If you look at school shootings since Columbine, there is a definite profile for school shooters. They are white, come from the middle to upper middle class and are alienated from society. They also frequently telegraph their intent through social media. They could be recognized and diverted from the schools and be banned from having weapons. In the case of Parkland FL, the shooter had dozens of encounters with law enforcement and school officials and even the FBI.... these were all ignored. Many of these shootings were fully preventable had authorities recognized the obvious signs these individuals were bent on committing mass murder and acted to take them out of society for mandatory mental health commitment. Instead of the ludicrous calls for banning guns, why isn’t there more effort being made to identify these potential shooters and strengthen laws that allow for involuntary mental health commitment?

Profiling? The left’s not going to stand for that!
