MINNESOTA MUST BE TAKEN OVER BY THE FEDS. TOO MUCH CRIME!
Minnesota must be taken over by the Feds. Too much crime!

Holly Jahangiri... I read what you posted. Do you mean the comments? I would suggest that many would agree with me. Did you see *SARCASM* [in my original comment] Because it's a no brainer imho... no guns = no death by guns. "Evil" has little to do with it. I'm tired of thoughts-and-prayers. I'm tired of teeth-gnashers and tear-wringers. No semi-automatic gun = no death by semi-automatic gun. No holier-than-thou virtue-signaling photo-op has resurrected the kids at Sandy Hook.

1. Click-bait headline.
2. Easily misinterpreted because people only read headlines.
3. Those who read further may or may not get the sarcasm. Even when highlighted.
4. Nothing has been done = nothing will be done. Nihilistic? Apathetic?
5. Attacks religious beliefs: thoughts-and prayers, my-gun-my-god.

So have at it!

There will be many more shootings before the issue of glorification of violence and the use of weapons is addressed.

The shooter had personal issues... as many people do. Few handle them in a homicidal/suicidal way. Designating the shooter as "evil" does nothing to address the violence.
