Absolutely true. Nothing will change.
Americans love guns more than children, and are not willing to change.
I use to think of the as my friendly neighbour. That changed years ago.
The solution is to ban bad people from owning guns. We have millions of guns in Canada, but not even can own a gun. A guy threatens his wife, ALL his guns are gone. In the US this doesn't happen and there's no political will from anyone to change it. Republicans think it's a slippery slope to no guns and Democrats think it would be racist because some minorities commit more violent crimes than whites.

This is so dumb I actually believe it.
There's no such thing as gay rights, minority rights, trans rights or women's rights.

There are only individual rights. Either we all have the same rights, or we're just groups of special interests fighting for preferential treatment.

Hey, at least the Canadian Press got the shooter's pronouns right. "They/them". Oh man....
The person who killed three children and three adults at a Christian school in Nashville legally bought seven firearms in recent years and hid the guns from their parents before the attack, police said Tuesday.

The violence Monday at The Covenant School is the latest school shooting to roil the nation. Three 9-year-old students were killed, as well as the head of the grade school, a custodian and a substitute teacher.

The suspect, Audrey Hale, 28, was a former student at the school. Police said the shooter did not target specific victims.

Authorities said Hale was not on their radar before the attack. Police say Hale was under a doctor's care for an undisclosed emotional disorder.

Police have released videos of the shooting, including edited surveillance footage that shows the shooter's car driving up to the school, glass doors being shot out and the shooter ducking through one of them.

Additional video, from Officer Rex Engelbert's bodycam, shows a woman greeting police outside as they arrive at The Covenant School on Monday. “The kids are all locked down, but we have two kids that we don't know where they are,” she tells police.

“OK, yes, ma'am,” Engelbert replies.

The woman then directs officers to Fellowship Hall and says people inside had just heard gunshots. “Upstairs are a bunch of kids,” she says.

Three officers, including Engelbert, search rooms one by one, holding rifles. “Metro Police,” officers yell.

I believe the three children who were murdered were all nine years old.

I have a nine year old grandson and can't think of a more horrifying way for someone so innocent and loveable to die.

"Transgender Nashville shooter had an emotional disorder, police give details on how guns obtained". WELL NO *bleep* They are a walking mental disorder! And admittance is the first step.
