1. While we've been endlessly debating "why" so many mass shootings happen in America,

the rest of the world figured it out long ago: it's the god damned guns. The common thread running through all these massacres is guns, and without guns these tragedies wouldn't happen.

3. Amen!

4. This is America

5. Sorrow isn't needed.

That's for those directly affected.

Some self righteous white hot anger and indignation that America has come to this low point through inaction on guns would work better.

But only if it led to some positive action to stop the next one.

Every country has it's share of angry and confused 18 year old males.
Only America makes it easy for them to go shoot up a mall, a church, a school.

A country would be foolish not to have a travel advisory for the United States.

9. When I've traveled to Europe in the past, I've had questions from locals about the danger here.

Many people have expressed fear of visiting because we are perceived as a dangerous country where people are just murdered at random. Fairly accurate.

10. Had a musician friend that went to Germany 30 years ago. "Show us your gun." Seriously.
