‘Nothing we can do about this’ says only country where this happens regularly.
Murders happen in every country, firearm murders included although more rare in most of the western world.
That quote you’re using is used for mass shooting events it murders. If we use it for every time a firearm is in article it loses its impact
I feel like we should say it every time a mother is shot by her neighbor, or a regular commuter is shot by a police officer because he owns a gun, in the most prolific gun toting country on Earth. I feel like we should say it every time a man is killed on video by police, or a classroom of kids is gunned down and we continue to act as if the ONE thing we need to start doing absolutely cannot be done because it “impedes” the rights of those who do not live on the other end of that spectrum. It should never and will never lose its impact because people are straight up over this bullshit. It may lose its impact to the run of the mill armchair warrior, but that’s it, and I’m ok with that.
Edit: I’m sorry that I sound so bitchy JJROKCZ, I just got off shift with a trauma red in the bay, shot in the throat ffs. I appreciate your opinion and I’m glad we can have these conversations.
I agree guns are too accessible in America but we’ll never get rid of them as it is the second amendment to our constitution. I’m just saying that unfortunately battles must be picked otherwise those pushing for reform are just called hysterical fanatics and will be ignored by the masses
we’ll never get rid of them as it is the second amendment to our constitution.
So you’ve heard of amendments then…
The US is a country that says “citizens can own guns” and also says “cops can shoot citizens if they think they have a gun” so the saying applying to a majority of situations where a citizen dies to a gun is pretty fucking accurate.
