    You didn’t get down 👇 voted so probably no one’s offended. I totally agree with You btw. And I just wanted to add this; I think our government and corporations should fix this shit ASAP. But I don’t think 🤔 “We the people” can do much about it if politicians don’t listen to our outcry for better gun control policies

      I’m just on edge, so I’m preemptively apologising for my snark.

      ‘We the people’ elect those politicians, so yes, ‘we the people’ can do something about it.

      And that’s the least we can do. There’s very rarely an actual public outcry over these things. This one was weird because he evaded capture for a while. They usually either shoot themselves on the scene or are captured within hours.

        I believe majority of Americans want stricter gun laws. So why are the politicians that the people voted in not doing anything about it (then)?

        Same way I believe that majority of Americans want affordable education, housing, medical care, ETC…

        Why doesn’t the government (whether Republican or Democrat run government) do much about it, or why are they never able to fix the issues?
