I was especially struck by this part:
However, when mass shooting after mass shooting happens consistently in America, next to nothing is ever done about it. There’s never any significant change in the law. We generally get to watch politicians and pundits quibble about the efficacy of gun laws and whether they infringe on the Second Amendment, and then once the new story of a new shooting gets old enough to fall out of the current news cycle, we pretty much go back to business as usual, which is to say, we just wait for the next shooting to happen, and rinse and repeat.
