I don’t buy that mass murder is not the “norm”. Since Columbine in general, and particularly since Virginia Tech, I’d swear (TRUE) mass murders have increased in frequency, despite in only 20 years not having as much uptick in population. They’ve really gone up in very recent years, including Uhbama’s admin.

This is nothing to be ashamed of as a conservative - after all, firearm laws are STRICTER yet we have more random violence. Dems don’t want to acknowledge that.

Population has grown by 50 million in those years.

I remember McDonald's massacres and postal worker massacres in the 80’s and 90’s. Lot of workplace massacres. The school shootings started with Columbine and haven't let-up.

I suppose that it’s a matter of philosophy, whether one considers something a “norm” or a phenomenon. Either way, school shooting deaths are a tiny percentage of all causes for children.

Yeah but still.

INHO We are in for the national gun demonization and confiscation move of our lives. And the dual irony is that it will be led by a Republican President, and Republican followers will simply lemmingly get behind it because, well, it is a Republican leading it. Just watch. Betting pool now open. This is how crazy and cultist things are becoming and slouching away from bedrock principles into transactional insanity. With this shooting and maybe just a couple more.
