What we need is to have more people with guns, get as many guns out there as possible, and these things would stop.

No, "things" will not stop if we saturate the populace with guns.

We need to stop that all day media zoo that highlights everything about the pathetic life of the criminal that commits these horrible acts. The reason the rest of these folks are acting out is that they see the attention that this person is getting and they want the same attention.

Stop treating the criminal like a star and there will be less people trying to copy their actions.

Correct. Expect a massive saturation across the networks of these type incidents. The media is out to plant the seed with their new narrative in order to help the president achieve his goal of enacting harsh strict gun control on sovereign citizens.

Well things like this have happened before and yes, there does seem to be a bit of "copycat" or maybe a bit of "more headlines". I don't know for sure.

Yeah there will always be crazy people who are too weak to deal with their own issues and have to take it out on other people...Here goes a kid in Tennessee where I live now who made a facebook threat. They arrested him over the rant he left on facebook...This is why we need schools to have designated shooters in case another crazy person wants to hit a soft target such as a school or mall ect....Columbia teen accused of threatening shooting rampage - WSMV Channel 4
