So on the mark.

Fix Fox news and Limbaugh, get big money out of politics, and our gun problems will get solved by citizens and politicians.

Right now gun manufacturers, the NRA, and GOP billionaires who want votes for cutting their own taxes dominate the conversation. Not regular Americans.

There are 300 million guns in the US. In other countries, they never had them, so it was easy to make there availability scarce. but here, the guns are already out there. There will be no getting rid of them. We're not going to turn into a total police state where everyones home is ransacked to look for a gun.
From the sounds I heard, these were automatic weapons, which are already illegal to own. And if he modified semi-autos, thats illegal too.

When there was a mass shooting in Australia, the was legislation and mass destruction of guns. They just don’t have NRA that misinterprets the well regulated militia!

When you get transferred over to a call to your reps, remind him/her that it's part of the "Share" act.

do??" I said we should do something, as we must be ok with this. We didn't change a thing after 20 six years olds were slaughtered in their schoolrooms.

Then I said we are the only place this happens as he stormed out of the room. Asshole.

Americans Hopeful This Will Be Last Mass Shooting Before They Stop On Their Own For No Reason

WASHINGTON—Expressing a sense of guarded optimism that the latest incident of gun violence that left 58 dead and 500 injured in Las Vegas would be a turning point for the nation, Americans across the country confirmed Monday they were hopeful this would be the last mass shooting before all such occurrences stopped on their own for no reason at all.

“After something as horrific as what happened in Las Vegas, we’re all just hoping that now these terrible shootings will stop once and for all without circumstances changing in any way or any of us taking even the slightest amount of action in response,” said Harrisburg, PA resident David Snyder, echoing the sentiments of tens of millions of citizens from coast to coast who told reporters they were confident that, after living through the most deadly mass shooting in modern American history and taking no material steps to change gun laws, reevaluate safety standards, increase access to mental health care, or even have a national conversation about how mass shootings could be avoided in the future, tragedies of this kind would at long last come to an end.

“Having seen acts of violence like this happen over and over again for years now, I’m really holding out hope that, despite every single factor that allowed them to occur remaining exactly the same, we won’t have to live through another day like today. I know everyone’s praying this will finally be the time this issue just disappears forever entirely by itself without anyone doing anything.”

At press time, Americans nationwide agreed that years of taking no measures whatsoever to prevent mass shootings may finally be paying off.

Mass murder and gun violence has become so common that we routinely filter it out and ignore it. Only when something more horrific than the previous most horrific act in history happens do we wake up just a bit and get pissed off. Then, after a few weeks of outrage we regain our numbness to it and go on our way.

The story to fit this headline has not turned up yet. Nor has the one about the baseball bat mass murderer.
