When will we ever learn?

A shooting at a school in: Moses Lake, Washington
Springfield, OR
Fayette, AR
Aurora, CO
Newtown, CT
Nickel Mine, PA
Virginia Tech
A McDonald's in San Ysidro, CA
A Cafeteria in Texas
A theater in CO
A Naval Yard in DC
A shooting from a college tower in Texas
and many, many more...............................in the words of song: "When will we ever learn?"

We need stricter gun control and we need it NOW!!!! in addition we need to rethink ourselves as a society....we have been conditioned since Reagan to think of ourselves and not the common good....that needs to be reversed!

I was originally trying to do the post chronologically. English isnm't my original language, so some times subtleties still escape me...sorry about that.

but the NRA is rolling out their PR and intimidation machine.
Many politicians will barely stand without spines and begin speeches with "I am not opposed to guns ........"
