The black market in military weapons is thriving because of corruption and power.

Now let's hear the same ol', same ol'.......again and again and again.
* Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
* We have to do more for those who are mentally ill.
* We are all hurting and we send our thoughts and prayers.
* Now we need to open up a dialogue.
* We'll do all we can to prevent this from happening again.
* We need to monitor those who seem to have emotional problems.
Many U.S. politicians seem to be in hiding today. I hope they feel ashamed of themselves for continuing to be gutless fence-sitters!

I don't know if the internet, social media, lack of human interactions, lack of [fill in blank], lousy parenting, lousy education, stupid gun laws, or just humans in general are at the crux of these mass insane-style shootings ... but I will not consider this shyte the 'norm' ... like ever.
It's one thing to 'have' to protect yourself from say an intruder or attacker with a gun but this twisted 'style' of mass murder is an example of the banality of evil that lies within our human condition..... I don't 'get it' ....

Oh, God! I’m becoming callous, I only thought another one? It’s all the reports since then that are hammering in the vile sickness of it all. Ya know? All these guns were bought legally. This Florida shooter had his guns a year before he started shooting classmates. The Las Vegas shooter exhibited none of the nut signs everyone seems to think are so apparent. I know better then to shoot anyone but I was raised in fear of my mother. I care unless it’s just another shooting..... and that’s the way it is.....

bulletman, most of us Americans feel the same way you do ........when are our politicians going to do something to prevent the sale of AR 15s and other automatic military style weapons over the internet, or wherever the h- - - he bought these guns and ammo. And where were his parents when all this was going on ? I understand he got expelled from school more than once.

And, there have not been 8 school shootings in the USA since January 1, unless you count a pellet gun shot, or a misfired gun.
I'm not saying mass murder isn't a concern. I'm saying the root of the problem is not the gun. Great diversionary tactics, but it doesnt cure the problem.
This shooter had given all manner of warning via social media, and there was nothing legally that law enforcement could do prior to him actually shooting people.
A friend observed that - since it's the vehicle, not the drunk driver, that kills people - perhaps we need to outlaw vehicles.

To the kids demanding new gun laws,
YOU ARE AS LETHAL AS THE SHOOTER WHEN YOU TEXT WHILE DRIVING!
Did the LAW stop you?
What about in Chicago people being shot and killed everyday from gun violence.
Guns dont kill people , people kill people.
I have no problem at all with vigorous background checks on firearms, while we are at it do the same for immigration and voter id.
