    No jokes from me. Prayers to the victims and their families.

    The proliferation of mass shootings in the US (normalcy of it) may be the worst stain on my generation, beyond even 9/11. How we let this happen is shameful.

    It’s just so depressing. Why are we the only country where this constantly happens?

    Gun availability tops the list by a wide margin. Glorification of violence - in every medium - is an issue. So is copycatting.

    Hopelessness, fear, isolation, distrust...all those function as an undercurrent. There’s a malevolence at play in America. One reason guns are so sacrosanct to some Americans is because many believe themselves alone.
