Mass shooting du jour

This country can ban firearms, cars, knives, alcohol etc. Uh, the 21st Amendment didn't work too well. Why aren't we focusing on the root cause of the problem, people. Especially people who are afflicted with mental illness. Back in the day it was mostly Postal Workers that went postal. Now its just any disillusioned stooge that wants to kill large amounts of people. Why? Some of these mass killers have been captured alive. Why not conduct extensive psychological tests? Including brain tissue examination. I'm a believer of the Samer Theory. There might be a definitive cause making people go fúcking nuts. Whether it's road rage, political agendas or mass killings; we as Americans are losing our collective minds.
Now that the emotions have calmed a bit from the El Paso and Dayton shootings (or Houston and MI according to Uncle Joe
), let's consider some boring but significant facts relating to mass shootings and gun-related deaths. These are from 2017 - the latest available that have been compiled by the CDC (bold emphasis mine)
In spite of what liberal politicians and the mainstream media would have you believe, the likelihood of being involved in a mass shooting is about the same as being struck by lightning and far less than being involved in an auto accident. It's hard to put a number on mass shooting deaths due to the ambiguous definition of "mass shooting". Do the gun deaths from gang violence in cities like Chicago and Baltimore count in the media stats? Probably not. The figure put on mass shooting deaths in 2017 seems to fall between 450-500. However, the number that jumped out at me was suicide by gun, which would have been 23,864. So considering the homicidal maniacs carrying out mass shootings (including themselves in many cases), gang violence deaths and the number of people willing to cash in their chips, do we have mental health and cultural issues that need to be addressed? The problems we face won't be solved by banning guns; there's always knives, poison, clubs and pressure cookers.

The madness continues.....
At least 5 dead in West Texas shooting after traffic stop

Since the guns are already out there, all the political stuff is window dressing. Trump has it right, any new gun laws presented wouldn't have stopped any of these recent shootings.
Is the status quo acceptable?

Ah, gotcha.
Excellent idea because we all know it's the honest citizens who follow the law and abide by idiotic requests like this who are the problem. [/sarcasm]
