How many more? For god’s sakes, how many more?!

How many more?
How many more people must die in the United States before the body count becomes too much, even for the most obsessive, hardened, gun-”fans”?!
Twenty children plus six adults. Is that the price of American’s “right” to own lethal weapons?
God help your nation.
Because it sure seems that you people are incapable of it.

All of them, to the very last one it seems. The inevitable conclusion of kill or be killed.
The gun fanatics will only use this as an argument to supply loaded arms to school-children in order to ‘defend’ themselves.
I agree, VindowViper. such people are too selfish to think of anything except their own gun fetish. Meanwhile, innocent people will keep being killed because a minority of American’s obssession with guns.
The one thing that strikes me is that (apart from Harry Fear) no one is counting the children killed by cluster bomb and drone attacks.
Karma doesn’t really exist but this could be seen as such by the surviving families of those innocents killed in places like Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan etc..

The problem with banning people from using guns in self defence in the United States is that it would probably cause a revolution or civil war in the process. Now, unless one wants the lesser of two political evils (the Democrats)to never hold office again, its a bit of a rock and a hard place situation.
I was going to blog about this massacre, but decided it was not quite the right time.
I’d be interested in reading your views, Robert. Feel free to leave a link here, if you like?
Having had some contact with Americans, through my extended family in the States, I can vouich for one thintg; many if not most gun owners would more sooner loose their kids rather than give up their guns. They are that fanatical about gun ownership.
You ask how many more have to die Frank? The answer, sadly, is that their streets could run red with the blood of every child in America and gun nuts still wouldn’t make the connection.
No wonder there are so many mass shootings as many of them are unhinged to start with.
