President Joe Biden, freshly back from Asia, gave a sombre speech, which merged the gravity of a eulogy with the outrage of a prosecution. “What struck me on that 17-hour flight was these kinds of mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world…Why are we willing to live with this carnage?” he asked.
When it comes to guns, America is exceptional in three ways. Per head, it has the highest level of gun ownership in the world . It has a significantly higher share of killings with guns than countries like Britain and Canada, which have stricter controls. And unlike other countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, which have experienced mass shootings but adapted their laws in the wake of tragedy, America has refused to change its gun laws.
The lack of congressional action on gun control is its own sorry tale. After Sandy Hook, President Barack Obama gave the job of pushing through substantive gun-control legislation to his vice-president, Mr Biden. In 2013 a bill that would have introduced universal background checks on all gun sales failed in the Senate.

What America needs to do is act against the up to 1 million gang members in its territory and not heed to anyone who thinks that the Rights of the honest ought to be curtailed to go after scum.
Americans keep electing people who promise to allow MORE guns.
There is a serious disconnect between the fact that majority of Americans favor common sense gun laws and existing rules that are very lax with respect to acquisition and ownership of guns. The effect of money corrupting sound public policy.
The Republican party has been castrated by the NRA.
If only you had the courage to point to the right wing demagoguery that has led to this than make it look like just a political difference fight and dysfunction of America as a whole.
There is no correlation between the two events. Literally none. Quit playing on emotion to validate the fact you have the logic of a simpleton
طب ايش اسوي بالضبط ؟!
Not only that. They need to ban and do away with cars. They kill too much. Another thing... remember the Twin Towers and the planes, they killed several people. They need to ban planes too. Hypocrites.

No, BUT if you’re Texas Governor GregAbbott_TX you will force women to be pregnant and make it legal for unlicensed, untrained people to openly carry weapons. Thought & prayers.
US Should start looking inward and work to stop these incidents rather than medley in other countries business.
No, the US is in denial about its profound values and moral crisis.
Mental illness keeps getting worse, peoples addictions to their phones grows, and no one does anything about it.
So we are going to go for another gun grab instead of blaming the criminal. Got it.
No you’re not having our guns
