Shooting at Orlando Nightclub

[Matata]

Each time a large scale gun massacre occurs, hopefully, this is slowly changing the mindsets of people, maybe not everyone but enough that it will eventually force change to occur. And if you can't change the mindsets of anyone who steadfastly refuses to change, like the most vocal leaders of the NRA and their followers then ask what can you do to work with them to make incrementally small steps in a better direction than what you are going in now. The greater good of all is surely far more important than the vested interested of the bloody minded few that for whatever reasons do not want change to occur.

Others have said it and for me it is the same, the pivotal moment came with Sandy Hook and the slaughter of babies who hadn't lived long enough to accumulate anything to hate them for except their innocence. And the person who slaughtered them hated their innocence. The coverage and national angst dribbled to nothing over 2-3 weeks and then as a nation, we were back to complacency. Probably, when we reach a level of global embarrassment about that complacency that can no longer be ignored, we'll, as a nation, begin implementing change. Apparently we're not ready yet to spend the time and money it will take, nor endure some of the personal sacrifices required to make change happen.
