It's just the way it is.
Hundreds of thousands of our citizens will continue to die by the gun.
How other civilized societies have managed to get rid of their guns and thrive is beyond me.
Aren't they afraid of their own tyrannical governments 'taking over'?
Aren't the criminals running free amongst them terrorizing their citizens (because regular folksi aren't armed, of course)?
Either all guns are gone, or we continue to live with the consequences.
Smart folks already know which choice has been made.
Just keep the press conferences short & sweet please.
SHIT HAPPENS.
We also have a parenting problem.
I also think the country has an issue with guns as well. I love cars, but you can't buy a funny car and race it through a school zone.
People that want the ability to use deadly force to protect themselves need to reconcile themselves to the fact that the 2nd Amendment explicitly includes the words "well-regulated" as well as "right to bear arms."
Are you saying peoples rights should be taken away MS? With legislation? History has shown how well that works out. And uhhh... Regarding those other civilized societies: Look at the most recent data. Violent crimes and suicide rates are up.
