Two mass killings within 24 hours. Rather than take any action, President Trump opts to let a god solve the problem.

"Yesterday, a Tweet I posted in reaction to the horrific mass shootings in America over the previous 48 hours, killing 34 people, spawned mixed and highly critical responses.
If you missed it, I offered a short list of largely preventable causes of death, along with their average two-day death toll in the United States. They significantly exceeded the death toll from the two days of mass shootings, including the number of people (40) who on average die from handgun homicides every two days.
I then noted that we tend to react emotionally to spectacular incidences of death, with the implication that more common causes of death trigger milder responses within us.
My intent was to offer objectively true information that might help shape conversations and reactions to preventable ways we die. Where I miscalculated was that I genuinely believed the Tweet would be helpful to anyone trying to save lives in America. What I learned from the range of reactions is that for many people, some information –-my Tweet in particular -- can be true but unhelpful, especially at a time when many people are either still in shock, or trying to heal – or both.
So if you are one of those people, I apologize for not knowing in advance what effect my Tweet could have on you. I am therefore thankful for the candor and depth of critical reactions shared in my Twitter feed. As an educator, I personally value knowing with precision and accuracy what reaction anything that I say (or write) will instill in my audience, and I got this one wrong.
Respectfully Submitted

Why/How the F is this a thing you can buy? They don't even have this in the military.
I'd love to see one gun owner justify the need for this.
If it's to avoid reloading when shooting targets, LEARN HOW TO RELOAD FASTER.
If it's because they're afraid of an army of people invading their home to kill them, HIRE A SECURITY TEAM.I cannot comprehend that something like this exists and is LEGAL.

By controlling the access to guns you may be able to lower or slow down these horrible events, but when are you going to admit it's an "American" thing, this problem?
It's not video games or how easy it is to acquire a weapon.

This is Parker Mustian, 16 yrs old from Columbia South Carolina. He is the grandson of Richard Quinn, a prominent South Carolina political strategist and the son of prominent attorney Ben Mustian.
and obviously a future mass shooter.
