| This has been an ongoing problem in our country, and our politicians cannot agree on ANYTHING to help solve it. Is it really that hopeless? What, if anything, can we do?? |

| Gun buybacks + free therapy for everyone + easy access to free institutionalization |

| Also, offer $1M per gun to owners. |

That's basically what Australia did. Nothing will happen here. Nothing. |

| I've said it before and I'll say it again: If Sandy Hook and Uvalde didn't move the needle, nothing will. Nothing. |

Red flag laws. Background checks. Waiting lists. Banning high capacity magazines. |

It blows me away that we can't agree on just one of these things. Just ONE, for crying out loud. |

| There is no way to eliminate it but it angers me when the headlines use shooter as a label when in fact they should show their picture and label them what they are, a coward and a murderer. There is also too much delving into their issues etc. and at times it's almost as if it's being done to 'understand' them. I go back to the top in my comment, unless they have a brain tumor, they are a coward and a murderer. |

| I don’t want to know their name or see a photo of them. It just causes future shooters who want that attention & notoriety. |

This is pretty much it. Will cost money but save lives, which is why the GOP won't vote for it. |

| Everyone knows what needs to be done to stop the mass shootings but this country is full of nut jobs and no Republican will ever pass any legislation. If Biden even does an executive order citing a national emergency, it will be struck down by the clowns sitting on the Supreme Court. This country is doomed. If you have the opportunity, do your kids a favor and move to another humane country that values kids lives over weapons of war. |

As a parent, we need to harden our schools, which we can do today!
We also need to improve mental health after we (let’s be honest) way-over did it with the Covid lockdown, and harmed so many kids health. The out of control social media isn’t helping; in fact it’s making things worse. These partial solutions are realistic and achievable. |

This is depressing as hell. We're supposed to be one of the leading countries in the world, but we can't get our sh*t together to protect our kids. |

All good but why can't we institute universal background checks? What's so terrible about it? |
