what’s so frustrating is that this “they’re a fact of life” mentality is a self-fulfilling prophecy. and the longer it continues to used as a justification for inaction, the harder it becomes to convince people that gun violence is a solvable problem.
yeah, but the solution is taking peoples guns away and many people (as do I) belive that the right to bear arms is an important human right
Only important in the US, though.
no, there are many countries with some gun rights actually (though they don't really have school shootings), like austria for example (you don't need a license for a lot of guns here and those you need the license for it's easy to get)
