Same Sh*t, Different Day – Another Mass Shooting And Still No Lawmaker Action (VIDEO)

It has been zero days since America’s last mass shooting, and still, nothing has changed about our inadequate gun laws. Officials know little about the motives behind the shooting at this time, but one thing is certain – America has an obvious gun problem.

The fatal shooting took place overnight at Club Blue in Fort Myers, Fla. Reports say two people are confirmed dead and 18 others have been hospitalized. Flyers reveal the club was hosting a “Glow Party and Birthday Bash” that did not require ID. Unfortunately, this meant children were caught in the crossfire. The youngest of the victims is just 12 years old.

Club Blue released the following statement on their Facebook page early this morning. It has since been deleted completely.

“We are deeply sorry for all involved. We tried to give the teens WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A SAFE PLACE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. Ages 12-17. There was armed security as well as full security,inside and out. As the club was closing and parents were picking their children up…..that’s when all this took place. There was nothing more we could of done as you see it was not kids at the party that did this despicable act. Our condolences to all parties involved. PRAY FOR OUR CITY!”

“More Guns” Is Not The Answer

Florida has experienced 66 mass shootings since 2013. Those numbers become more overwhelming when you account for the rest of the country. Many republicans are quick to say, “If only the victims were carrying guns to protect themselves.” That would not have helped these children – they are not old enough to carry.

Putting firearms into the hands of club-goers is a recipe for disaster all on its own. In a place where inebriation is often a factor, one’s judgment can become dangerously impaired. Clubs are also dark places, making it incredibly difficult to aim for a shooter in a crowd full of innocents.

Whether a shooting is a product of, terrorism, gang violence, or a domestic dispute, the root cause always remains the same. Guns are too easy to obtain here in American and pose a constant threat.

Americas must hold our lawmakers accountable and continue to push for common sense gun control. Until stricter gun laws are implemented, innocent people will continue to lose their lives at an alarming rate.
