****'s getting crazier and crazier. I hate it for the families of the dead and injured and for the family of the shooter.
that being said, the *****iest thing about these mall/school shooter types is they off themselves afterwards thus escaping from judgement and retribution.

Asheville is a small city so our crap isn't as big as larger metro areas but we've had a large rise in gang/drug related crime resulting and a dozen or so shootings this year with 8 deaths because of them.
The last, this past Monday, was a mile from my house, on the road I drive on every day. An 18 year old shot a 14 year old and killed him. The 18 year old was arrested on separate charges of maintaining a residence for the sale and use of drugs and was then connected to the shooting and charged.
I started gun shopping today. Probably just a Mossberg for the house for now but will soon get my concealed carry and start carrying a pistol again.

"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
It's simpler than you think.
I could be completely wrong"
