This one hits hard. Never thought about it that way.

They’re not perfect. But when they had a mass shooting they were rational about it. Passed laws banning assault weapons and had a gun buy back. Their nation looked into its heart and said “never again”. And it hasn’t happened again.

I live in Texas and we had Uvalde and the response here is the elimination of red flag laws. So, of course, it will happen again.
