mass shootings (defined as four or more wounded or dead, including the shooter), 231 dead (including shooters), and 772 wounded (including shooters).

We are definitely number one.

1. We got to do something about guns

And the sociopath people in this country.

There are so many sociopaths that it's getting dangerous because of them and the damn guns.

2. Sadly, you are absolutely correct.

3. Unfortunately, being diagnosed

as a "sociopath," depending on the severity of the symptoms (unlike being diagnosed as a psychopath), will not normally trigger red flag laws, nor be a reason to deny the purchase of a deadly weapon.

There’s no clinical difference between a sociopath and a psychopath. These terms are both used to refer to people with ASPD. They’re often used interchangeably.

Some have attempted to distinguish the two by the severity of their symptoms. A sociopath may be someone who only makes minor transgressions that don’t cause serious harm or distress. But a psychopath may be described as someone who’s physically violent or put others in danger. However, when one considers the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, all of these symptoms can be found in the ASPD category.

Many alcoholics tend to be sociopaths as well, but they also slip through the red flag laws and background checks. It is not enough to focus gun violence efforts on mental health issues alone, and keeping guns out of the hands of anti-social persons is a must.

4. You Do Realize That NOTHING, And I Mean NOTHING, Will Be Done About Guns

Seriously. NOTHING!

21 Children got slaughtered while attending school.

61 Concert Goers got massacred while enjoying a festival.

Nothing happened after them, and nothing will happen after the one today. Or the one tomorrow. Or the one next week.

This IS Who We Are as a nation. We couldn't care less about life. Except for those hypocrites who care about the life of the unborn. But once you're out, your death is meaningless. Whether by Gunshot or by Covid. You're just a statistic.

I really despise this country. I really do.

5. I dispise how things are in this world

Get born kill life to survive and die anyway.

The human /animal condition is sickening to the heart. I hate nature for being the way it is and I hate sociopathy. This is an existence situation and most people just deal. It's tragic and stupid. Yes we evolve but into what?

There is so much pain death and suffering on this planet.

Along with beautiful sunsets,rainbows coffee and Cats and love.
Among other things

It's a mess.
