*** This post was published on June 2, 2021. It reads well today, if “San Jose” is simply replaced with “Texas” (Texas shooting: How a sunny Uvalde school day ended in bloodshed).
Another mass shooting (San Jose shooting leaves 9 dead). Again the flag is half-staff at the White House (‘Enough’: Biden urges Congress to pass gun control bills after lowering flag for latest mass shooting). Still another ‘all-talk without action’ by American politicians … Gov. Newsom asks, ‘What the hell is wrong with us?’ following San Jose shooting.
It’s guns, stupid!
1. How bad is mass shooting in America today?
The image below highlights the U.S. mass shooting epidemic in the first five months of 2021.
For more, read: Wikipedia – List of mass shootings in the United States in 2021.
2. Everything is relative
The image below is worth more than 1,000 words, with the U.S. leading the world of the developed countries.
3. Any real solution to mass shootings in America?
No!
The image below highlights the reality.
4. Discussion
If a primary duty of a government is to protect the lives of its citizens, America has failed, miserably. Two main reasons:
- The Second Amendment is totally out of date, if not a mistake from the start.
- America is practically governance-less. It may take another civil war for America to seriously address the gun ownership issue.
More profoundly, it is time to truly understand America, from the American Revolution on!
Meanwhile, many Americans will die of gun violence, unfortunately …
America, reform our failing political system, as I have suggested (History 2.0 – China’s Comeback vs. America’s Decline), or become a fiddle, second to China!
5. Closing
America, it’s time to learn from Australia on gun control!
I beg to differ with , “ITS GUNS STUPID”! I’m eighty+ and my father & his father are deceased, but what we had in common about School is Respect. Respect in our Nation for one another in our Community , through our laws & religious beliefs were grip holds in life to help one another. We as a Nation started to see a change in our Countries Society when alter cultures started immigrating into the USA , after World War 2. Many area’s of our Nation had Enemy prisons. (Mainly German & Italians) These individuals migrated into US society after 1946. But they weren’t burden delivers to our Nation. That began in the 1990’s when the US started letting Foreign Nationalities into our Country on work Visas. Many didn’t respect our laws and some wanted complete change made to many of our Nations laws. These individuals became the sick minded that changed the way I and others lived in our Nation. Many were of Cultures and religions that many don’t except in the USA now. Change came from them and City Riots, shootings and murder in our Streets & Schools. Our Nation has had long rifles, shotguns, pistols , knives and other weapons for centuries without having murder in our Schools, Churches and other areas of Society. IT’S NOT GUNS, but the sick minded Immigrants that are in our Nations Society today. Our Nations populate has lost Respect for Religion and their neighbors. Our Government must also be held accountable for most of our problems of today. Remove our guns and you will have another Ukraine war in the USA, where another Nation will come to our shores to take over a Country that can’t fight them off, as we’d have NO guns. That’s what Communists hope will happen.

Guns are not the only issue of School shootings. Broken families are not the only issue of school shooting either (Arkansas has the highest rate of divorce in 2018 but no mass school shootings) .
Family education is the main source of teaching their children at home. Our school system has failed to educate our children what is right and wrong.
