If they wanted to try to deal with the underlying causes and themes that run between the shooters in these mass settings like in Tucson with Jared Loughner (I live in Arizona), or the Aurora, Colorado shooter, Newton Shooter and even the Texas Clock tower shooter from the 1960s look no further than the mental illness issues that affected all of these individuals.

But the media wont, because dealing with mental illness is not as sexy as flashing GUNS….Mental illness is a much murkier problem with no easy solutions. And, it would probably rehash some of the healthcare issues, again, but when you compare mental illness issues vs gun control the Left in the US and the Media (but I repeat myself) gets all giddy because they think they are superior than the rest of the population and that they know better than anyone else what the cause is and since they have written their story before the shooting and the ink has long dried they wont do anything to change it. So, there will be more mass shootings….more blaming guns, blaming movies, blaming video games….instead of blaming the shooter who actually pulled the trigger and blaming the system in place for not being able to recognize or provide help to those who actually need it.

Mental illness is the problem and the media is the problem. They give huge amounts of publicity to the shooter and give that publicity to someone mentally unbalanced with a desire to have some lasting celebrity even if it is after death, and you have a lethal mix there with the prevalence of copy cats. Just Wednesday morning we had reports of a copy cat gunman in Scottsdale Arizona, less than 4 miles from where I work. This issue is going to get far worse – far worse.
