Gun violence is now the leading cause of death among children in the United States.

Every developed nation has people with mental illness, video games, disgruntled ex-employees, alienated people, homicidal and suicidal persons, etc. Why does the U.S. have the problem it does?

It’s the same things it always is- the number of firearms, access to them, fetishism surrounding the 2nd Amendment, and the immense political power of the firearms industry.

Not a Republican has the courage to step up.

@TonyStark the dems could have passed gun control legislation, too. they didn't.

My cousin is sheltering in place in Atlanta right now -active shooter. He works in midtown Atlanta and said they locked the building down.

Edit - he is fine. He sheltered in place for the duration.

Not sure what to say at this point. The words that have been said over and over again following a mass shooting have been worn out. There are no new words, at least none that I can think of.

@dancinyogi I hope he's okay

I stopped watching CNN years ago. From what I hear, they've taken a hard right turn. Now they're hosting a town hall and elevating a man who is under several criminal investigations, nearly overthrew the government, and has threatened to do it all again if he gets back into office. CNN is elevating and legitimizing him in the way FOX did by hosting this insane town hall. I hope no one watches, and the ratings are in the toilet, but I'm not naive enough to think that will actually happen.

@dancinyogi the media is all about money. they will do whatever boosts ratings (and the price they get for their commercials and stock). if no one watches, things will begin to change.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If we stand in solidarity, we will win.

@rbreich are you saying there won't be enough to go around when we eat them?
