If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

— Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings

— More guns don't make us safer

— The vast majority of Americans want gun control

Inaction is a policy choice.

@rbreich I view school shootings positively, to be honest. You can't treat the weird loner kid like absolute shit and make his life a living hell or he'll go Carrie on your ass. That's a good thing. Maybe people wouldn't shoot up a shopping mall or a church if we treated the weirdo loners with a quiet dignity.
