We have all heard about the tragic recent death of 2 young students at a Minneapolis school. This was the 31st mass shooting in America in the month of August. It was also the 280th mass shooting event in America this year. That is more than 1 mass shooting every day so far this year.
Other countries have had mass shootings and quickly acted to control guns and take other measures to control the shootings. Those actions were successful. Australia was one of those countries.
But the United States does nothing significant. They offer thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims and those have not helped.
Can the richest country in the world not do better? Mass shootings there generate a lot of weeping, but no real action.
Do Americans like it that way?
It is just hard to fathom how many mass shootings happen in the United States and yet they do nothing to stop them.
