That's the exact damn reason why we can't have the necessary discussions to solve this problem. Which is rapidly becoming the biggest problem of this era.

He wasn't a Nazi liberal or some gun wielding NRA conservative thumping his bible either. But the masses keep us going at eachother and divided us so much that we'll continue to drop step in their individual lines and never get to the bottom of this or what's causing this...why are our children committing mass murder at a alarming rate? EVERYBODY IS AT FAULT for this. This isn't a gun issue..it's what we've become as a country.

Y'all have got to block that political crap out and find common ground. It's all hate spewed from both sides while the leaders of both sides are busy high fiving behind the scenes...That's American politics today. Divide, divide, divide. Cash in. We the people have to unplug and wake the hell up.

It all starts with bullying in schools. I remember some kids getting picked on when I was in school, but nothing like what happens today. Nowadays when kids are bullied, it's relentless, and widespread, thanks to social media. A kid with "issues" can only take being picked on for so long, before they "snap." When people turn a blind eye to these kids being relentlessly ridiculed, bad things are gonna happen. That is the root of the problem. All of these shooters have been the "outsiders" of their school.
