mass shootings don’t require thoughts and prayers, they require a willingness to act

we endlessly debate abortion rights, but are unwilling to protect life once it is born. it is sickening that shootings like today’s keep happening. unless one assumes Americans are just more violent by nature (which I don’t think is true) then all the data from around the world, clearly shows this is a solvable problem. no need for thoughts and prayers, solutions exist. these events are a manifestation of our (specifically of Republicans) unwillingness to act.
