7. Well...
...I'm saddened by such deaths, but I'm disgusted by the behavior of those who use such deaths to distract us from the primary issues that lay at the root of the issues. The issue here wasn't the gun, but our poor mental health system. The issue with violent crime isn't the particular implement used, but a variety of socio-economic factors that must be addressed.

You and others like you are standing in the way of addressing these issues, shares. Pure and simple. You waste time and resources fighting an un-winnable fight that wouldn't even address the primary factors even if you COULD win.

And don't worry, shares. I have no delusions of you actually understanding any of this. This is more for the consumption of others that may read in passing.
