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.

Don't forget about amurca's love affair with war and death. Invading countries nonstop for the last 20 years with hardly a peep from the US public.

It’s this cult of individualism and it’s gone too far. @IAmAmnaNawaz had been interviewing some of the children and she shared that “talking to these kids you get the sense they know the burden of their safety has shifted to them.” That’s a staggering indictment of our society.

What kind of society have we created that so many people are incapable of seeing that the 1st root of all our problems is that we are a country that has *NEVER* done anything(400+yrs) ethical good for the world to gain it's power??? One with mass killings.

Comment on Chicago sweetness-its not the weapon, it’s an out of control amoral society. Do any of the killers attend church or prayer meetings with regularity? There’s the problem.

My heart 💔 4 the society we created & continue 2 perpetuate due 2 greedy Gov & Corps. Bans cannot be done due 2 SCOTUS nor can we trust our Gov while greed rules the roost no matter the party. Practical, common sense gun legislation could get done & not overturned by SCOTUS.

Being a non USA citizen nor a resident of your great country, which I admire, I have thought the same analogy. It’s not a personal right to own a killing machine to hurt other human beings. Lives are more important than the right to own a gun. Families are really scared.

Exactly. The right says it is a mental health issue. I say anyone who wants to own an AR-15 or multiple guns already has a mental health issue and therefore, should be disqualified from owning them.

If your plan is to vote to end the slaughter of children just know you are planning on allowing the slaughter to continue for at least a year, maybe 3 and probably 7. 17 more children have died at the end of a gun since last Tuesday’s massacre. #GeneralStrike to #EndtheSlaughter
