Ever since old man Joe got cheated into office, that's all we hear about now. Thank goodness we have old Joe because Orange Man bad. Joe is so good for our country.
But he banned ghost guns and pistol braces, what more do you want.

Notice how Biden ignores mental illness and black on black crime.

5 decades of experience and this is the best Biden can do?

There are more than weekly mass shootings, 3 or more victims as defined by FBI.

Public schools routinely conduct mass shooting drills. There is a plastic bucket in most classrooms to be used as a toilet in the event of a lockdown. The ship has sailed. This is the way we roll in the US.

Thoughts and prayers, blah, blah, blah.

There are literally few hundred "mass shooting" deaths per year in the USA. Out of a country of 333 million people.

This is dwarfed by say, a single American city such as Chicago with simple handgun violence in any given year.

One is covered a lot. One isn't covered at all.

Strange.

For the 1,000,000th time. This is why we need gun control.

What law would have prevented this?

And yet we aren't seeing this happening in 2nd amendment Utopias like Wyoming, Idaho, Montana or a lot of other places with minimum restrictions.

I know I know if only we banned guns in Alaska then Chicago would be crime free. Dont blame the idiots doing the shootings, blame the law abiding folks.

We had "active shooter" drills at work. Which was promptly changed to "active assailant" drills for obvious triggering reasons when you say "active shooter."

It's not something anyone wants to think about, and when folks wonder why voting is worthless, tell them because politicians refuse to do anything about mental illness.

Once respects are paid to the victims, and if we all want to face reality, and more importantly to try to prevent it from happening again, yes it is political.

We have become a spoiled society. People get what they want, whether it is right or wrong, moral or immoral as well as getting away with things they need to be accountable for. And like spoiled little children, when they don't get what they want and or they feel like they were "wronged", evil kicks in.

All that is part of it. The other part is taking God out of society.

Now take a minute and think. Which party is contributing to this?
