As already mentioned in my post, probability is slim. However comparing the odds to "air conditioners falling on people's head" is a bit much.
Happy to be proven wrong with some facts on a/c units falling and killing people? The US has published their numbers of how often gun violence and murders happen in their country.
Fact is that even if the odds are slim of getting injured by gun violence in the US, it's still 1 too many knowing that all this could've been prevented as it's a human being choosing to pull a trigger.
These days I walk with my eyes on top of my head.. can't help it, with the giant screen mishap, construction cranes toppling and ppl jumping off buildings.. so yest I saw whole bunch of ppl infront of building entrance, I was 😱😱
Turns out they filming some cab scene 😅
I support gun laws too but the mass shooting angle is v much an emotional one, hard to get gun restrictions/ban with it - taking away a common right when the % vs total gun deaths is small, doesn't actually address the real problem of why a person wld do this or really solve the accessibility point if we arguing for restrictions like registration.. If I had some uncontrollable rage at my teachers and classmates and made up my mind to kill them all, I'll find a way to get me an assault rifle no matter what..
So I'm jaded and expect snail progress on this based on with natural passing of time. Alternatively.. ;p
You make it sound like people who use guns to attack others all have some form of schizophrenia. That is not the case. Some people are simply bad people. I wouldn't blanket say they are all "not well in the head". That is like saying people who don't agree with your points are by default mentally well.
Go check CNN, another shooting in Florida today. Perhaps another "schizophrenia" person? Is that now the default excuse so they get less jail time?
Btw, there are many schizophrenia people in the world, and yet, how come we don't here as many mass shootings in other parts of the world. Go down to the Kowloon side in the poorer areas, you'll find plenty of mentally ill people there on the streets. You don't see them waving a gun in your face.
The MSU shooting

Sometimes you just know things are probably going to head nowhere repeat and rinse like before. He may not have gone to MSU but the fact he's doing this at a school campus says a lot already.Despite the latest clues, the motive for the mass shooting remains a mystery
I think mass shootings like these are basically the same as your typical suicide attempts but a terrible one where you insist on bringing others along with you. The shooter usually isn't expecting to escape or even go to jail (if they do then of course they will try for insanity plea). It will always end with a shootout where they get shot to death or they will shoot themselves when cornered by police.

Most recent US school shooting with bonus extra fun twist. 28 year old former student, now transgender, shoots and kills 6 at private Christian elementary school. Shot dead by police, left huge manifesto, this will be endless rounds of analysis.
