This is posted due to the shootings in Sydney, Australia which are unusual. Since mass shootings take place in the US all the time, it is not worthwhile even reporting them. The way that the 2nd Amendment has been interpreted by the Supreme Court has made the US a barbaric country and to hell with them all.
Congress took no action even after the killing of children. The US is not a country to admire.
