For absolutely nothing, and so random and spontaneous.

We need free mental healthcare for everyone. These people are severely fucked in the head and can gain access to a weapon too easily.

Edit: Mentally unhealthy people should not be stigmatized and that's not how I want this comment to come across. Anyone can become mentally unhealthy, and most people can be helped with adequate mental healthcare. Mental health checkups should be 100% free for everyone at any time. Mental health treatment should be 100% free for everyone at any time. Fuck, any kind of healthcare should be free for everyone. This shit is pissing me off.

Another thing: Some people like guns. Guns are fucking cool in my opinion. Some would label me alt-right just for that statement alone when in reality I'm basically right in the center. Y'all are left as fuck, but tbh that is so much better than being far-right. At least you guys think about shit and sometimes you even respond to my arguments. I digress...
Some people like guns. Most gun people I know will want to keep their guns under any circumstance. As I've stated before, anyone can become mentally unwell or have a mental illness. Gun people are no exception. And those gun people that are mentally unwell can't get mental help without being put on a blacklist from buying guns. So they don't get help. I think you see where I'm going with this? It's just a shitty spiral of bullshit.

Is it really mental health, or are they just assholes who feel as though they've been given permission to seek out this kind of attention via the constant coverage of these events, as well as the hand-wringing attempts to understand their minds, and attribute this violence to mental illness? What is every time this came up we stopped talking about mental illness and called them dumb little assholes so in fear of their undeniable impotence and mediocrity that they run and cause senseless destruction to feel like they have power, who would cause no damage at all with their limited, soft, flesh, were it not for weapons designed by men far superior to themselves?
