People just keep dying from gun violence yet the all powerful gun lobby makes sure that guns are easy to purchase.

At this point I'm afraid that this country is so overly saturated with guns that even IF strong gun laws were passed (such as in Australia, for instance) it would take decades for the death rate to decline.

Greatest country in the world my ass.
