Another day, another mass shooting

This time at a high school in Oregon. Two dead (including the shooter), and a teacher wounded.

Guns are a sickness that is slowly killing this country and are probably (behind smoking) the No. 2 preventable cause of death in the U.S. Gun deaths in this country are on the verge of surpassing traffic fatalities and may well do so this year. Wrap your head around that one.

Fact: If teens didn't have easy access to guns, they wouldn't have them. I don't pretend to know what the answer is, but just making guns more and more easily accessible, the current NRA and GOP prescription, sure isn't working.

  • @marc--what's even more of a bummer is the post you put up was only for school shootings in the last 14 months, it did not reflect the shootings that took place in the movie theater in Colorado, the army base in Texas, or all the other shootings in the last 14 months. It's mind numbing that people think this is acceptable.

  • I love when some writes "It could have been worse". Tell that to the victims parents.

  • Had dinner with a friend who does business in Shanghai often and he loves it there. He says you feel so completely safe. No guns anywhere. When he lands in LA he says that peaceful feeling is gone. thats sad.
    And he grew up in Texas too
