Once again in America, the "Thoughts and Prayers" factory has gone into overdrive after a gun-toting maniac opened fire on a bunch of innocent people with the only goal to kill or wound as many as possible. This time 12 died when a 28 year old ex-marine supposedly suffering PTSD opened up in a bar in Thousand Oaks, California with a Glock 21
And an extended magazine, before allegedly turning it on himself. Among the dead was a sheriff's deputy who was among the first law enforcement teams at the scene. Apparently the man (who's name HAS been released but who I won't identify 'cause he's a piece of shit) shot a security guard outside the bar before entering to start his rampage.
It was just October 27th another nutbar with an assault rifle opened fire in a Synagogue, killing 11. Does America have a gun problem? The NRA and president "The Donald" would say "no". Bull Fucking Shit. It's become almost a daily occurrence when I tune into my local radio station and hear of yet another shooting. In fact, in the past 311 days of 2018, there have been 307 mass shootings, leaving 328 dead.
Some of the people I follow on social media, who happen to be American, would suggest armed guards in public places. They also say if "someone had a concealed, the death toll wouldn't be so high", an actual quote. Bull Fucking Shit again. True, someone packing heat may get a lucky chance for a lucky shot to halt a rampage, but would more likely add to the death toll by hitting more innocent bystanders.
This has quickly, and unintentionally, turned into a rant, but the bottom line here is that the U.S government, while not repealing their precious 2nd amendment, needs to look at some form of gun control. Either that, or start building more "Thoughts and Prayers" factories.
Rant (now) over.
'Nuff said.
