Current Events > 'No way to prevent this' says only country were this regularly happens.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Two major shootings in less than a day and one within the last week is completely unacceptable. It's getting to the point where I'm scared to do anything anymore. My dad is going across the country for business and I'm scared I'll never see him again. There's a huge festival in my hometown every year and I'm scared someone is gonna shoot it up one year. I can't even stomach living in this country anymore.

it's just part and parcel of living in gun-nut country

America: for me it was Tuesday

America has long got past the point where anything will be done.

If repeated shootings where dozens of school children are gunned down accomplished nothing, then what exactly will?

Your politicians have accepted that children's lives is a fair price to pay for NRA money.

Never going to do anything about guns so make it mandatory paid for by the government for everyone to wear bullet proof vests in public
---

Sometime in the future america will make a "shooting holiday" where they take a day off work to remember the victims while gorging themselves on fast food.
---

the majority of people don't care. why do people keep posting this shit every time.

people.still.don't.care.

they would rather let .0001% of gun owners commit mass shootings while 99.9999% of people get to keep their freedom to own whatever guns they want.

another shooting won't change that.

I'm guessing those countries that have suicide bombers every few days don't count for the "only country" phrase?

What else is he supposed to bark about in 500 posts?

Look how angry all of you are at the state of this country.

I live near a democratic college town and I always worry about some Trump loving gun not doing something in this city. There are a ton of different races, religions, sexualities this city is known to have and its the perfect haven.

No way to prevent this says country that has an unhealthy obsession with deadly weapons.

But guns are fun! Havent you ever pushed in a magazine and slapped the bolt release before taking aim downrange and clustering three tight shots on a target?

...

Well I havent but Call of Duty makes it seem fun.

If Sandy Hook and the Vegas shooting didn't change anything, then nothing will

We had a psychopath literally murder small children in the halls of a school, then we had a piece of shit fire several hundred rounds and kill/wound hundreds turning Vegas into a warzone.

Absolutely fucking insane shit and the country sent thoughts and prayers and moved on with their days

Come on America, get your fucking shit together. No other first world country in the world has this going on.

Just to be clear, i wasn't trying to "normalize" anything.
Just that the term "only country" is stupid in almost any context.
"Only First-world" nation would probably be accurate, though
