Dear United States,

What the hell is wrong with you?

Your lack of gun control has caused the deaths of countless innocent people, but nothing changes.

How many people have to die before something is done.

You all cite the 2nd amendment, but it's old legislation that predates the advanced weapons and munitions of today.

Enough already.

Yours sincerely,

David Kirlew-Morris

The GOP is in bed with the NRA. They care more about gun rights and gun maker's profits than they do about the American people or America's children.

Article: Michigan rep. to GOP mass shooting-enablers: "F*ck your thoughts and prayers."

"Michigan State Rep. Ranjeev Puri's message to people like Rep. Andrew Clyde (who giddily handed out assault rifle lapel pins to his colleagues in the U.S. House a couple of weeks ago) doesn't beat around the bush:

"Today, we begin to collectively heal from the horrific events which transpired, tomorrow we work. My official statement regarding the Michigan State University shooting is below: Fuck your thoughts and prayers."

This is one of the big issues with #GunControl and #MassShootings in the #USA. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a US law which protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products.

Good morning Mastopeeps!

Well, doesn't seem like I missed much over the weekend.

#Trump is back at The Other Place.

The awful #WorldCup is still going ahead.

#MassShootings are still going on in 'Muricah.

#Ukraine is still being attacked by Russia.

#Poverty is still rife in the UK with the ongoing cost of living crisis.

Health Harms of Mass Shootings Ripple Across Communities #Trauma #ACEs #MassShootings #SDOH

"A grim and familiar pattern has followed the parade of mass shootings across America. In their aftermath, the nation’s attention focuses on the direct victims of the attacks, the dead and injured, their families and friends, and the witnesses.

"But a growing body of research reveals that the negative effects of mass shootings spread much farther than previously understood, harming the health of local residents who were not touched directly by the violence. Mental health experts say the recognition should prompt authorities to direct more attention and resources toward preventing such events — and helping a broader group of people after they occur."

It took #CNN anchors over 3 minutes to list all the US cities that have had #MassShootings
this year. It's only May.

If you believe, the May 14th mass shooting in #BuffaloNY was the latest example of #massShootings in the #US, you are badly mistaken.

Yesterday (May 15th) alone, there were 3 more mass shootings with 3 more dead and 15 more injured.

This is dystopian #madness to an extent barely believable for any halfway decent mind.

I just don't get it.

The May 14th mass #shooting in #BuffaloNY, with 10 people killed and 3 more injured, is just the latest in a devastatingly looong list of #massShootings in the #US in 2022 alone.

How can anyone with half a brain object to #GunControl, godammit?
