There is a statistic that since the Sandy Hook Massacre in 2012, we've had over 170,000 deaths from firearms. In those 5 years, we've had more deaths than the total amount of U.S. soldiers that died in the entirety of the Vietnam War.
That's an incredibly telling number and we're the only major country in the world where mass shootings happen on a regular basis. Something like this can almost be categorized as an epidemic.
Was this dude's mental illness ever diagnosed? Cause I'm trying to figure out how he got his hands on one by himself it was.
I don't believe he was. From what I've read so far, there is absolutely no motive known at this time.
From his brother's statements and the statements of other affiliates about this man was that he appeared like a normal guy and had a regular life who had no vocal political positions or religious beliefs.
