Thanks for reminding all of us that mass-shootings of innocent children in schools and other places are interval events in the USA. A change will happen, but don't expect it soon; definitely, right after an event. Don't expect such, it would be playing politics and having "knee-jerk reactions", mainly by liberals. Labels are only applicable in defending anti-gun laws and the NRA. Regardless of how many people are killed, what was used; don't blame the Republicans (maybe a few Democrats) and definitely, NOT, the NRA. The NRA= Never Responsible At All! Repeat the empty slogan, "People kill, guns don't."

Schoolhouses and workplaces need to beef up their security with armed guards. Schoolhouses should have armed guard with AR 15 or any type of weaponry the local community deems it necessary. Teachers should carry guns in the classrooms. All parents should be encouraged to purchase guns and be a proud card-carrying, dues-paying member of the NRA. Parents should take the teenager to the gun range and let them practice. Give them a .45 mag, on their 18th birthday (16th in rural areas), along with their newly received driver's licenses.

To the parents and family that lost loved ones: "our prayers are with you", "people kill, guns don't", "Guns don't kill, people do", this is not time to discuss gun laws", "there is a second amendment right for all in the USA, even, the gunman. We will lower the flag over the White House, send in grief counselors, and we will arrange for the NRA greatest pitchman, President Donald J. Trump to visit them and the community. He has vowed to never to disappoint the NRA for whatever it stands for. Mr. Trump will say words from a teleprompter at a slow pace, of his love for all; not mentioning guns or new laws, at all. He may lapse in his favorite phrase, but “…we’re going to build that wall.”

So, grieving families, get over, your grief and prepare for the next mass shooting. It's not the time to discuss the commonsense gun laws, if ever. They won't change anything, anyhow. Oh, yes, the gunman, I know he had mental/social issues, but don't require him to have a background check, mental health check-up, and let him purchase as many guns and bullets he can afford. Whatever you do, don't put his name or his purchase in a database. And, yes, we know the gunman has enough sanity to plan the event, write about it, purchase the guns/bullets, and worked out an escape route (at least this last one).

Oh, one last thing, Law-makers can do something: Make it easier for gun dealers and gun shows to do business. Let them sell guns, across state lines. We know who is to blame if there is an increase in crime. After all, there is the second amendment to uphold. Let's keep this before the people as though we are about to lose this right any minute. This is a part of "Making America Great Again." We are not against gun laws. We will welcome Pistol Packing Preachers and revolver Purse Toting Parishioners in our churches, when it comes up and our next meeting. In fact, a vote will not be needed if any feels unsafe any Sunday. Who are we, to deny a member of the church and an American their second amendment right in the USA, supported by the NRA? It's sad, we can't blame this one, on undocumented people, those who overstayed their visa or people from the country that's on the band; don't worry, we will still build that wall.

Please, no one is to ever think we don't care about people and life. Although, we are more concern about the "unborn" than the born and grown. Especially, since the mass shooting victim numbers are small in comparison to the number of abortions in the USA. We do wonder if the person having an abortion would say, the same thing that we normally say after a shooting incident; Oh, well...! Let's Make America Great, Again."

I hope I reflect your views and suggested a "policy based on facts", as you see them?" SAD! Stay tuned for the real solution to mass shootings. CM

These video clips are a perfect example of emotions overtaking logic. These people are in no position or state of mind to have a national platform right now.

CNN should be ashamed of themselves for this spectacle of using people who are hurting as political pawns. They are puppets in the Anti-Gun Lobby's hands.

They are uneducated on the issues, they are uneducated about guns, they are uneducated about mental health.

This is insanity.
