"There's a lot of options."
"There's too many to count."
"There's three ways this can go."
Have you heard people talk like this? I can't stand it! There IS THREE ways this can go. There IS THREE!!! Really? There is three? Let's go back to school. Subject and verb agreement. Have you ever heard of subject verb agreement? Subject verb agreement means that if you have a singular subject, you have a singular verb. If you have a plural subject, you have a plural verb. Is: singular. A lot: plural.
THERE ARE A LOT OF OPTIONS!!!!!!!!!
This is a more serious issue, and I am not an expert on the topic, this is just my opinion.
Guns are not new. School shootings are. That should signify that the problem is not the guns. Something has changed, in recent times, in the heart of America. Which is still, by the way, the best country in the world. From what I understand most school shooters did it for attention, for fame, just to be heard. And if you take away the motive for a crime, the crime will stop being committed. The problem, be it Godlessness, or fatherlessness , or what have you, can be addressed with love. I know that sounds cheesy, 'love is the answer', but it really is. If a person took the time to hear out these people's problems, and really care, maybe they wouldn't feel like they had to take such drastic measures to be heard. These people need friends. It is not the government's job to be a friend. You can fix the problem. I can fix the problem. Don't look to the government to do everything for you. This is a people problem, not a politics problem. That is just how I feel right now; I may be completely wrong.
