Enough.

Two more mass shootings in which a maladjusted young man takes up his gun and goes on a rampage because he’s angry about something. Just another day in America. Just another round of media outcry, political farce and societal theater. 

I’m going to say what basically every other country is thinking right now: America, we have forfeited the right to mourn mass shootings. 

Why? Because when it comes down to it, we simply refuse to change. These senseless tragedies keep happening and we keep feeling acute pain and sorrow - for about two minutes - and then we shrug our shoulders and move on. So as long as our people and our politicians insist on keeping gun ownership legal, I don’t want to hear about it. 

Are we going to actually decide that it’s worth sacrificing what is now practically equal to a human right to bear arms for the good of our nation, or are we going to continue being a people who values its privileges above its principles? And I’m especially talking to you, American Christian who claims to love Jesus yet insists on conflating the Bill of Rights and the Bible. Get your head out of your ass and start actually bringing heaven to earth as we were put here to do. What does that mandate mean to you?

In the words of my uncle during one of his eloquent rants: “Innovate, or shut up.” 

I'm done.
