But it's been crazy ever since Aug. 1, 1966 when a shooter climbed to the observation deck of the Texas Tower in Austin and shot dead 16 people, including one unborn child, and injured 31 others. Earlier, he killed two of his close relatives. The world has never been the same since that day.
True, these days it's just clockwork. Insane how it's becoming the norm. Like a weekly mass shooting and the news just puts out the death-count like a scorecard.
In a nation full of easily accessible guns get used to the occasional nut job using a gun to solve his problems .. As for making changes? if Sandy Hook didnt accomplish the need for change then very little change will take place

Not weekly. We have had 250 mass shootings in 216 days this year in the United States.
A couple of other First World countries have had one, most have had none. We are the ones doing it wrong, and we are obviously either too stupid, too unconcerned, or too owned by lobbyists to find out what others are doing and do the same.

It's not much different than addiction, and you're not going to legislate it away.
It's a shame the first ones got so much media coverage so that the notoriety became a desired thing among these whackos.
Unfortunately, there's no way to turn back the clock.

the 1966 Texas tower shooter had a brain tumor and was a massive amphetamine user
