Other countries have crime and mental health challenges. What they don’t have is more guns than people. Only America has that. Enough with the excuses. It’s the guns.

We don't need guns! We are much safer without them! It's been proven worldwide!

The sun will rise in the west before anybody in power will do anything meaningful regarding gun control.

The republicans won’t budge and trump doesn’t care, and vice versa. It will never stop. They don’t care if children die so long as the gun industry keeps money flowing to them. Thinking it’s time we just face it. To any decent person’s horror America is only about greed. I only wish Hell were real.

It's only been like 30 years of this being the norm. The US usually needs 100 years or so to change it's ways.

Yep. Unfortunately for the Republicans it’s just “Lather ( mass shooting), Rinse ( thoughts and prayers ), Repeat ( another mass shooting).

Get rid of the fucking guns and the fucking Republicans stopping it! Every fucking one of them. Republicans aren’t even worth directly responsible for the murder, injury to and deaths of all these children.

I believe mental health plays a much larger role (it's far from "just guns"). Nearly every household in Switzerland has military grade weapons in its closets (military service is mandatory and, once completed, they become permanent "reserves"). They don't have our mass shooter problem.

Guns, mental health, poverty, inadequate mental healthcare, normalization, lobbying by the NRA, etc. etc. The list goes on. But here's the thing: removing only one of those things (the guns) drastically reduces the number of school shootings. Remove the guns while we address the rest.

I was surprised to learn that we're not number one. (But we are really bad as far as developed countries.) It's an interesting topic to Google. And, yes, it's the guns.

They also have better and low cost or free mental health care. But here, that would mean companies and churches have to pay taxes and so do their upper management. But Republicans believe owning guns and no taxes is the American Way.

Reason we have so many guns is because of collectors who each have hundreds. If we didn't have that we probably would have the same rate as Switzerland.
