Looking for the right place to post this, I did a forum search on thread with "shooting" in the title. That was pretty depressing...

I have come to the conclusion that as a country, as individual states and at the local level, we have decided that these mass shootings are not a problem. I could be swayed by arguments that some believe that the shootings are a problem but that any attempts to solve the problem are going to be more damaging to our lives that the shootings themselves.
