More laws and more gun free zones won't solve the problem, that's what's funny.
Except the college wasn't a gun free zone, and there were people that day on campus with guns.
And they didn't step up to 'be the good guy with a gun', for very good effin' reasons.
No, more laws won't work, not because they don't, but because the American public does not
care enough about those who died by such means, and those who could still die by mass shooting.
American lives
don't matter to other Americans, unless it's some foreign towel-head, Russian, Slanty-eyed, terrorist type threatening them, then all of a sudden "'Murica!"
The US Government doesn't have a solution because people like the NRA and other "My 2nd Amendment rights trump your right to life!" types don't
want a solution, unless it's more guns, cause more guns means safer or something. If they don't have their 2nd Amendment sookie blankets/soothers/visible penile overcompensation apparatus, they turn into little kids that throw themselves down in department stores because mommy and daddy won't let them get the pretty shiny.
It's sad, it's pathetic, it's a total lack of regard for ANY human life (besides their own). The only reason I care anymore is because I worry about my friends in the US dying some day because some "person" decided to get a bunch of guns legally but then decided to do something illegal with them and finally make themselves a criminal (since you know, before the first gunshot, they're not criminals at all).
And remember kids, they're not crazy until they pull the trigger, and then "oh my god he was nuts" finally becomes a 'concern'.
For the record, guns to hunt are fine, guns to have as a collector thing are fine, guns for target practice stuff is fine.
That said, kids should be taught how to handle guns safely, guns should be locked away with a key out of reach of said kids, ammunition should never be in the same safe as a gun unless in a separate lock box and anyone that buys a certain range of ammunition within a six month period should be flagged and sent off to law enforcement so they can be checked into WHY they need six thousand rounds of ammo in their possession (because "'just cause" is not an answer and we learn this as children). Smart guns should be promoted, you don't need military grade guns in your civilian home, and if someone in your immediate family has mental issues, that means you are no longer allowed to own guns where they can easily get them. If you have a history of violence, you can't own guns. If you are mentally unstable and a violent person and are found in possession of a weapon, automatic charges and jail or prison time as you are a danger to the public. All of these are good suggestions to at least start a discussion about some sort of control on guns.
Which means no one will give a crap because, "Guns!"
