Imagine if there were similar requirements to get a little firearm. I know, crazy talk. It should be as easy as getting milk and eggs. Certainly not as difficult as buying cigarettes.

Great post.
Want to reduce mass killings?
Have our schools do a better job of identifying the small number of children who are lonely, isolated, or bullied. Get these kids some love and some help. I am convinced that in many cases, being alone/bullied in school, is the breeding ground for the mass shooters.
Let's encourage a return to traditional family values, encourage more families to have a parent at home to keep an eye on things. Instead of running around 24 hours a day for kids activities, take time to have supper together and talk to your kids, and listen. Turn the devices off.
Curb the violence we bombard our kids with on TV and in video games
get to church once in awhile, and listen to what's being said.
Encourage more families to have 2 parents.
Be more proactive about locking up the violent mentally ill.
Have a rational conversation about bump stocks and high capacity magazines.
If we do all these things, mass killings will decrease. If we don't do these things, they won't decrease.
