This guy took six people who worked for him and shot them, and then himself. The other guy was totally screwed up for many reasons.

This doesn’t change anything. We need more mental health professionals, and far fewer guns available.

The kid who killed those in the bar had been in trouble before, and should’ve been under the red flag laws. But for some reason that didn’t work.

We've got a NATIONWIDE Epidemic, and individual states can't do shit about it.

I guess someone should tell the guns about the state laws.

The gun he got legally wouldn’t have been able to be sold. that might have stopped him.

Maybe easier. Shouldas, couldas, wouldas, are all nice, but bottom line, we need more mental health professionals ( why wasn't he under heavy care, or jail, after attempting bombing his mom, regardless of "red flag" laws) and we need to remove a LOT of guns from the streets.

And we need to enforce the laws we already have. Oh, wait, he was white. My bad.

The majority of VA voters made their decision, so they should expect No Less than the "leadership" which results.
