      In his Twitter profile, Connor Betts, the 24-year-old suspected gunman in the Dayton mass shooting, described himself as, "he/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist / i'm going to hell and i'm not coming back."http://bit.ly/2KpcrCL

      Why is it that you give no details about how you verified that this is actually the Twitter account of the shooter?

          We verified it through information on the Twitter account that matches details we know about him.

          OK, it would be really helpful if you could clarify these things in the actual article given the proliferation of fake information.

          That was several hours before the Dayton shooting.

          This is a good point, but my first thought was why we are once again giving these people the spotlight. It seems the only reason is to act superior to other people who identify with similar groups and hint that these groups are responsible.

          In this case, I think the point is to show how biased media coverage is. When a shooter is a right-winger, every article mentions such. When the person is not, political leanings do not make the MSM stories. We need to quit politicizing the shooters and focus on stopping them.

          Trying to pin down the antecedent causes or events that prompted either of the two shooters is pointless speculation. There are too many possibilities. The only logical policy choice that can prevent mass shootings is to place and enforce limits on the possession of firearms.
