    Having other problems doesn’t mean you just ignore a problem.
    And it’s interesting to ponder are the guns a problem or mental health in general, again it doesn’t mean that an improvement (rather than solution) might be to restrict guns.
    And I think it’s bad to consider “solutions” as if these issues can be completely fixed. You want improvements, not perfection. Certainly don’t ignore improvements because they won’t fix it all.

    True. However I think it’s safe to say that most mass shooting incidences happened ‘illegally’. It’s not like we have really really loose laws and allowing these things to happen unchecked. We just have an enforcement problem.

    Passing more laws won’t make them more enforceable. Banning gun at this point is also impossible.

    I’m pretty sure both sides want to see improvements. Nobody is in favor of more mass crazy shooting.

    update, now only 3 dead including gunman...9 injured, so some minor good news.

    Oh there's already people hearing "video game" and blaming it on them, even though it was a FOOTBALL game. Next they'll probably say they didn't virtually kneel for the anthem so they got what they deserved or some B.S.

    also, I'm sick of this right-wing talking point about "it happened in a gun-free zone". No, it happened in a place where they probably have signs saying please don't bring guns in.

    A true gun free zone is where they frisk everyone or put in metal detectors.

    I dunno, I think Madden 2018 would make me want to kill someone too.

    oh crap, can we blame it on EA's seemingly perpetual exclusive NFL license?
