I would call him many things...a soldier, brave, selfless, reasonable...but no not a dumbass
Brian Mast served in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. On September 19, 2010, while clearing a path for United States Army Rangers in Kandahar, Mast took a wrong step into an IED along the road. The explosion resulted in the amputation of both his legs and one of his fingers.[9][10]
Because in the vast majority of school shootings you have a troubled kid that does not have easy access to mental health services but that does have easy access to firearms.

Those are all great laws and obviously still not sufficient.
That why the loophole should be closed and I would cap the number of guns that could be purchased in a given time frame.
I'm pretty sure the NRA insured that the loopholes were embedded in the laws in order to maximize total gun sales. Which is their only objective.
As I said, keep trying to make the NRA into boogeymen.
It will not end the way you think it ends.
Sure. The issue is neither firearms nor mental health. Its a broken education system. Male students are dropping out at higher rates, more likely to be suspended or disciplined, less likely to make honor roll or be honors classes, because the system is 100% failing.
These kids are not mentally ill. Theyre bad behavior has been excused as a mental illness and their parents have allowed them to be put on drugs. Have you ever asked yourself why these random mass murders dont happen in low income schools with students who have even LESS access to mental health services?
It eventually worked with tobacco --but I sadly agree about the guns. If more and more dead children don't move people to open their mind and hearts, then no, it won't end well.
Unfortunately, our nation has lost it's innocence, and we can never go backwards, no matter how much we all wish it.
The only real solution is to look at other countries and see what they do that successfully curbs the gun violence. If not, it will be just more carnage.
