And there are many.
But it terrifies me to think that some time in the future a story like this at El Paso will be aired ten minutes into the six o'clock news or in Section B of the local news rag. I hope there never comes a time when we just throw up our hands and walk away. This is an outrage.

(25,873 posts)If anything ever changed after one of these, I'd take heart. But NOTHING changes. Guns become easier than ever to get. No serious attempt is made to register them, or hold owners responsible if their guns are stolen.
It might take a mass shooting that directly impacts people in a position to effect real change, for anything to ever be any different.
