Shooter was eliminated yesterday and got mad.

There surely has to be more involved than just that, some kind of mental illness maybe?

Normal people don't start shooting others when they get mad.

Aggressive behavior is sadly not declared a mental illness yet. Some cultures even encourage or reward it.

It just gets a bit iffy if the same cultures also believe that the ability to commit mass murder should be a god given right.

They should of had security there. Looks like the guy lost his shit over losing the tournament and grabbed his gun from his vehicle.

Holy shit, what an awful statement to make.

I guess that was an unfair statement. So let me specify that statement applies to just a certain section of that culture, which is apparently vocal enough to let things like these keep happening over and over again.

The sun rises in the morning, the stars show up at night and another mass shooting happens in the US.

I'm sorry. I'm not even surprised or shocked anymore. I'm sorry for the victims and their families. But that's about it. There is a way to stop these kind of things from happening. But for some reason americans don't want that. So I guess they have to live with even more mass shootings in the future. Who am I to judge.

Thank you for saying it 💯

On the one hand, the right to bear arms is so strongly ingrained in American culture that outlawing them entirely would likely be a process that would take decades. There's not really a simple, quick solution to the problem.

But on the other hand, some people seem to have this mentality whereby if there's not a solution that'll eliminate gun crimes 100%, then there's no point doing anything to try and mitigate gun crimes, which just seems bizarre.

I genuinely don’t know which part is worse:
The fact that this happened or the fact that it doesn’t surprise me anymore.

Def. the worst is the fact that this has become the "Norm" in the US.
Every other week it seems, you have people doing mass shootings in the USA.

The US needs to fix their health care system, and get mental ill people in treatment.
The US needs stricter gun laws, and much tougher controll on weapon sales.

Pretty much this. No one is pretending that limiting civilian gun ownership will solve all problems, but what kind of human trashbag do you have to be if you block each and every attempt at trying to make these shootings at least a less likely occurrence?

Could you stop insulting people who disagree with you? Otherwise you're no better or worse off.There's some gun control measures the right is willing to agree on and counter measures to prevent mass shootings/gun murders but the left always jumps to the extreme of ban all guns and dismisses any practical solutions. 

After some of you are done virtue signaling, have some knowledge of guns/gun statistics and your go-to isn't ban guns then perhaps we can have a worthwhile discussion about guns. If not then it's not worth bothering with ya.
