    Sweet graph. What is the scale? No labeled axis makes it impossible to tell how they are misrepresenting their numbers.

    They maybe, but judging by the FB traffic changes I have seen, I don't doubt it.


    And damn you all are making sense lately, I agree with BPTactical

    Complex problems have numerous causes and no single solution would fix such problems even if I believed a solution exists.

    Violence and murder have existed as long as people have walked the Earth.

    While I would like people to seek help for their mental health issues, in the Land of the Free, it seems to be illegal to compel all those who are mentally ill to accept treatment. Talk to a few homeless people and see how long it takes you to talk them into accepting mental health treatment. In fact, the murderer's mother was in the process of committing her son to a treatment facility. His reaction was not totally foreign to many of us who have dealt with Emotionally Disturbed Persons.

    Be safe.

    What you knew that a deranged killer was going to mow down over 20 kids? Well I have to say common sense and statistics say that when mental healthcare is next to impossible to get unless you are a criminal, stupid shit is going to happen. So yea.... sadly it was only a matter of time because some people did not want to address the root problem.

    The search engine results are there, its not Obama leading this. Its the public after a string of whackos doing insane stuff that has them scared. We need to fix our mental health system.... decades ago.

    And I agree with Cstone

    I've discovered the root cause of all these tragedies: it isn't guns, it isn't lack of mental healthcare, it's people!

    If we could just have an open and honest debate and compromise and end political posturing and reach across the aisle and be bipartisan and ban people we could end these senseless killings!

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    The root cause of all these tragedies is freedom, plain and simple.

    Freedom that is evaporating before our eyes.
    Freedom that the blood and honor of countless Americans has paid for.

    I for one remember that price they have paid. And I hold that price in great reverance.

    Or the lack thereof. If we were truly free, tragedies like this would still happen, but at least the victims involved would have a fighting chance.
