Every time there is a mass shooting – or at least one that CNN publicizes – people ask why.  Sometimes they answer racism.  Other times it’s a religious nutcase.  Sometimes the answer is mental illness.  Or the shooter was a social outcast.  Then people suggest various solutions.  End racism!  (Take down the Confederate flag.)  Treat mental illness!  Stop radical Islam!

Please.  Give. me. a. break.

I think this is all BS.  We have shootings here because any old nutcase – garden variety, racist, religious extremist, mentally ill – can easily lay there hands on a gun and, at their convenience, pick a crowded place and start shooting people.  It makes me sick!  How many aggrieved parents, siblings and children do their have to be before we do something about this?  Take away the guns, for the love of God!  Why are there no politicians, Democrat or Republican, who are willing to do anything about this?  Somebody take a stand!  Stake your political career on it!   The innocent people of this country are worth it.
