Serbia Responds to Mass Shootings With 'Almost Total Disarmament' Instead of Thoughts and Prayers

Thoughts and prayers aren’t being offered as a solution after two mass shootings in Serbia.

In the latest sign that the U.S. is simply addicted to guns, and our leaders have zero interest in ever doing anything about it, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has responded to the recent mass shootings in his country by announcing a large-scale disarmament effort.

“We will carry out an almost total disarmament of Serbia,” Vucic said during an address on Friday, per a report from the Washington Post. “We must make a decision to confront this evil.”

On Thursday, eight people were killed and at least 13 were wounded in what was described as a drive-by shooting near the Belgrade region. One day earlier, per the Associated Press, a 13-year-old shooter killed eight students and a guard at a school in the same area.

but realistically don't see how a mass confiscation would be logistically feasible here in the US.

It's a worthwhile goal, but it ain't going to happen, at least not in the time I have left on Mother Earth.

This issue will be solved by my grandchildren and great grandchildren and I hope they do the right thing.
