Australia enacted gun control laws in 1996 after 35 people were killed in a shooting. It only took ONE shooting for politicians to protect their citizens and implement gun control. They immediately saw a sharp decline in homicide and suicide rates via guns. This is the first mass shooting Australia has had in decades.
Since 2014 almost SIX THOUSAND people have died from mass shootings in the US. Don’t you dare use this tragedy to try and insinuate gun control does not work. More guns is never the solution.
hot take: we preferred to go out to the theaters until prices got super high. then safety issues popped up, plus a pandemic lockdown kept us away. once we were ready to go back to the movies, prices were so egregious that people couldn't go.
we stayed home, watched streaming and the more we watched, the higher the prices got there, too. now it just feels like we're being punished for trying to find reasonable entertainment while shareholders are scrambling to recover pandemic losses and find easy future profits.
greed is making it all complicated and it doesn't need to be.
