Thoughts and Prayers "Fail to Stop Death"

Once again, it turns out that "thoughts and prayers" do not stop people from shooting guns at other people.

More than 50 people have died due to a man with a load of guns. All the thoughts and prayers from the previous hundreds of mass shootings failed to stop the man getting a load of guns, or the guns from firing, or the people who were shot being injured and dying.

Thoughts and prayers are very comforting. Yet guns keep killing people. 

Keep it up with the thoughts and prayers, America. 

But for God's sake do something about the Guns.

  1. I really don't think America will ever give up their "right to bear arms". It seems their only answer to increasingly violent attacks on random groups of people by solitary deranged gunmen is to make sure every citizen, sane or insane is armed to the teeth.
    It will never be possible to eliminate completely these murderous attacks, but making owning a gun a crime would go a long way.
    Perhaps our prayers should be aimed at increasing the numbers and powers of those who oppose the gun laws.

  2. "But for God's sake do something about the Guns"

    Once a country has decided it can bear the death of its children, they will not go back.
