4. FWIW, Mexico has very strict gun laws and only 1 legal gun store in the country

It's a prime example of how gun laws, no matter how strict, can't make you safer.

Agree of the shooters search for some kind of "fame" and public recognition. For them infamy is better than being a nobody.

I wish the media would have a policy of mentioning their name once as part of the initial report, then never referring to them by name again. Instead we get weeks of analysis of them from childhood and onscreen psycho analysis. IMHO, it encourages copy cats by losers looking for one, brief moment of "glory".

But that's just me.
