[@The Harbinger of Ferocity] I don't wish to turn a sh*tpost/joke into a serious question. But was this really just FBI incompetence? Was the FBI too focused on other matters and cleaning up its own scandals to actually be effective? 

At this point, I'm not even sure if it is an individual problem. We clearly don't punish people enough, even if violent/gun crime is still decreasing. Since so many shooters have serious mental health issues. I'm starting to worry about this being a drug related problem. We already know, more guns doesn't equal more violent crime. And maybe not all mass shooters had severe mental illness...but there must be something else to it.

Also, I think armed security at schools would at least cut down on number of casualties, because guns according to the FBI save more lives than they take. Up to 3 million lives. But I'm not sure if that will automatically deter psycho's either. Otherwise, suicide by cop wouldn't exist. So maybe if someone wants to have a real debate on real solutions, we can talk about those. (Or we can, since I know we can talk about this sensibly.) 

But, instead we have liars pushing AR = assault rifle, there was 18 shootings (when there wasn't), people lying about not wanting to take guns away and now we have the NYtimes and everyone else mentioning repealing the 2nd amendment and talking about AUS. Because otherwise we can't have an honest discussion, do you want control to ban scary looking armitage rifle's. We have 5 million to 10 million currently private hands, what do we do about those? Something the unhonest, cannot and will not answer. I digress.
