TBH, after Sandy Hook, when America, as a nation decided that the deaths of 20 children were acceptable as the price of doing business, I lost all sympathy, and frankly, interest.

No politician would get near a position of meaningful power on a gun control and/or universal healthcare ticket, so you have to say, that, as a nation, the US has democratically decided that these mass shootings are acceptable events.

Nothing will change out there, fed up with hearing about it all very sad for the families affected  but it will be something else in the news soon.

Watched Trump on Channel 4 news ::) "it`s not a gun problem, the guy had mental issues".
Channel hopped to World News Today BBC 4, Ex FBI pundit, "it`s not guns that kill ppl, it`s the the person pulling the trigger".
 Now if I were living in Texas, to protect my family; I`d be nipping down to Walmart & panic buying Ammo  ;)

I wonder how long before a group, representing the shot dead, take out a class action. In this case it would appear that iff someone had done their job properly and recorded a black mark against the shoters name he wouldn't have been able to legally buy the guns. Same as the baby killed in the Uk by adopted parent despite having a history.

Your second part illustrates the problem. Bit like countries arming themselves to the teath to "protect themselves" from a similarly armed to the teath country.
