This year in "sell more and do nothing"

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Just saying that you're being a bit premature in your judgement.  You don't know how this murderous thug got the weapon(s) he used, you don't know his background - in short you know no more about this tragedy than any of us.

For what it's worth, I agree with you that ' ease of access, flooded market, and crappy vetting laws' are issues your country needs to address.  But you can't possibly know if ANY of those had ANYTHING to do with THIS shooting.

Boru this is not "pre mature" on my part.

This is a 40 year old problem started when the NRA, which got hijacked by corporate interests and went from being a safty org to being nothing more than a heat shield profit lobby.

I have mentioned it in prior posts many times on this issue. My 1984 jr year HS yearbook as a picture of the McDonalds shooting in it. The  last time the GOP did anything reasonable on firearm safety laws was the Brady bill. But even that was neutered to the point of virtually being useless because of all the obstruction by the NRA leadership and the industry holding the nation hostage.

Parkland I think was the one event that is finally starting to change the tide. But, it should not take countless events, week after week, month after month, year after year, to stop it. 

It is sad that America is a country where people have to fear getting shot doing anything, shopping, going to school, going to a bank or bar. The amount of firearm death in America is simply unacceptable and letting the NRA and GOP and industry hold us hostage is why nothing effective ever gets done.
