Bill Whittle and Scott Ott put out a great video a couple of weeks ago that I highly recommend on this (which cobra64 explicitly voiced in his post at #6):

How to Stop Mass Shootings Like El Paso and Dayton>

The whole video is great to watch, but if you want the nut of it, go to the second link below which takes you right to the part:

Scott Ott asks the question and Bill Whittle responds at 7 minutes in-direct link

Basically: Stop making celebrities out of them. It is what what the nutbags want. Now, to be clear, it serves the ends of the Leftists in general and the media in particular (they not only get to inflame emotions to get things they want like gun control, it also allows them to exploit the "if it bleeds it leads" thing and make money at the same time.

And this isn't just Bill Whittle saying this, as he explains in the video, this is people whose specialty is studying the mind of the people who do these things. They have been saying for years that even giving their name should be discouraged.

(NOTE: One thing to point out is that Scott Ott is no Leftist, he is set up in this forum they use to be the "Leftist" and it is his task to ask the question the way a Leftist would frame it...and he does such a good job at it that I have to keep reminding myself that is not who he is, he is an excellent conservative, but...he plays the part so well he occasionally irritates me until I remember he is playacting...something to keep in mind...:)

"Scott Ott is no Leftist"

I strongly disagree. Scott Ott is liken to McCain and Romney and has for a long time been a never Trumper.

Please remove me from this ping list.

He is also wrong about the shootings. The correct answer is
Stress-Induced Schizophrenia brought on by the media creates Stochastic Terrorism

Bill Whittle tells it exactly.

As the old saying goes...’There’s no such thing as bad publicity.’

These loner types want their name in history, no matter good or bad.
