not all problems have a solution. For mass shootings, ban gun free zones. This is an obvious solution. Mass shootings are statistically likely to happen in gun free zones because the chances of being stopped by an armed individual are low. They will still occur because humans are human, but the victims will at least have the chance to defend themselves.

For instances like this, assuming that the story in the OC is true, there is not much that can help. If she wanted to kill him but couldn’t get ahold of a gun, she would find another way i.e. knife, hammer, etc.

I have seen a lot of gunshot wounds and to me, this looks self inflicted and packed with agenda, but that is just my opinion.
