How many more students need to die before America does something about gun violence?
Posted by catcherofthefade@reddit | AskAnAmerican | View on Reddit | 23 comments
No other nation with a comparable level of development has the same level of gun violence and mass shootings. It's not even close. Are inanimate objects like guns more important than the lives of children to many people in the U.S.. Are school shootings just so normalized that they are a piece of America culture like baseball and apple pie? It certainly seems that way.

What do you propose?
Luckytxn_1959@reddit
Exactly. Make a stupid rant but gives no helpful advice propose solutions would help at least to get a dialogue going.

Regulate guns as much as we regulate cars, at least. Background checks, mandatory training, licencing with renewal.

All of them, I don't care

During the Sandy Hook shooting, 20 kids aged 6-7 were shot and killed.
Absolutely nothing was done at the federal level.
Nothing is ever going to change.
Acrobatic_End6355@reddit
Right. Politicians have proven time and again that they don’t give a fxck. Most recently with the entire Uvalde catastrophe.

Yup, and I hate "think of the children" arguments, but they do work on a large part of the country.
We're talking a bunch of kids no older than seven getting slaughtered.
If THAT didn't convince people that things need to change, what the hell will?

Can't even make good bait

Entire account is bait

This is a character attack. Try actually addressing my post.

I would genuinely like to know what you expect people to say that hasn’t already been said the countless other times such events have happened. You are not the first person to soapbox about this by any means.

At this point I assume someone could kill every child in the US with a gun and the answer from the right would be "oh well, thoughts and prayers." There is no amount of blood that is to much for them.

It’s a mental health problem at its core. There used to be shooting clubs in schools, and high schoolers had gun racks at school for their hunting rifles in some places. Fix the mental health problem and you will fix the gun violence problem.

I guess you haven't stepped foot in a target rich environment in a while. Do you work from home?
UltimateAnswer42@reddit
Ah yes, because reddit is the absolute bastion power and government control and people that spend their time here totally can affect what our government actually does. Notice how we have universal healthcare and a free national high speed rail system?

Do you think someone in here is going to give you a number? We aren't happy about it either. Most of us are terrified sending our kids to school.
