The fact so much more time is being spent talking about a press conference about the Georgia shooting, than about the fact the shooter was able to buy and use the gun on the same day, goes a long way to describing what is wrong with this country today.

Hardly a week goes by in this country when a boyfriend or husband does not take out a woman with a firearm. Never thought I'd see the day when men parade their militia style loaded weaponry in public to protest bar curfews or mask wearing. This is insane.
