Shootings happen for a number of reasons this most recent one that the media is up and running with was due partially to MEDIA COVERAGE. Dylann Roof did his shooting as a retaliation for media coverage on Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown and Vester Flanagan aka Bryce Williams did his shooting in retaliation for Roof's shooting while tipping his hat to VaTech shooter Seung Hui Cho....all media related.

But in Chicago and Detroit and New York it's gang related it's socioeconomic issues it's the war on drugs.

Just banning guns is the simplistic answer AND it violates the rights of all law abiding citizens....why does everyone so quickly come to the conclusion that a gun ban would change everything? Guns are banned in Mexico and you see how much more peaceful they have it...granted Fast and Furious gifted the Narcos loads of weapons in order to get the ball rolling on gun bans in the United States but oh well
