Shell, if we didn't have the amount of firearm violence I'd agree.
I do get what you are saying. But the majority of the time when we go down that road it provides the right the distraction they want.
If we only had the same volume of firearm fatalities as say Australia or Japan, the "why" would be more appropriate as a front burner issue.
We are not at a point in history where the motive matters. Until the flooded market and ease of access is tackled our focus should be on that, not motive.
Brian, it’s human nature to ask yourself, “gee, I wonder why he did it?” I mean, human interest in the psychology of motive lead to profilers being able to identify common attributes in serial killers and child molesters. Just because people wonder why someone did something, doesn’t mean they’re pushing a a political agenda. You have to be able to compartmentalize better.
