I commented on some of the more popular videos about the latest mass shooting.
Filled with prayers and statements of how awful people felt.
All I said was that if nothing was done to curb this after Sandy Hook Elementary mass murders in 2012 (20 kindergarteners and 6 adults murdered), nothing would be done now, or ever. That we've decided that this is normal and acceptable: mass murder, prayers for the dead and for the living, expressions of horror, and then...nothing. No action to back up the words, because the NRA puppet politicians don't want that.
The reaction I got from the Second Amendment crowd (the only amendment to the Constitution that matters to them) was over-the-top hysteria.
My message to them: "Relax, you've won. Mass murderers have access to the tools you placed in their hands. The debate is over and your view--which is in the minority--has prevailed. This is the world YOU made. YOU. Every mass murder is by YOUR design. Be proud of YOUR accomplishment, because no other country has successfully convinced its people to accept the periodic murder of ordinary people where they work, shop, worship, or attend school, but this one. And that is YOUR accomplishment."
No, I will not debate anyone now or ever on the merits of gun control. I'm a realist, and the debate is lost. Abbott Elementary isn't the first mass murder in our country and it won't be the last. Nor will it be the biggest. The biggest and bloodiest are yet to come.
