How pathetic a response? We are culpable for letting this go on year after year. Each time we say this is it, no more. But nothing happens. Our obsession with guns is greater than our love of our school kids or respect for teachers.
This graphic actually points out proof gun control doesn't work. There were AR-15's, high capacity 9mm pistols, semi auto shotguns, and other so called "weapons of war" further back than the start of this chart. In fact more restrictive gun laws have been enacted since the start of this graph, while violent attacks using a firearm appear to have increased dramatically in both the "red" and "blue" states despite these stricter laws.

Only liberals use the argument that their laws don't work because we need more of their laws. The fact is, our culture is deteriorating into a non Christian, violent, decadent and hedonistic pit of self destruction. As more and more depressed and sad losers get into positions of power and influence, the old axiom of misery loves company becomes more and more obvious.

I look at many of the sad, emotionally hollow and bitter people who mold and form our culture and especially the growth of our children and wonder how such emotionally and intellectually starved people ended up in these positions. Then I began to understand that as each came to a,position of power, they chose to add more miserable people like themselves to the fold. That was sad, but the real tragedy came when they infiltrated the public school systems and began to teach guilt, self loathing and anger to our children.

The problem in this country isn't guns, it is the self hating liberals who crave the destruction of happiness and success they do not feel entitled to themselves and thus because of their hatred do not want others to experience.

Absolutely spot on, and I despise religion. We've allowed our society to degrade and lose moral compass. Now when things are starting to implode, we want to try and legislate our way out of it. Sorry, it isn't going to work.
