It really doesn't matter which side he was on. folks, because one thing we know for sure, is that he was mental as anything. And trust me--there's just as many lefty mentally ill as there are righty mentally ill. This is one argument whose point is definitely moot. Which brings us full circle.

The larger, and more important issue is why this mass murder problem is so prevalent in America, like nowhere else. If Second amendment proponents are right (correct), that it has little to nothing to do with firearm availability, then one must concede that there is something in American culture that nurtures conditions for these occurrences (more so than other countries). Your exercise for today, is to think of the ways that American culture is most different from other cultures. In these personal inquiries, hopefully, you'll find some answers. I encourage you to share your thoughts after this exercise with any non-American friends for maximum value. Oftentimes, people on the outside looking in have a different perspective.
