Given a week where there have been two equally horrific acts involving guns on US soil, the previous one drawing a staunch lambasting of gun control in the US by Obama:

I genuinely wonder when the US as a whole will wake the fuck up and realise that the solution to gun crime is not as the NRA say "solution to a bad guy having a gun is ensuring that the good guy has one too". I've had a few arguments with yanks before where they hide behind the statistic that other developed countries suffer a higher number of these per head of capita. Whilst it may be true, it's not the point. My fear is that it's too late for the US. Because of their idiotic right to bare arms (probably correct at the time), they continue to allow the big arms dealers rule the world. I'm sure Rocket said something similar in another thread, it's thoroughly depressing.
To those who live in the US, is there a general change in mood? I'm amazed that since the camera man and anchor woman weren't shot that the media hasn't gathered some pace behind it?
Unfortunately, I don't think Obama has the power to act, but you have to wonder how they can continue. Something has to change.
