People are dying. And this happens over and over and over and over.
There is only one sane response: gun control. Now. End of debate.

I don't disagree with your post I really don't
But lets be honest, can we really say that American's want and or are interested in Gun Control?
We can debate it from the standpoint of a country that has had gun control forever.
But if a candidate ran on an election platform of "I don't give a crap, gun control, or fire arm bans are my priority" would the electorate vote him in?
I doubt they would.
And if a standing president lets say found a way to go around Congress and Senate and just enacted gun control laws, he would probably be voted out in the next election because the next candidate would campaign on returning to the Status Quo of today.
As much as we show sympathy for the victims and we absolutely should this situation is as much the fault of the politicians under the sway of the lobbyists as it is the fault of the American population as a whole
Saying Gun Control now doesn't get to the meat of the problem. The American population has basically decided that its ok to live with a suicide pact.
