You may have your own reasons for being anti gun control but I really do not believe that any sensible person can argue successfully against gun control laws being the only realistic answer to try and stop or lessen these kind of incidents.
Gun control laws are not the elephant in the room here they are the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the room.
you are wasting your time bro, americans will never change. They dont want change. They dont really give a ****. People will send condolences and act all sad on internet, but then when it comes to actual practical changes, they will say no to all of them and will always have bunch of arguments why it cant be done. It has happened dozens of time before and it will happen again.
How about create a digital weapon resgister instead of the ridiculous paper card system that works right now? its not 1700s anymore people.
How about setting up a national mental healt system... bc mental healt should be part of health system too!
How about restricting military grade gear for civilians. Silencers, big magazines, semi autos....you dont need semi auto to hunt or protect yourself.Get a shotgun. It has a good spread (read in bull burrs voice)
How about having to do series of test (health, mental, laws, skills) before getting a legal gun?
things could be done to improve the situation, but NOTHING will happen. just watch.
