Another mass shooting in the United States...

I am here watching the news this morning and it is all reports on the mass shooting in Orlando FL. 50 people reported gunned and 53 injured down in a gay nightclub. They are calling it an act of terror and a hate crime. This is the deadliest mass shooting in US history. Of course they are now showing the same footage over and over again and it is getting really repetitive. But this is just horrible - I cannot fathom how this can keep happening in the United States. I don't care about the second amendment - we need gun control. This shooter used an assault weapon. Why should he have been able to get an assault weapon? He should not have. Those weapons should be strictly controlled.

Gah. Gah I say! The US is totally messed up on this and it is our fascination with guns that is the problem. A sensible country would implement stricter controls on these weapons.

It is going to keep happening if we don't do something.

It's so horrible... I've been following the news all day (they of course talked about it here in Italy, too,) and I swear I had a knot in my stomach the whole time. So with you about the need for gun control over there...

What an awful day :(
