Just absolutely mind boggling how frequently this happens and literally nothing is being done about it. What a sick country.

They ARE doing something about it.

Financing the whole thing!

"They ARE doing something about it. Financing the whole thing!".

No they are not. You seem also out of control, buddy.

It's all a mix of the second ammendment, their interpretation & execution of that law, a dominant military and guns lobby system (Billionaire$); people loving their guns, no access to good (mental) health care, which allthogether is holding their country hostage, imho.

So yeah, its all out of control. And nothing has changed, except that it's getting worse.

add.(mental) healthcare

That's why we use per capita for statistics like this. It doesn't matter who has more people if you adjust for population. Now, you could argue density is the problem, but in less dense places in the US the rate is even higher, so...
