Mass shootings have been happening under BOTH parties presidential terms. Trump or any politician point fingers is just posturing. What I would rather hear is HOW we can tighten up gun control purchase and ownership issues without trampling on the second amendment. Or how we could start school programs on how to recognize depression and anger issues in yourself, and what to responsibly do about your own feelings. Every time I hear the NRA protecting the publicโs right to own military hardware, or someone blaming someone or something else for mass shootings like this it just makes me ill. At what point do we say ENOUGH TALK, do something. Prayer vigils, flowers, and people giving speeches are sweet AFTER an event such as this. But where was the SUSTAINED push for change in the weeks before this event? My fear is that as this event fades from our memories, so will itโs urgency. And just for the record, I am a gun owner, not an NRA supporter, and I am in favor of stricter gun ownership laws. Everyone, including the NRA should be working together on this issue. Including revisions to the second amendment. In the 1700-1940's there was some truth to the thought that an armed populace could protect America from outside invasion. However, given the current advanced state of military technology, that concept has been rendered not just obsolete, but ludicrous.
