Nah, we get it. We just don't think "It's too hard" or "it's too late" is a good enough reason to chalk it up

No clue how the hell you can say otherwise with a straight face.

I'd say we're trying but the recent election proves otherwise.

Banning assault weapons would go a long way towards helping the problem. Yeah, there are assault weapons already out there, but the reduction of supply will make it much harder for someone with ill intentions to get one.

I looked up the top 50 dangerous countries on the planet. The only countries that are more dangerous than the US are ones that have been destroyed by civil wars, drug wars, and military coups. What an amazing standard to hold ourselves to

We're ranked horribly compared to other developed countries.

Not trying to downplay this stat, but what's the population size in those countries in comparison to the US?

Today is the 273rd day of 2017.
Probably has nothing to do with the fact gun ownership per capital in America is WAY higher than every other country.

I'll say it again, and this often gets lost with people when mass shootings occur
To suggest that stricter gun laws will obliviate mass shootings such as last night's is pure fantasy and naive. The idea is that if you make it harder for people to get guns on a micro level, you'll aid in dealing with day to day crime, and hopefully on a macro level, 30 years from now, the rate of mass shootings will decrease by x amount of percentage and hopefully in that time, America's relationship with guns is healthier

Poverty has a lot to do with it though.
America can go a long way in improving the gun violence problem by solving the poverty problem.

Why go a legal route when it's easy to make your own gun from an un tracked incomplete stripped lower?
Theres way too many undocumented weapons out there now

Landed in Vegas this morning for work. As i was going to my hotel i saw the Mandalay Bay and the broken window on the 32nd floor. Most people on the strip seem down and sad.

Doesn't even really matter. When studies like those are conducted they're usually based per capita.
