If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

— Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings

— More guns don't make us safer

— The vast majority of Americans want gun control

Inaction is a policy choice.

I think the rest of the world looks at the US + guns and just ends up totally baffled as to why this keeps happening, so how the USA is viewed on the world stage is impacted on these senseless shootings. The BBC say that the Monterey shooting was the 5th so far in 2023. then reported another shooting in Baton Rouge, no one has died apparently but something like 10 injured.
