[QUOTE="dgiharris, post: 74004568, member: 322579"] I remember the first "big" mass shooting that happened... Columbine... I remember thinking how insane that was. but never in my wildest dreams back then would I have thought that not only would mass shootings become a "normal" thing in the US news cycle, but that Congress and the America people would tolerate it. Not only do we tolerate it, we refuse to do anything concrete about it. We give some lip service and pass super light token legislation all the while ignoring the 800lb gorilla in the room... Somehow we've bought into logical fallacy arguments "against" gun control, arguments we do not apply to anything else. In any event, it is a shame, doesn't matter how many mass shootings there are, doesn't matter how many people or even children get killed, we as a society just refuse to even "try" to do anything about it. So lets go ahead and do the dance... Because this was impossible to prevent therefore there is no need whatsoever to even try to prevent future occurrences. [/QUOTE]
