In the same way that we treat burn victims with fire, and wipe our hands with e.coli after pooping.
Americans get all tooled up after these habitual gun massacres imagining that will somehow allow them to fight back against a concealed sniper.
It occurs to me to wonder if this is what Gene Roddenberry had in mind when he came up with the idea of the Prime Directive.

It's just nuts
Trump will do nothing, the NRA will stand firm and it'll all happen again. It's reported There's a shooting in or near a school once a week in the US. We only get to hear about the deadliest ones
One of my best friends from school moved to the States 10 years ago. He comes back every other year and we all go out for a curry and a catch up.
He's now the owner of 2 handguns and an assault rifle "...it's only a .22..." lol.
Over the curry we got talking about guns and laws and he's completely lost it. Trying to argue that guns don't kill people, people kill people etc. He sounded like a fucking lunatic.
I honestly can't see any solution over there. The facts are obvious but just seem to get ignored. They have a huge, huge problem.
RIP the victims.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
But in 2018, they're so common that they only get reported internationally when they're far worse than the one Geldof was writing about... which was two dead, nine injured.

With guns is it is so impersonal, you can kill people from a good distance and a lot of them at a time.
In sharp contrast to the kid over here who stabbed his headmaster to death. A terrible tragedy but would have been much worse had the perpetrator had access to firearms.
I love a lot about America, my son and daughter in law live there and I'm popping out for a month quite soon (Florida as well) but the funny thing is nobody ever talks about guns, you never know who is a gun owner and who isn't.
It only takes one red mist moment to turn somebody into a killer if they are armed. Possibly why you don't see so much road rage out there.
One thing I will say is that gun ownership does even up the playing field. An old person doesn't have to live in fear of intruders/burglars or being beaten as happens here if they are handy with a pistol/shotgun and with the Castle laws enacted in many states in the US anyone breaking into your property is fair game.
*caveat in case it's not obvious, I am not advocating the shooting of gun shop customers, anyone who does must accept full responsibility for their actions.

If a party ran for office and promised gun control in their manifesto they would lose. It's a dead argument because the US is too far down that road.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I think a ban on assault rifles would be feasible. People are getting more and more fed up. You don't need and assault rifle for hunting, or for basic self defence. A lot of states have already banned heavier weaponry like that.
I don't think you will ever get rid of handguns, but limiting magazines to something like 6 shots would be a step in the right direction.
I think things like that would be feasible eventually - although it will probably take more incidents like this first.
At what point does it just become us shouting at clouds? Just build a wall around the whole place and forget about them. They're lost.
