Yet another mass shooting

You know, I was right that there was going to be another mass shooting in the States. I just didn't expect it to take place less than two weeks after the first one.

Five people dead, including the shooter's wife and multiple injured. The only consolation is that there are no children killed despite the shooting taking place near an elementary school but that's small consolation compared to the fact that five innocent people were killed in the shooting. And while some people might say, a good guy with a gun could have stopped him, wouldn't it have been easier if the bad guy had no guns to begin with in the first place?

So yeah. Just wait for another mass shooting to take place I guess because they're still going to argue about gun control, whether it's a mental health issue or not and then not doing anything about either issues because Americans just don't want people to stop dying.

PS Donald Trump tweeted out to the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas about their own mass shooting despite the fact that this new one takes place in Rancho Tehama, California. While sadly pathetic and amusing, I think it's safe to say that Trump has no idea which mass shooting just took place because there's too many of them to keep track of and you really need to do something about that. His tiny brain cannot handle the number of mass shootings that take place in America.

PPS After I wrote this, it came to light that the shooter built his own illegal guns and this of course means that gun nuts are going, "If more people have more guns, they could have stopped this guy." Consider this though: One of the victims who was shot by this guy could not shoot him because she was protecting her child from being shot. She did pull out a gun but the asshole drove away before she could shoot at him.

Two, more guns do not mean that mass shootings are going to stop. It just means that there are more guns circulating around and that makes it easier for people to get their hands on guns. If anything, it will mean more mass shootings simply because there are more guns on the road.
