  • It's so bizarre seeing this horrible american ritual played out after every shooting.
    First there is the shock and grief of the incident and inevitably some Democrats start talking about trying to introduce some basic gun control measures, like background checks, smaller clips etc. Republicans say that now is not the time to politicise this incident and we should focus of grieving for the dead and injured. The NRA stays quiet for a few days until the headlines and initial trauma of the incident has blown over, then will come out all guns blazing about how the US needs less gun control. Then the scare tactics start about how the government is coming to take your guns, gun sales go through the roof and a backlash against any form of gun control starts. Before you know it, the incident has been forgotten and no action gets taken.

    Every single time.
