Is there something common about random mass killers? Something they share?

I guessed it before reading the story, and then yep, there it is, his parents are divorced and the father is out of the home.

No healthy connection with a father. It has destroyed our inner cities, and now it is in the burbs.

But we’ll look past that and blame the guns.

Blame mental illness. Do we want crazy people to own guns?

Bingo. The libs have been attempting to use government-control as a replacement for self-control for 50 years. It fits within their exaltation of the group and the diminution of the individual. We are now seeing the results.

The parents did not divorce until he was 17.

Maybe people will stop bashing men soon. It makes me sick. That masculine figure is so important in a home. Even though my husband died quite young, he had set a good foundation for our children and they have (mostly) married good men or are great husbands.

YES, They all played violent video games. If the government is so set on banning something they should start with violent video games. There is absolutely no redeeming value to these games. They serve to desensitize people to death and killing and to teach them to shoot fast and accurate. The Columbine shooters,the Virginia Tech shooter, the Gifford shooter, the movie theater shooter, the mall shooter and yesterdays school shooter are all described as “gamers”.
