      As long as the GOP/NRA has any form of power, it’ll never get done. If slaughtering children in school won’t push them to do it, noting will.

      Look, if 26 1st graders dead wasn’t enough to make us do shit then certainly a hundred mass shootings a year (and beyond) of mostly adult age people won’t make us do shit either. After Sandy Hook the only other event I thought might do something was Pulse do to how many died, and it only took a few months for that record breaking 49 dead to be absolutely destroyed by someone who was looking to achieve 1st on this shitty leaderboard these insane fucks have created. Uvalde was the final nail in the “let’s do something” coffin when dying children in a classroom happened a second time in a quantity greater than 20 dead and still nothing. The voters in those counties even rejected the mom of one of the victims for office. So at this point every time it happens I’ve learned to not give a shit. I just hope we can keep it mostly contained to red states since they’re the ones dragging us down on this issue.

      We do. Do you not recall all the “thoughts and prayers” after each incident?

      That’s very optimistic by saying, “when.” It’s never.

      I have a solution but no one seems to want to do it.
