#7 An alternate to each one of those is: "Suspect was known to authorities..." So, you can blame the inanimate object, or the authorities. The shooter had nothing to do with it.
Brad, What you just said is profoundly stupid. If the authorities were to arrest every mentally unstable person with a gun, your kind would scream about the violation of their rights. The fact is access to a firearm is the first step to any mass shooting. Limit that access, limit the shootings, a fact proven all over the World.
Lodi, I believe the point to be made is this, if you are found to have a mental issue you should not be allowed to buy a gun legally. The question then becomes who decides about the deficiency. Most if not all of these perpetrators had online profiles that showed their capacity for violence, some were on medication, others had already had run-ins with the law. The point is who should take the blame, the manufacturers, the sellers (who even when they do the right thing by doing a background check and grace period, are not given adequate information), or the ACLU who protect the right to privacy of the mentally unstable?
#7 aaaand? Guns are other legally or illegally obtained. It's easy to find that phrase. How about the phrase "authorities were aware" of the danger the person presented through threats, actions, history of disturbed acts, and violence... And did nothing. Law says you can't arrest them, but what about HELPING them! Getting financial, social, emotional, or psychological help BEFORE they break out the weapons (if not a gun than it WILL be something else).

Never ever! That sounds too logical so by definition must be some kind of communism and we all know that communism is bad
