Not much to add to the title.
17 dead? Ho hum.
Most of them children? Ho hum.
This is how we live now.
The NRA has the Republican party (and a handful of useful idiots from the Democrats, too) in their pockets.
And the NRA exists primarily to sell guns.
Forget that bullshit about safety and training and hunting and Constitutional rights and all the other bullshit that that PIG Wayne LaPierre spews.
The NRA exists to scare people into buying as many guns as they can.
So no, this isn't primarily a "mental health" issue.*
This is a $$$$$ issue. The NRA pays $$$$$ to their bought and sold Congressmen/women to keep the vast majority of Americans unsafe.
Ho hum. 17 dead? Price of freedom, my friend. Price of freedom. Just another day in our "Armed Madhouse."
*If we can get believing in white supremacy, racism, and fervid gun worship officially declared mental illnesses, then and only then, can we call this a mental health issue.

Stop Me If You've Heard This One...
Guy with an automatic weapon and thousands of rounds of ammunition walks into a...
Hotel. Bar. Schoolyard. Shopping mall. Office. Movie theatre. Government building. Church.
Just another bloody, bloody day in America.
And here's the thing: Apparently we will NEVER see the end of this.
It's part of our culture.
Mass murder is part of our culture.
Like apple pie and baseball.
One of our cherished national crooks, Don King, is fond of saying "only in America".
"Mostly in America" is closer to the truth.
When this sort of thing happens elsewhere, as it very rarely does, the people of those countries demand action and their governments respond quickly and decisively.
Not here. No, our government sends out "prayers and condolences". All deeply felt, I'm sure.
But nothing will be done.
Because we care less about public safety and public health than we do about the right to bear just as many guns as you can afford. Like Jesus intended...
Listen: Somewhere, somebody is ranting about their Second Amendment rights being threatened.
Well, Fuck them.
