    I think focusing on party affiliation is the losing approach.

    My focus is on the victims, their families, the mental issues of the shooters and the ultra-sensational coverage by the slime media.

    If we can focus on the signals that lead to someone doing this then maybe we can start preventing it. The Parkview shooter is a prime example of headupassitis by the police and horrid policy instituted by Obama.

    This Marine bar shooter had definite mental issues and was known to LEO's; IMNSHO he should not have had access to a gun.

    Someone can correct me but shootings seemed to increase and were more deadly starting with the Columbine school massacre in 1999.

    There were some incidents before but they weren't memorable.

    Here is another SHINING EXAMPLE. The laws were there, the perp was known, nothing was done.

    CBS News reports the Ventura County Sheriff?s Office had numerous encounters with former Marine Ian David Long before he opened fire inside the Borderline Bar & Grill Wednesday night. Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean said they went to Long?s residence in April in response to a disturbance call. The Los Angeles Times reports that who went to Long?s house in April noted he was ?irate and acting irrationally.?

    A ?mental health crisis team was called at that time and concluded that Long did not need to be taken into custody.? The mental health team had the option to issue an order to have Long ?held for up to 72 hours? if they recognized him as a threat to himself or others.

    Breitbart News reported that Long killed 12 innocents Wednesday night, including Sheriff?s Sgt. Ron Helus. He used a legally owned .45 caliber Glock handgun to carry out his attack.

    California has Gun Violence Restraining Orders, which are court orders that empower law enforcement to confiscate firearms from persons deemed a threat to themselves or others. The orders are issued after a family member or co-worker testifies to the danger they believe a person poses to himself or others.

    Such orders were passed by California the legislature in 2014 and in early 2015 UCLA law professor Adam Winkler warned his fellow gun controllers not to get their hopes up, regarding the law?s effectiveness. Winkler told the National Journal that family members do not often recognize, much less report, a family member?s violent tendencies. Therefore, a Gun Violence Restraining Order is rarely triggered.
