Yet another school shooting

It is funny that when there is a school shooting in the States the refrain is much the same.  The Liberals bring up Gun Control and increased mental health services.  The Conservatives offer thoughts and prayers and condemn the left for bringing out that tired trop again.  Which is funny, because thoughts and prayers is the absolute least that one could do for anyone.  I mean, as someone not at all connected to the States in any form, have thought about the victims.  So this means I have done as much as the President of the United States!  Ofcourse, it might be said that the left calling for Gun Control, is like offering their prayers and wishes to the victims as well, because nothing has ever happened because of this call.  There have been bills, attempts at laws, but the best they can manage is to outlaw large magazines.  Because it is every American's right to bear arms, because someone might invade them like in the movie Red Dawn.  But that was fiction.  Some might say that the heavily armed  populous is a deterrent to invasion, but really, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are the biggest detterant the US has, right after the biggest and most well armed military force and a whole wack of nuclear missiles.  So no.  

They need all those guns to protect themselves from all the gunweilding maniacs out there.  Because no one has ever shot and killed a gun man mowing people down until after they stopped shooting.  Most lone gunmen shoot themselves before anyone takes a shot at them.  So, what have American's learned nothing, except to ignore each other when people start shooting people.  

Maybe they should limit the number of people that are allowed to congregate at music concerts and clubs?  How about 50 and 10?  Reduce schools to single classrooms a hundred meters from each other, that way school shooters could not kill lots of children.  I bet that is what they want to do.  Maybe the wealthy send all their children to private schools in countries where there are gun controls, which seems to be almost anywhere else.
