Had "other" not been included, your point would be valid.
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;38127179]It's just the illusion of all the media attention of recent shootings.[/QUOTE]
yeah this is a dumb line people pull when they don't want to admit shootings are happening in increasing frequency. small shootings in low income neighborhoods, gang related crime, things like that? yeah it happens all the time and can be prone to media over/under reporting. mass shootings like this and the theatre shooting? not a daily event, they actually are happening more often (at least it looks that way)

I believe 'every other mass shooter' was intended to mean 'all of the other mass shooters' as opposed to the alternative usage which means 'every second mass shooter'
Let's get really pedantic here.
Whats weird is that I was about to go to that mall before the shooting started.
Seriously, we need to start mandating training. I mean legitimate classes and psych evaluations. Annually.
I'm going to keep beating this drum till people get it. Giving some random civilian a gun won't do jack shit if they don't comprehend the power it has or don't understand how to properly use one.

I'm not convinced that shooting up a spa has much to do with a lack of understanding of how the gun works or how much power it has

Guy had a restraining order and was ordered to turn in his guns per the order.
He obviously did not do that and instead decided to kill 3 people then himself.
He was not right in the head.

What does that have to do with an understanding of the use and capabilities of weapons though?
