To be fair, I think Americans have become desensitized to most violence. When I hear about dozens of people being shot or stabbed in a place like Chicago, it has absolutely no effect on me. These things aren't caused by guns, they are caused by a general hatred, envy, and a lack of civility in Americans.
Americans hate each other, so they want to kill each other. No surprise here.
Seems like we're desensitized to the hate. It's like a 'coping mechanism' for a people who are tired of the irrational hate. We're not a healthy people.

Alright, I'm sorry if I've offended you in some way. Personally, I think it's challenging to attempt to make sense of the senseless hate & violence. The senseless hate & violence seem to be a symptom of the illness as well as being an illness of its own. The desensitization part seems to be an inadequate coping mechanism. The desensitization part is also inadequate to providing solutions or trouble shooting problems. Personally, I admit I may be a part of the problem because I'm part of the community of people. I don't think the desensitization is helpful.
What law would you like Congress to pass that you think will prevent something like this, short of banning all guns and confiscating those already in circulation?
There have been several attempts to pass laws to make it a bit more difficult for gun nuts to get their hands on guns. But, that would cut into NRA sales data, soooo.....
Apparently there is a common theme in these shootings. This theater was a gun free zone where one cannot carry their concealed weapon legally.
Exactly.
Making the general population in those zones sitting ducks.
Absurd how no one on the gun "control" side of the issue can see how very plain it is that in all of these cases there is but one person who isn't respecting the law concerning guns, and that is the killer.
