Yikes.  A transgender person committing a mass shooting at a Christian private school.  Culture war on steroids.  Notice nobody really even cares that six people are dead because it happens literally every day and it’s all about politics now. No wonder our society is so messed up.

How can you can say that nobody cares that six people are dead when it is literally the top story everywhere?

Many millions of people care, but our political system makes sure that nothing can be done about it.

That's why it becomes about politics.

I should rephrase that.  People do care, but not enough to do anything more than rage tweet about it for twelve hours until the next big story comes around.  The people making this about transgender issues because the shooter happened to be part of that community are especially gross.

To be fair, mass killings have also increased in frequency in Canada, which has much stricter gun laws.  Several of these have involved firearms.

Just in the last few years we have seen...

Dec 8/22: 6 killed by gun in Vaughan, Ontario
Sep 4/22: 11 killed by knife in Saskatchewan
Jun 6/22: 4 killed by truck in London, Ontario
Apr 18/20: 22 killed by gun in Nova Scotia
Apr 15/19: 4 killed by gun in Penticton, BC
Jul 22/18: 2 killed and 15 injured by gun in Toronto
Apr 23/18: 11 killed by truck in Toronto
Jan 29/17: 6 killed by gun in Quebec City

So to say that it is entirely unique to the United States is not true.  That said, these events do occur with greater frequency in America due to the country's lax firearm laws and overall "gun culture" that doesn't exist in other Western states.  But I think there is more at play here.

Would passing legislation to ban these guns prevent these shootings, or is violence and gun culture so engrained in the American psyche that these laws would end up being ignored?

It saddens and disturbs me deeply that not only are there people who commit such horrifying acts of mayhem for whatever so-called reason, but that far too often (more often than in the past, or so it seems) the responses from so many “sides” are so f—ked up and disgraceful.

So far, there have been but a handful of posts in this thread that I thought were worth reading. FFS, can’t we do better? Or is this forum just as bad as Twitter?!

Mass shootings are literally a daily event and people are so desensitized now it just becomes another statistic.   Even Joe Biden, he opened his first public address after the shooting like it was comedy night in America, and the whole audience was laughing while he talked about his fridge filled with ice cream.  It’s not Twitter or USGD, America is broken.
