details of shit I read in the past.
Ironic for a man whose livelihood was solely based off shooting.
Bless Steve Kerr. I agree with every word. My only issue is with Connor Letourneau’s caption to the tweet: “Steve Kerr’s full quote denouncing the Trump administration’s handling of gun violence in America”. Kerr didn’t specifically call out the Trump admin, and he shouldn’t. EVERY past administration and…
“Not building some stupid wall for billions of dollars that has nothing to do with our safety, but actually protecting us from what truly is dangerous.”
“...hopefully we can find enough people with courage to help our citizens remain safe and focus on the real safety issues. Not building some stupid wall for billions of dollars that has nothing to do with our safety, but actually protecting us from what truly is dangerous, which is maniacs with semi-automatic weapons…
