Come on, you knew it was coming...

3 incidents in a week, Jesus, who needs an enemy?

A guy and his wife, a kid at a high school

'This is the only developed country in the world where this happens'

Osama must be laughing in his salty grave...

Or missiles even!

As for the shootings... it's pretty clear what's happened. We've found a way for people who feel like no one is listening to them to get their voice out to the world. They just have to do a sensational mass shooting and they will gain instant celebrity status with their message reaching out all over the world!

If you feed it, it grows. Plain and simple.

My city has a Subway, (Tube) suicides happen frequently. They never make the news for fear of Copycats.

The US, in their infinite wisdom, has banned nail clippers to make flying safer.

There is the occasional mass shooting in Canada, but it's pretty rare.

Where do Americans Gun Rights end and begin. I know in some states you can open carry automatic rifles, but what about RPGs? Don't Americans want the freedom to own and carry these around too?

This. The moment these guys' started getting their "messages" published to the world via media was the moment anyone with half a brain could have predicted a sudden surge in them happening.

America has had guns for a while, but a high as fuck incidence of mass shootings is a whole new thing brought on by media sensationalism and the need to sell newspapers.

^ Like one every 20-30 years.

Don't let your kids go to school without their own flack jacket!

That reminds me of "the hiding under a desk", drill, in the '60s to be safe from a Nuclear Bomb Blast.

Can a 1/2" of foam stop a bullet?

The outback town we come from has the highest suicide rate in Australia (source: years in the ambulance service) and, same. Media ban, for fear of copycats.
