    Tragic....

    Watch certain groups use this tragedy to bolster their call to curtail the rights of law abiding citizens.

    You can't stop people from going on rampages.

    Well, they banned costumes, flags, helments ... I just wish there was some way of working out what to do about shootings.

    Oh wait.

    Sorry - I stopped feeling bad about these things years ago, I just assume the country is content with these now - otherwise they would stop them.

    The mental state does seem to be a common thread with all the shooters

    Then we should tell people that everytime it happens.

    Eh, you're probably trying to place yourself in their shoes.

    There is one other common thread... but we aren't allowed to mention that elephant.

    Another reason the US needs to enact stricter gun control laws.

    58 year old male, kills two then himself. Would not be surprised to find the dead are his (ex)wife and her boyfriend.

    You can't stop people from murdering others, so yes you should accept that crime will never go away in your lifetime.

    Sure... they all had guns... and in more than 45 years not a single one of my guns has ever gone on a rampage and killed a single person... Why is that? I wonder.

    Then we actually need to say it. Tell people to stop mourning the dead and hoping for a change. We will all die and need to stop crying everytime a bunch of us die.

    Yes - and without that component, a crazy doesn't get to do mass killings. This is the fact of the matter.
