Yesterday there was yet another mass shooting in the USA. Apparently this is 355th mass shooting in the U.S. so far this year and the year ain't over yet.
What is the answer to stopping it? Ask the NRA, the GOP, the crazy guy who waved a gun at me back in May; and any of them will tell you the answer is more guns! Everyone must be armed if we want to be safe! We should be asking what type of firearm is appropriate for my second grader to carry to school in case his school is attacked by a mass murderer.
Or, could it be that adding more guns to the already gun saturated USA is like combating the smog problem by burning some more plastic—to cover up the stink?
So is everyone really still okay with all of this?
