The American public is fed up with mass shootings but any attempt to curtail access to guns is laid to rest at the foot of the Second Amendment and expansive rights the Courts have given to this provision. Even if the Courts were more willing to regulate guns in America our politicians are beholden to the gun lobby and thus no new regulations, with even a prayer of survival, are introduced. Tragically, America’s leaders are not serious about stopping gun violence and so the mass shootings will continue unabated.
