WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans were faced on Friday with another deadly school shooting, this time in Santa Fe, Texas, where at least 10 people are reported dead. As the pace of major school and other mass shootings has picked up in recent years, so too has public support for tougher gun control legislation.
Americans’ support for tougher gun laws hit a 25-year high in March. In the wake of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in a March Gallup poll, 67% of Americans indicated their support for tougher restrictions on guns. This was the highest level of support for more stringent gun laws in the U.S. since 1993. Americans’ support for tougher gun laws has generally trended up since the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, and has now returned to levels last seen prior to 2000.

When are we going to do something about the psychiatric meds that are one of the root causes of these incidents?
First of all with the increasing “wonder” of digital hype, whereby we all have been fooled with promises like “better communication”, easier connecting procedures etc., we not only are just “remote controlled” existances, may be perfectly functioning, but HEARTLESS, but we’ve lost completely any respect for the wonder of LIFE. This leads to an immense inner solitude – to void, hopelessness…Aggression, grief, anger fill up these empty souls. To get a glimpse of attention there’s nothing better than doing something “extra”-ordinary…..and weapons are an excellent device for catching the world’s attention. This happens on low scale as, equally, in highest fields….So, as long as these “incidents”, are no longer “inciding” our lives, because they are becoming “ordinary”, nothing will change. Why don’t we put the focus on our human values? Do I hear words like “respect”, like “sensible”, like “loving care”? All I hear is, “How cool!”…but if we are and stay cool, how could we possibly change? By opening our consciousness, by looking inside our hearts and asking ourselves, wether we WANT to change into a better NOW…..FOR THE SAKE OF OURSELVES, of OUR CHILDREN, of our GRANDCHILDREN!!!
How is it you have become so naive about who’s behind the school gun shootings??? They are false flag operations using psyched out zombies on pharmaceutical drugs. But you don’t dare tell the truth, do you………. just support the official story. How sad…………
