it seems that after they ended psychiatric hospitals these incidents began to occur more frequently. ALSO, it seems that the rise of psych meds like Prozac started roughly around the same time. Could it be that these sorts of shootings mostly occur with shooters who have gone off their meds? Seems likely to me.

It was also the time when divorce and single parent homes went from the black community to mainstream. And a time 'diversity' took over and people felt alienated from their communities... (Read 'Bowling Alone' by Robert D. Putnam. and his subsequent study on the damage caused by diversity...) Lots of hints... but for now?

Harden the schools, bring back institutions and help for families dealing with a child they feel might be violent. I'm guessing the police - and the grandmother - knew this kid had violence issues. And they had no where to turn for help.

Years ago some nut in Tampa started a fire in a grocery store - killed innocent people - and his family came forward saying they had begged for help and no one could help them with this son. This after de-institutionalization... Take the money we waste and throw away on 'nonprofits (slush fund jobs for bored elites) and use that money - same with the billions we're giving Ukraine. Use that money here too.

““We need to vote. We need to hold every member of the Senate accountable. Every one of us should be put on the record,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)”

If they force this vote they will find half their caucus is not with them.

If they had a brain in their head, they would watch it go down in flames in the House first.

It's the transexual flag.

The new LGBTQ+ etc flag also incorporates it.

Aside from going back a thousand year to stop the invention of gun powder, steel, aluminum, machinery, and everything else to make firearms, what would stop these rampages.

The lawfully owned gun in my gun safe. A problem to those in DC.

The problem, as it were, are those in DC.

I’d put those in DC in a gun vault.

So two weeks ago we hated children and wanted them dead because a Mother should have the option to murder them in the womb and today we love little Mexican American children because it benefits us politically with hysterical Karens... Ok I get it.

Police said a woman who was lawfully carrying a pistol shot and killed a man who was firing an AR-15-style gun at a crowd of people Wednesday in Charleston.
