I blame it on the Socialcrats:
BAN THE GUN agenda and their attacks on the Bill Of Rights every time they are in power.

Couple this with their history of Tinkle Poor Economy Mgt. skills and adding $ Trillions to the National debt to Bankrupt the US and move to Socialist Dictatorship.

Now add all those together, plus a 3% to 4% illegal population with different cultural practices, toss in illegal Civil Rights restrictive Pandemic measures and you have a ticked off citizenry.

The question should be: How long before some NUT JOB decides to take it out on DC and not his neighbor?

#5 ...oh, oh, but you can't do that cause its racist don't you know. Ignore the truth and then think you can come up with mitigating programs ain't going to happen.

By the way, did you correlate how the guns were obtained with the shootings? Simple thing like the shooter was not qualified in the first place to be carrying a gun raises the question that if it is already illegal how does any law or program stop them getting one? Ah, too simple.
