[BLEEP] looking for solutions, that's too hard. Much easier to place blame.
Another shining example we've become as " world leaders". 
IF this nut does have mental,issues, let's start with keeping weapons out of their hands. Mental issues, such as those who cannot control finances and need govt intervention, for example, have no restrictions on a purchase. Not meaning to make this about gun control, perhaps there's too much water under bridge to do much about it...but on a no fly list? Mental disabilities? Can buy firearms? 
No one deserves this due to differences of opinions. 
Those pointing fingers or making excuses are the [BLEEP] holes who do nothing about it. 
Thankfully this guy was a poor shot.

This isn't about pointing fingers.  It's about taking an honest look at where we are today, and identifying the root of the problem.  The escalating intolerance and the subsequent violence that has followed suit has a point of origin.  As desperately as you and your fellow leftists want to spin it to the right, events indicate otherwise.  This shooting is just the latest.

There are already laws on the books to prevent people from purchasing firearms if they have a history of mental health issues.  This guy had a violent history that SHOULD have prevented him from passing any reasonable background check allowing him to purchase firearms.  The fact that he had a semi-automatic rifle is not because there aren't enough laws on the books.  No fly lists?  You might want to refresh your talking points.

If you look at this guys Facebook wall, he was sending up flags left and right with his escalating rhetoric.  He was definitely feeling the Bern, and not in a good way.

I agree with you that nobody deserves this because of differing opinions.  But, it sure does seem like there's a political viewpoint that claims to be tolerant, yet they are systematically trying to silence any viewpoints that they don't agree with.  If that means they need to do violence to accomplish that feat, they're more than willing to go down that path.
