I've just seen someone comment "Mass shootings are not a problem." You see, because the statistics are low that any given person in this large country would be caught in a mass shooting, it's a total waste of time to take any steps that might prevent yourself from being one of the victims the next time someone decides to take out a movie theater/school/workplace.
"Mass shootings are not a problem." For fuck's sake! How more inhuman can someone get after outright saying "I probably won't get shot, so fuck the people who care, and fuck you to the people who do."

More reason to fight: 500 kids in the US are killed with guns every year, up 60% in the past decade:

So how many classrooms of dead kids would be enough, exactly...?
