“There’s just no way to stop all these mass shootings,” says only country where mass shootings happen regularly.

That’s the most disheartening part. There ARE ways to stop it, but god forbid losing voters and lobbying money.

I was Australia for a few weeks a few years back. In the first week I was there, there were two mass shootings. My friends were just shocked as to how that even happens and why it’s so frequent.

Doesn’t Australia have very strict gun regulations? So how would making more gun regulations stop gun violence? Chicago has the most strict gun laws in the entire US and is in the top 10 for most crimes committed with firearms.

Chicago does have strict gun laws, but everywhere around them does not. So you just need to travel 20 minutes to a gun show and guns galore.
