OK, what follows is my little sermon to the choir:What they need to find out is, what meds was the shooter taking? Who was the therapist who counseled the shooter? Who was the psychiatrist who prescribed drugs for them? These answers might be "interesting". These incidents tend to happen too often and too conveniently to the favor of those receiving unfavorable news. Commonly called "false flag" events. I'm not saying nobody was harmed/killed. They definitely were. And it's definitely tragic. But when the news media is already ignoring the Sussmann case daily, and these things happen, the news media has a field day hammering it into our senses day upon day upon day. It's also about trying to take away our Second Amendment right to bear arms.
Yeah, the shooter was blameless. It was definitely the guns that did it.

Let's assume for a minute that all guns of all types could be made unavailable to everyone and every single solitary pistol or rifle was confiscated. In other words, no one...criminals or law-abiding citizens...could use one to commit a crime or defend themselves legally. Yes, that's a big assumption but hear me out.
Let's also assume that someone is bound and determined, come Hell or high water, that they are going to even a score or pay back someone that has wronged them, real or imagined, makes no difference. It can be an individual, a group, a team, a race or ethnic group. Again, it doesn't matter. In this person's mind, any and all are responsible for his situation, his unhappiness, his shame or his depression and they all deserve to incur his wrath. Someone will have to die to achieve that goal and it matters not how many pay this ultimate price. Okay, so he has no firearm of any type:
- How many could he have killed with a machete or knife?
- We don't know.
- How many could he have killed with a pipe bomb, dynamite or a plastic explosives?
- We don't know.
- How many could he have killed at an organized outside event, like a parade, a graduation or on an athletic field with a vehicle?
- We don't know.
- How many could he have killed with the mass introduction of poison or gas in the cafeteria?
- We don't know.....and I hope we never find out to ALL of the above possible scenarios.
OF COURSE NOT! A MENTALLY UNSTABLE PERSON THAT DECIDES TO KILL WILL FIND THE MEANS AND THE METHODS TO DO SO !!!!
