Great. Now We're Averaging Two Mass Shootings a Day.

But that's how they earn a buck. More shootings = more money. Same for Democrats and all these anti-violence fly by night organizations that make up statistics for the news. 8,000 Americans die every day, on average, a few are shot dead but consume 90% of the news and people's imagination. 

You forgot "big pharma"

It goes deeper than guns. And I'm not trying to deflect from the gun argument, but something has broken in our society. I'm totally convinced with *some* if not *most* of these school shootings, if the perpetrators hadn't had guns, they'd have figured out how to make a bomb or poison everyone or something. Guns were just easiest and quickest. It's in part why I think school security shouldn't be brushed off. Even if you get rid of the gun issue, the people who do this are doing it for a reason. They are out to destroy and inflict damage and message their own pain and misery by inflicting it on others. It's also how they see themselves as affecting change and leaving a mark on the world. Schools still need security regardless of what happens with guns, because these broken, bitter people will still be here whether the guns are there or not.

That Audrey Hale person trained at a gun range. She bought weapons specifically for the purpose of slaughtering those people at that school. That was calculated intent. If she hadn't had guns, what would have stopped her from figuring out a way to to lock everyone in and pipe mustard gas through the vent system? Or poison the school lunches? Or put a bomb in the basement? There was no security at that school for anyone to know she was doing it.

It's scary, but this is where I believe we're at. We need to fix what broke these people. BUT, that said, I totally also think red flag laws need to be a thing.

I don't know about slaughterhouse workers; there may be a variety of motivations at work there. But hunters, non-subsistence hunters at least, yeah, there's a problem there, a fascination with killing...
