This is what happens when you kick God out of the country.
Sadly, you're beyond being embarrassed at posting such pathetic things.
Two points:
One, the American violent crime rate is at a 50-year low - so your absurd fantasy that as America has gotten less pious we've also gotten more violent is simply wrong.
Two, what kind of disturbed individual are you where you imagine that something worthy of worship violently kills young people as retribution for what other people in society do?
No, it won't change, enough Americans are too enamored with guns for that to happen. These incidents are largely seen as a kind of tax for the right to bear arms. My message to those who support liberal gun laws is - let's see no vigils or tears - or hand wringing from you in the aftermath of these shootings, just walk away stoically into the sunset. To have it both ways is just embarrassing.
Why didn't the EXISTING gun laws that made the use of the gun illegal in this act work?
Only took one post for someone to blame guns....and not blame the aspect of our society where someone feels the need to commit a mass murder.
If I walk up to someone and hit them with a baseball bat, are you going to get angry at the bat, or wonder what the hell possessed me to do such a thing and how to prevent that?
Indeed, much easier to blame symptoms rather than the source of the problem(hint:goes way beyond the device of blame). Simpleton type logic that much of the herd buys into. But sadly it makes for good talking points for some politicians, doesn't it? More than a few politicians will never let a good tragedy go to waste to further their own self serving selfish agendas.
