See now you're getting it. One of the 1st things I saw on Twitter this AM was some moron suggesting exactly that scenario as how the shooter could've been stopped quicker.

There is no way to know how many mass murders occur in "lawless" countries. Those countries won't spend the time or money to research or catalog their findings to report to other nations.

Nor how many massacres are "legal", such as Kim Jong-Un executing political prisoners with AA machine guns until there's hardly anything left of them.

The US having a third of all reported mass murders is absolutely staggering.

I don't think it is though. Having done a lot of travel, I've still never come across a country who gets boners for guns like we do. And a lot of morons think the right to a gun is still the most important thing, way more than the right to healthcare or any other human need.

Yeah but more guns makes us safer. C'mon, get with the program.

Well it makes some people "feel" safer I suppose but that won't stop people who "want to see the world burn" whether that's due to religion, mental illness, being a nutcase white supremacist or any other ****ed up reason a person would inflict mass casualties.

I'm fine with the 2nd amendment if that means licensed rifles or shotguns for hunting or a handgun but anything beyond that is not required for either hunting or home safety/Charles Bronsonville and should be left where they belong, the military.

Of course people will find a way around assault weapons bans so...I have no answers I guess

Exactly...it won't be good enough to have metal detectors solely at airports and government buildings, we now need them at schools, malls, hotels, concert venues of all sizes and any building overlooking any place where two or more people gather.

I'm sick beyond belief

A lot of it has to do with how we gained our independence and 400 years of history here. It didn't come easy to say the least.

There is an answer, and it comes when you take your focus away from the gun. Or the bullets. Or any implement for that matter.

We are in a very fragile state, as evidenced not only by the attacks of all sorts (whether gunfire, arson, wayward vehicles, etc.), but also by the environment even on the political threads here. When both sides choose to set their differences aside and promote peace in respecting our differences will there be an answer.

Plenty of reports out there on the shooter and so far no one has any idea why this guy went crazy.

That in itself is scary as hell. How can a person go from being normal, with no warning signs, to doing this kind of thing?

Have you ever thought that maybe they don't want you to understand the psychology, and would rather that you focus on the implement? After all, has FNN yet admitted the Scalise attack was politically motivated? Or are they still focused on Russia?

Yeah the only thing I can think so far is some of the stories mentions he's a somewhat serious gambler, maybe something went wrong for him there? But that's a complete guess. Nothing really of note thus far.
