‘Another mass shooting in America‘: Oregon killings a grim familiarity for US

The US is reeling from another school shooting, the 45th this year, after a 26-year-old gunman murdered as many as nine people and wounded seven more at a community college in Oregon before he was killed.

Hours after the killings, President Obama clearly agitated at making his 15th statement on shootings since taking office, said: “There’s been another mass shooting in America” and spoke of the country being numbed by the repeated massacres.

To this day, nothing has been done.

What needs to happen to move the “powers that be” into action?

As always, I’m left wondering.
