Guns are a way of life there for too many people. Sadly these killings won’t stop unless Americans stop accepting owning a gun is normal. Guns are owned by too many mentally ill people with no checks. Or they get access to them. Just thank God you live here!

As a fire arms license holder in the UK, I am appalled at the lack of checks in the USA on who can carry a gun, when will they learn. Those poor people, it is beyond appalling that it has happened yet again.

Those poor poor kids and their families.

Theres nothing to say really. Politicians will offer their thoughts and prayers and nothing will change. It’s sickening.

Yes indeed, here we go again: our hearts ache … thoughts and prayers … unconscionable tragedy … something must be done …

Groundhog Day, with assault rifles.

Absolutely horrific.
I just don't understand why nothing is ever done to prevent these shootings with changes to gun laws. They just let it happen time and time again..

@Poppik its because they seem to think that their “right to bear arms” (a hangover from centuries ago) is more important than their children. It’s jut sickening.

How many more people have to die before they do something. There was a TikTok about how many mass shootings there has been in the US so far this year, it’s frightening and heart breaking.

They will do the square root of fuck all, after a couple of days’ hand-wringing.
