... Dayton mass shooting
Hardly time to get the thoughts and prayers out to the Texas
victimsbefore it is now prayers and thoughts in Ohio.
Lucky these shootings are so rare in the US as someone on this ng told me.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/active-shooter-incident-investigated-dayton-ohio-police/story?id=64763090
At least nine people are dead and more than a dozen wounded after
someone opened fire in downtown Dayton, Ohio, according to police.
The suspected shooter was also shot and killed. Police said they are
only aware of one shooter.
Authorities responded quickly to the shooting, first reported at 1:22
a.m., and said police are regularly present in the crowded district
popular with tourists and locals.

than they were 60 years ago so it stands to reason that if our gun laws were the
reason for these mass shootings, they would have been even more frequent back
then. Obviously there is another explanation. To know what that is we would have
to get inside the heads of these wackos to figure out what triggers this type of
act. That's easier said than done. I suspect that we have always had people with
these types of people but now instead of just killing themselves as they might
have done in another era, they have gotten the idea from others that they can
take lots of people with them.
While these mass shootings were less frequent in bygone years, they were not
unheard of. One of the most infamous was the University of Texas tower sniper
Charles Whitman who killed over a dozen people from the observation deck of the
university tower in Austin, Texas. Back in the 1960s, George Carlin did a joke
that giving somebody a bottle of Scope might be the thing that set off a border
line psychotic who needed just one more thing to go wrong. "What's this? Scope?
SCOPE!!!...….Up on the roof with a magnum. BOOM-BOOM-BOOM. Nine dead and they
blame Marine training".
Of course these mass shooters are not limited to just the US either. They
happen all over the globe. The worst ever was not in the US but in Norway which
has very strict gun laws. The problem in the US is not that we have too many
guns but too many psychos.

One of the news stations commented that now any mentally ill whacko
who wants to become famous knows exactly how to do it due to the
extreme media coverage of such events.
A few minutes later they broadcast the shooter's name and home town.
Where is the logic?
Maybe it's because bloodshed increases vespertine and thus advertising
revenue? Why would they want to help prevent that?

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
