If this is true, then I think it's safe to say that these shootings aren't being taken seriously by our government on purpose. I don't know what the purpose is, but it sure feels like it.

The GOP benefits from these attacks in my view, especially when they're in power. It makes it impossible for the news to cover the reprehensible things they do when mass murders happen every week.

If you’re terrified of being shot you won’t mind having armed police everywhere.

The only way to assuage your fear of being shot is to arm more people.
