We do not have to live like this. No other country on the planet does.

@rbreich To be fair, no other country on the planet faces the challenges to NOT live like this that the US does. Most countries don't have reverence for weaponry enshrined in their constitution. And, for good or bad, that limits the options that the US has to address mass shootings. I'm not convinced there's a reasonable suggestion for improvement that doesn't immediately run afoul of 2A, before even considering whether there would be sufficient political will to implement.

The Cult of the Warrior. Manhood from the gun.

Most countries would not interpret the 2nd amendment as the US does , but yes US Culture, Propaganda ,and Profit from supporting & selling the means to kill wholesale is unique .Even so recent polls show the majority want something done , but the majority do not win elections in the US

@PBruce @LACanuck @rbreich the electoral college is a form of oppression, whether intentional or not
