The victims & their families have been deprived of all 3. Thank you for enabling trigger - happy troglodytes who think with their adrenals, Trump administration & conservatives. You should have a special place in HELL.

100% NA. As Carville would say, "It's the GUNS, Stupid." Even testosterone-sodden Australia fixed this Lethal-Insanity decades ago. The bloody 2nd Amendment is MUSKETS, not huge MAGAzines & Butchery Guns. Until we emmett-till these butchered bodies, it will not change. Blur the faces, but show the butchery so people can quit deranged thoughts&prayers & do Legislation.

I am ashamed to admit it but it didn't even register with me that there had been another mass shooting anywhere. I just turned 76 years of age yesterday. I came of age in the 60s which was a violent era in itself. I just cannot accept this death and hell anymore but what more can I do? Nobody listens when I speak out about these things.

Barbara - People think that ignoring this will make it mysteriously VANISH. Ignorance doesn't equal bliss, it just guarantees more ignorance. But nobody wants to hear THAT.

I work for a nationally known supermarket chain here in Colorado and there hasn't been a day that I haven't expected some idiot or group of idiots to walk through our front door shooting and killing. it happened in Boulder, Aurora, and at a local high school. There are no safe places anymore anywhere. We are killing each other and the damn politicians just blather on and do nothing.

When everybody is armed, will that guarantee more safety or just fatter paychecks for gun manufacturers & distributors ?

I thought that the shootings at Virginia Tech were the beginning of this short of thing. How the Hades did we go from shock & outrage to almost barely thinking about gun violence when it happens, anyway ?

We have an ability to compartmentalize. Part of it keeps us from blowing a circuit in outrage, but the answer IS NOT in accepting it !

Agree. Nuts. And many regard mass shooters as mentally ill when they are just evil progeny of abuse, neglect, and racist indoctrination.

Your assessment is apt but too generous.
