Mass shootings, while always shocking, are not even a surprise anymore. Given gratuitous violence in TV and movies, violence in video games, obscenely lax gun safety laws and a culture of things over people, they are an inevitable result of a society that needs to reclaim it soul

One soul at a time.

"Given gratuitous violence in TV and movies, violence in video games..." You're actually blaming artists for mentally ill people committing violence? Or do artists just cause the mental illness that manifests in violence?
Replying to @marwilliamson
You'll want to try selling that line in Chicago and Detroit, where there are remarkable strict gun laws. I'd agree with reclamation of soul, but I'd put reclaiming unity of people (remember e pluribus unum?), or how about reverence to higher authority?
Replying to @marwilliamson
But if we're blaming artists for societal violence, what role do you believe authors play?
Replying to @marwilliamson
So glad to see pundits start to include tv, movies and video games as contributing factors in these horrific events. Blame should not fall entirely on "gun control". I believe we have grown a generation of young people who have lost the meaning of sanctity of life.

No they are absolutely not a surprise. Neither is the majority’s depraved indifference to anything that doesn’t directly benefit a wallet.
