Farmers still have guns and you can still have a gun license for certain things but it’s been 26 years since we’ve had a mass shooting. I don’t get how people can think it’s ok to have so many shootings every year and make no changes to gun laws.

The situation is appalling. I don't get it, either. I strongly suspect corruption, especially having to do with the NRA (National Rifle Association) and their tremendously powerful lobby.
