Hate to say this but Congress, would not enact legislation to prevent these random murders, even if a member of their own family was a victim. Their fear is losing their positions. Not what is better for the country.
Congress woman Gabby Giffords survived a mass shooting and assassination attempt. She was shot in the head at close range. She went from a gun control moderate to fervent advocate. Gee, I wonder why? Sarah Palin’s people had just published a poster with crosshairs on Giffords’ electoral district which included a picture of Giffords. Of course SP had nothing to do with it. Why are so many shootings traceable to the Republican party in some way?
We could do better, but it probably won’t happen. Maybe if the very rich were the victims, rather than children, and innocent people all over the country. This is not a suggestion, just a fact.

Unfortunately, some want to go back to feudal, medieval Europe “normal”.

Been a long time now since the USA was anything at all resembling ‘normal’.

We’re in pretty big trouble if we begin thinking that mass shootings are “normal”…

90% of Americans want universal background checks, republicans block it. The tyranny of the minority. Why does the majority lose in a democracy?
