This weekend three shootings in Mississippi added to the growing total of violent deaths in the USA...

Never mind 'hopes & prayers', until the USA grabs the nettle of gun control it will continue to be a country patterned by the danger of gun violence....

Here's the Gun violence Archive to confirm the scale of the problem... as the NRA say 'its not guns that kill people its people'.... but if they didn't *have* guns....

@ChrisMayLA6 The problem is, there's no way to make sure the people don't have guns.

Literally, that is not an option. It doesn't even matter how lawmakers May vote, or what presidents may do, or whatever hopes and prayers people may have about people not having guns. That ship has sailed, people do and will have guns.

So given that reality, the question is what do we do from here?

People will have guns. We have to start from that fact.
