It's now or never you stupid Americans, wake up!

I have tried to refrain from writing about the senseless killings in the good ole US of A but find it difficult to restrain my fingers from typing. Whilst I cannot but agree with those commentators who say that the horse has bolted and that there is little you can do to prevent the possession of firearms, surely it is time that some action was taken in limiting the use, sale and ownership of them. Whilst a great percentage of Americans believe it is their inalienable right, as enshrined in the bill of rights, to be able to own a gun is it not proof  that inevitably innocent people are going to die!
 I have listened to the debate , a debate which seems to have taken place for many years in the face of these regular tragedies, and it appears that even fairly liberal minded Americans do not support legislation to curb the use of weapons. They trot out the old excuse people kill people not guns. Does it not occur to them if the guns were limited in there supply it would be more difficult for anyone to kill anyone. 
I am well aware that there will always be an availability of guns , whatever laws are brought in, if you really want to get hold of one, you will and that is the same in any country.  Alongside limiting the use of guns a plan of education must be implemented to change the prevailing and deeply rooted culture so as the future generations have a different attitude towards them. 
If Mr Obama, who has no re-election to worry about, does not grasp the nettle and do something about firearms then it will again be be forgotten until the next time some raving nutter does it again...........................................!!!!!!!!!
Whilst I would agree with those commentators
