American people want guns, it's part of their constitution that they have the right to carry them. This isn't the UK, so we have no concept of why they want/need them.

No president has been able to do anything about the gun problem because while people are outraged by mass killings, they still demand the right to have them. Given that, and the fact that it would probably take 5+ generations to remove guns from circulation, the obvious thing to do is act on any red flags that appear that give warning to these potential events happening. There is plenty evidence that these nutters give notice that they are going to do something, that is what needs to be acted on .... and that is what Trump is doing ... or attempting to do

The internet, social media and video games are all available globally.

How come mass shootings are not happening on the same scale globally?

It's obvious that gun availability is the issue

I don't think "godlessness" is a problem per say, and there's been no studies either way to show gay couples are ineffective as parents - two parents are better than one.

Also, Trump can do all the talking he wants about doing something about mental health issues, but his actions don’t match seeing as his administration and the republicans are planning even more cuts to mental health services, so he might say the right things occasionally, but he never does the right thing in practice, he’s a scam artist, always has been, always will be
