I get my post was pretty negative but this #### has been happening since the dawn of man. Maybe not to the scale it does now with the accessibility to automatic weapons but it's always been around.
I also get the argument about the US being the forerunner too, again it's the sheer number of people. Norway had a mass killing - there's only 5 million people there. Genocide and child soldiers in Africa, same #### in the Balkans. We're so ####ed haha.

Right. So let's work on limiting the scale and frequency of this sort of attack, while acknowledging that you can never entirely prevent against it. Let's (as a society) agree that five people killed in a shooting is better than 50. That one mass killing a month is better than one every other day. Let's treat mental health as a priority, let's work to identify and give support to those who are going to be particularly at risk for dangerous behaviour. Work the odds. Make this sort of event a tragic, freak outlier, not something that was just waiting to happen.
