Yep, here we go on gun control.  We won't talk about mental illness, hate, internet websites that allow hate speech, white nationalism and what is behind that, or why our elected officials have failed us in straightening out the immigration laws.  The media will blame Trump, but he is only one man, so we won't talk about this deep hatred and distrust that some of his comments are tapping into.  We won't talk about violent video games and what mental affect they may be having on young people; we won't talk about those who hear hate speech or see threatening posts, but do nothing because they don't either believe it, or they don't want to get involved.  The media surely won't talk about their role in breeding hated and division of our country.  They will talk about the shooter and who he is, and what he said on social media, and the kind of gun he used, etc - perhaps encouraging another would be shooter.  They will rail against the 2nd Amendment, but they won't talk about the responsiblity that goes along with the 1st Amendment.  They will grill hospital official to tell us about the grusome injuries and how many more are more likely to die, and they will be sure to let us know about the bodies laying where they fell.  

I just heard some stupid black woman on CNN raging about "double barrel magazines" and said that you can't be mentally ill and drive 10 hours to kill or that you can't don a bulletproof vest and have an AR and a pistol.  That's the kind of stupidity the news will dwell on.  But the truth?  No, we won't talk about that.  The news media is as responsible as anything else in spreading white nationalism and hated, distrust and racism, but they won't talk about.  And if anyone tries to, they'll be shunned because they don't want to hear about responsibility and the first Amendment.  

Do you think you think it is sane to drive 10 hours to kill people in a Walmart?  Do you think it is sane to done tactical gear and kill people in an entainment area?  But let's not talk about mental illness.  Let's talk about guns.  Funny, the guns in this house have never just started shooting.  

Architect, you should really be ashamed of yourself for this post.
