I live probably less than 30 miles from Winder where this happened, been there many times working here in GA. The more we learn about this tragedy, the more demoralizing it becomes. There are so many things that contributed to this; easy access to weapons of war and their ammo, the 2nd amendment which was never written to include these modern highly efficient weapons, in the day muskets took about a minute to shoot,reload, and shoot again, now 300 rounds per minute is possible, the mental component of dealing with a historically entrenched problem, privacy concerns, political certainty of the correctness of simply arming the entire country, the monetizing of that arming, the gun industry is no longer focused on arming hunters, now they are selling a macho lifestyle to both men and women, with all the slick marketing that we know how to do so well, and a deep seated resistance to change. “Thoughts and prayers” bullshit. I have 4 grandkids from grade school to college, but it’s everybody’s kids I worry about, as Kamala said today “it doesn’t have to be this way”, but it’s going to take the entire nation, to make a meaningful change, the nation is going to have to will it to change, otherwise more of the same.
The sad thing is that even if the nation came together to make a meaningful change it wouldn't matter, just like with Trump, this rogue Ct. is still hovering over it all to backstop it and rule any change "unconstitutional." This abomination lies solely at the feet of John Roberts and the rest of the court members who willfully misread the the 2d A in service of some obscene doctrine. They've created this war zone of a country. The liberal members of the Court need to stop extolling the "collegiality" on the Court and call out the MAGA cabal for what they are, unless the Court comes to its senses this will never end.
Or the SCOTUS gets packed, Congress can do it legislatively and POTUS sign the law - add four new Justices, and start overruling this Court's inane, dangerous mistakes.

Dear Lord please let be so. The people need to rise up and stop this insanity
