Must be social media's fault.

It's beyond politics, it's down to greed, soooo much money is made in the States from guns and the associated gubbins until that's not the driving force nothing will change.
Then you also get the nutters going on about how the second amendment protecting people's guns stops gun crime and don't dare take their guns off of them etc its all a mess..

Could Facebook not create detection for picking up stuff like that and automatically alerting the Police, then the necessary authorities can decide on what to do I appreciate this was 30 minute window though.
It just banned my friend for meme he posted years ago clearly have detection system in place.

Let's attack the 1st amendment instead. Regulate and ban Facebook and Twitter. They are evil. All their fault. Video games as well. Oh yeh immigrants should have all their rights removed.
Whilst they may have been real, I suspect they were replica, airsoft or deactivated. The reporting done on this types of things is incredibly poor because most people don't really understand the terminology. "An UZI handed into the police" for example doesn't mean it actually fires. But I would be interested if this is available as a link?
Most of these are gang related, as are most of the firearm homicides in the U.S, that's why you don't hear about them and why that number seems so shocking.

Aye, but per capita figures from 2021 show Switzerland 13 times higher than the UK.

As of today there have been 13 more gun deaths in the USA since the Texas school shootings.

Amazing that school boards have been accused of child abuse by mandating masks during covid but try and make it harder for people with mental health issues to purchase guns so helping safeguard kids....

And they will continue with no prospect of gun laws being amended.
Murders? Self-defence? Suicide?
If you disarm the populace the criminals will still get guns so you will have a spike in crime. Burglaries are relatively low in the US but I’d imagine they’d increase a lot if there was no prospect the homeowner would be armed.
I don’t ascribe it to greed but you’re right there are a lot of jobs in the firearms industry and related sectors. Which politician is going to vote to make them unemployed?

One that doesn't like kids being killed.
It would be terrible if a few more TVs got stolen and less kids were shot.

I think it includes all of those:

Hahahaha
Are you for real?
Most of the reason nothing ever gets changed is because of the extreme politics that exist in America, the partisan nature of it.
One of zero compromise on certain things which allow nothing to ever be done.
Then another schools hooting happens que thoughts and prayers, nothing happens again.
Rinse repeat.
There is only one party that is completely obstructionist.
Of course you’re right. I still don’t think that much will change. I believe a constitutional amendment requires a super-majority in the House and Senate so an uphill struggle.
Individual states could introduce restrictions but would be open to legal challenge as being unconstitutional.
What, kill four people at once? I don't even know where to start with the stupidity in that statement so here's a LOL.

I know right? wtf.
