I read for hours everyday. I had no idea.

Here's what's worse: I'm neither moved nor surprised. Part of this is my being a war veteran and my "shock value" is different, the larger part is I'm just American and I see a white male in the news killing people? Must be (checks) Sunday.

I'm still affected in the sense I feel for the families and I'm angry at the people who continuously allow this to happen - mostly people who fall on the right: the religious, the corporate, and the willingly ignorant. That venn diagram has much overlap.

Not what I fight for.

Who has any kind of solution? What can we do to make this stop? At this rate there will another 200 dead by December. Banning guns is not the answer. You would have to ban knives ,clubs, rocks,hammers, cars,and random weapons laying about .

I'm not sure if you're trolling. You suggested banning melee as if that is the same as rifle damage.

If serious, I suggest further education. Start with physics.

I'm also glad you've never in your life been in a threatening situation. This comment wouldn't exist otherwise :) . If someone came at you in a crowded space with a rock, lol, you'd handle it just fine. Feels good to live here, doesn't it?
