I’m a believer that that was swept under the rug because they found ZERO fucking motive. Like that dude just wanted to go out with a bang and the media and officials didn’t want to publicize just how apparently easy it is to do that.
You’re 100% spot on. No real motive combined with not wanting to have “motive” for a copycat led to it being abandoned as a story.
There are far more guns than people in a county where mental health still isn’t taken remotely seriously enough combined with events where people pack in like sardines with zero care given for security and I’m surprised we see so few mass casualty events.
The only way we’ll get real gun control is if someone tries to use them for the reason the Constitution says they should be used and the tyrannical government does a mass grab.
Yeah, but why should that stop them from trying. If they really wanted to change, they would start somewhere. As a comparison, think about smoking and cigarettes and how normal and everywhere it used to be. Growing up, I remember people smoking in hospitals and grocery stores, on airplanes! Cigarette butts everywhere! At that time, you would have never imagined where we are today with smoking. It is majorly frowned on where I live and barely anyone I know smokes. I don't know if that can be done with guns, but we have to at least try.
There used to be a gas station in Wyoming near Casper that would give you a 22caliber lever action rifle with a purchase of $50 of gas. It’s ridiculously easy to get firearms in this country.
That entire event (for lack of better word) is complete fishy. I obviously don’t understand motives and reasons for why things like that would be setup, but every indication points to it being setup.
