Normalization

Another mass shooting. We are not only desensitized to violence we are now desensitized to talking about it. What can you say that hasn’t been said before, all with little or no effect? New polls will be taken showing that a large portion of the American public is in favor of reasonable gun laws. Democrats in the House will pass a bill responding to their concerns, but Republicans in the Senate will kill it without debate or a vote. People will complain. Pundits will argue. Michael Moore will make a documentary. And life will go on business as usual until the next mass shooting. Then the entire frustrating cycle will repeat itself again.
