What kind of society have we created that so many people are more eager to protect the right to own a military style assault weapon than to do everything possible to protect the life of a child? America’s collective gun fetish IS a mental health issue.

You’re the mental illness. It’s not about fetishes, although your desire to discriminate against anyone that doesn’t side with you is bordering a fetish, it’s about protecting one’s rights to be free from tyrannical gov. You give them all your rights…sheep!

America is most definitely mentally ill.

Even if the people had no right to own any kind of gun, the people who could own them, the cops, did nothing to protect the children, so not sure your argument holds water.

This has always been our society. The entire nation was stolen piece by piece with violence , much of it gun violence. And to this day guns and threat of violence is used as deterrence. We never cared for lives.

As are the massive amounts of weapons we flood the world with. We can't cheer on war and blindly trust our corrupt govt that it is for the common good. We cannot expect to solve our domestic arms issue until this addrssed. They are of the same cloth.

Your lack of understanding is hard for me to understand when you so eloquently describe most of the other things wrong with this country. But for some reason you want our mass murdering tyrannical government to legislate because what? They yield results? They are feckless.
