CNN had to make sure it was a White Male before blasting the story 24-7. Until then, they stuck with the "Constitutional Crisis" with the Mueller investigation.

Military members do not carry firearms on a daily basis unless it is specifically required by their job description. Please don't perpetuate this misconception.

An ex Martine with PTSD. Was he getting mental help? Or was he left alone with no help after serving our country? How was he legally able to get a gun with PTSD? There are many issues with this that need to be addressed.

People that don't obey gun laws don't get to keep them. So often is a complete lie.

29... male... falls right into the demographic. The average age of a mass shooter is 34, and the majority are male. Interesting.
