As a Brit, I see how we implemented major gun control after a mass shooting in 1996 - twenty two years ago - and NEVER HAD ANOTHER ONE.
But gun control doesn't work...
"Mass shootings" are statistically negligible; they're just sensational. It's like how we have a huge thing about children dying from being left in hot cars: the number of incidents was something like ~40 per year. People get emotional because "won't somebody please think of the children?!" But it's really a non-issue due to its infrequency.
Hit the nail on the head. It's seriously a drop in the bucket. The sensationalization only exists for political fear-mongering.
Even if it was one shooting every ten years, that's still one too many.
Way to trivialise the deaths of everyone in those shootings for your own political agenda.
How about we don't enact sweeping laws affecting millions of lives for unfortunate incidents? Shit happens, and you can't always bubble-wrap everything. With the amount of people in this country, if you think of something, it will happen.
So to you were the Columbine killings just something that happened to someone else?
