is about to say this man had mental health issues, so that the rest of us will get scared of anyone with poor mental health and buy a gun in preemptive defense so that gun sales increase. Shootings don’t just happen in schools,

(2/4) they happen everywhere in America, and now one has happened in Waffle House. You can donate all the shooting shelters to schools that you want, but at the end of the day, we can’t build our world out of Kevlar - someone is making Mad Money off that.

(4/4) Removing the assault and semi-automatic weapons from our Civilian society, instituting thorough background checks and mandatory waiting periods (and raising the buying age and banning the production of high-capacity magazines) are the ways to stop shootings in America.

Perspective from outside the U.S., at least from Canadians I've talked to. We don't understand why you don't ban all guns except for tightly regulated hunting rifles. It's mind boggling you can't see the problem - it's no laws AND proliferation of guns.

Emma I like you you. I think you are a good person. But near every gun is a semi-automatic. You are calling for a gun ban.
