Election year.
lots of Democrats will run from this
even with the media egging on these killers, mass shootings are extremely rare , less than 100 die in mass shootings per year in the USA( this is in a country of 300 million people where millions die each year).

The mental health professionals have more of a hand in this than the NRA
This is all about Hollyweird parental upbringing malfeasance.

When the perp was knifing people to death, armed citizens could have easily suppressed the attacks.
The gun control freaks can go to Hell.
Maybe we ought to have background criminal checks on all senators and congressmen when they first run for office and also when they seek re-election. Of course we’d have a pretty empty house and senate chambers if we did that.
We’re going to destroy the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights because some moron couldn’t get him any? That’s some dumb **** right there. I’ll never get used to this police state crap.
They should start by banning the weapons first used in this crime and those were not GUNS.
