Our country is drowing in a sea of immorality.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A COUNTRY WITH MANY, MANY WEAPONS HELD BY THE CITIZENRY. MASS SHOOTINGS THEMSELVES ARE A RELATIVELY NEW PHENOMENON.

The USA is being drowned by ADHD-controlling, benzodiazapene, psychotropical and other mind altering anti depressents or mood changing drugs for a great many of sick people, making them even more sick and rotting out the core of their minds. This is what has increased in the last 40 years. A combination of prescription drugs gone wild turning people into zombies, combined with lack of moral upbringing and ethical center. Its not the weapons, but the human beings behind them granted by God with Free Will who chose to sin, who use them and are pulling the triggers.

How about changing society as an approach? Ohhhh that would be too difficult for statist liberals to do, besides, they want the guns anyways. Out of our hands. And into theirs, hopefully mostly at the federal level.

There’s a non-criminal type of liberal?

Who knew?

More like drowning in a sea of criminals who laugh at the judicial system.

This might have some weight… if the judicial system were itself not criminal.
The judiciary routinely ignores constitutional restraints, at all levels (just look at the recent NM Supreme Court decision finding against a photographer who refused services to a homosexual couple getting married, in spite of the State's Constitution explicitly protecting religious opinion from impacting civil and political rights) — this trend goes back about a hundred years (or perhaps more); see the following USSC decisions: Wickard, and Schenick.
