The gun grabbers out in full force, as expected, calling for a government based solution, when the evidence indicates the government failed at several levels in this case. Check. The flawed logic of needing more intrusion by penalizing law abiding citizens escapes me.
The media, as usual, provides no depth on the root causes of the problem, but does use the event to promote ratings. They are actually part of the problem, as the shooters are often looking to "be somebody", and get their 15 minutes of fame.
One reporter mentioned many school shootings have the perp going online and "researching" what happened at Columbine. So, gotta believe law enforcement's path to search everyone's browser is on deck. Like the VAST MAJORITY of people who look at the Columbine event on the web are guilty of something, right?
It's pretty clear the kid is unbalanced. He'll be diagnosed with some form of mental illness, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had been treated with SSRIs, and had gone off them - if so, Big Pharma and the AMA will be scurrying to sweep that under the rug. Happens to be another root cause to many mass shootings.
Trump's got the right idea that mental health is an area to explore to prevent these kinds of things, but it's the third rail from a political perspective. The cure could very easily be far, far worse than the symptoms.
In other words, life can be risky. Unless you want draconian measures like you'd find in North Korea, there's a price to pay to live in a semi-free society.
