The investigations are not finished and the right wing media is using every opportunity for fear mongering.

  

I think the level trauma I surgeons said it best, "This is central Texas." Exactly.When all the facts are known I am confident they will be known by the public.

If Mr. Inhofe wants to live in the wild west he can, but, for the majority of Americans they rather have some control over guns. There are known mental health issues with this shooter and yet he was able to get a gun a few days before the shooting. Same 'ole, same 'ole.

If the country can't control the distribution of guns in our society then they need to control the guns. If the shooter didn't have his Smith and Wesson no one would be dead today.
