To those saying "he's right"...
He's complacent. He's a useless troll. He thinks nothing should change because he's effectively saying "it is what it is", which is the same bullshit response I see from every single conservative who continues to simply say "thoughts and prayers" after an event like this. There are many ways to try to help prevent such a tragedy, and blanket statement of it being a "fact of life" does literally nothing.
And every day, it keeps happening. And every day, the media keeps shining a spotlight on it. And every day, nothing gets done.
@ulkesh I would just add that he is supporting the NRA (their lobbying might be one reason for this 'opinion'), but I fully agree with what you've said.
