I know people care. I remember the thread about Daniel Tchetter.
The 'ongoing' thread just seems disgusting because it seems like it is being done to cheerlead the fact that the US is screwed up, and guns are to blame.

I didn't take 'ongoing' as a way to cheer about how screwed up the US is becoming. I find it quite sad, and presume everyone else does as well. The NRA and their stance now and over the years, at least to me, is very obvious proof of how extreme, uneducated and selfish Americans can be. I don't see anyone cheering about that.
