I don't love Republicans in 2023 - but I'd disagree.
I think the left focuses almost 100% on guns when things like this happen. As I said, that deserves to be part of the discussion - but it's almost impossibly simplistic, and as some have mentioned, we've had guns throughout our country's existence. Before Columbine, we never saw shootings like this - now, it's a very regular event.
We've let things slide, on every level. We're not being vigilant. I can't imagine being a child in today's world, and having to go through "active shooter" drills in elementary school. That's a much darker world than kids should have to deal with, and I'm sure has an impact on what kinds of adults they become.

It's awful. We all know it's awful.
But what do we do about it? I started a thread on here once about free speech, and got pretty slammed. But it's such a sacred principle - what if it doesn't work anymore? What if it really hurts us now?
Not that we shouldn't have free speech. But the internet is out of control. Social media should not be as toxic as it is - it's hurting all of us.
I sure would like to know how Mass shootings is not about gun violence in this country, and how this is the Democrats fault- or how this makes the Democrats bad, or how Democrats response to the murders is somehow bad in your eyes!
You said the Democrats are bad- I take that as an insult! I am ready to defend the Democrats position on this anytime you get ready Mr. Elite!
Perhaps you need to splain LUCY!
