Post-apocalyptic shows tend to swing between these 2 ends of the spectrum. On Walking Dead, there'll be idyllic communities which are more like hippie communes but then they'll be overrun by Mad Max types who rape and pillage.

Do you think the Interweb might have "borrowed" this concept from H.G. Wells, it seems to be a bit Eloi versus Morlocks?

While my heart goes out to the parents who've lost children and the family of the teacher who was killed, I couldn't care less about expressing solidarity with Americans. This is an endless cycle: school and mass shootings followed by thoughts and prayers and nothing else. They should treat these murder victims as martyrs to the cause of arming everyone to the teeth. And their deaths will be a boon for gun manufacturers. Whenever there's any call for restrictions on gun ownership, sales go through the roof as "concerned citizens" make sure they get their hands on them before any laws come in. Not that they should be afraid: no laws will be passed and SCOTUS will strike down those that do. After a short while, the NRA will use the shootings as a call to arms: arm teachers with guns and the only way to deal with a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.

How much longer can a nation burry their heads in the sand and not address gun reform once and for all.

Indefinitely, unfortunately.

I heard a snippet on the radio before.

I believe it was Biden who was talking about tighter gun control needs to come in after the recent events.

Obama said similar and was quickly put back in his box by the NRA, lets see if the same happens to Biden.

Just like clockwork: Top Texas Republicans Call For More Guns, Fortified Schools, Armed Teachers After Attack, Huffpost.

I think every student and every teacher should be required to carry guns. Even a 4 year old should carry one. And just for good measure, we should ensure a cop with an anger management problem and several guns is assigned to every school .

Decent bloke is Steve Kerr and a very good coach but unfortunately I don't see those 50 senators doing anything.

I'm not a religious person.
I don't regard myself as a vindictive person.

But there's a part of me that kind of hopes there is a form of 'Afterlife' where people are held accountable for the evil that they do.

I'm generally not vindictive either however what will take to change things in that god for saken country. It seems to be that innocent children and parents suffer the most with this gun violence stuff. Abhorent to even say but I wonder if a handful of the senators were to lose children in a massacre, would that force them into action?
Simple background checks would have potentially stopped this latest one, a simple bill these mongrels won't pass and have been sitting on for 2 years. This piece of garbage simply walked into a store on his birthday and purchased 2 assault rifles and is now firmly cast in their retched history.
ENOUGH!
