No I want leadership since I recognize that method, purpose and context are important.
Gandhi was a leader, Donald Trump is a salesman, one served a purpose greater than himself, the other just serves himself.
Gandhi was Hindu, and was assassinated by a Hindu, because they thought he wasn't doing what was best for Hindus.
Context is important ...

1. Ban semi-automatic weapons and 30 round gun clips. Worth debating about.Here are my suggestions.
Uh-huh the act of one psychopath doesn't really invalidate the fact that he represents an example of a leader and fortunately his assassination occurred after he had led them to the primary objective.
Jailing people for life who exercise their Constitutional right ? Think about how that sounds.Here is what we do...Guns kill tens of thousands of people every year,,,so we ban semi-auto's with fines of 5 years in prison the first time and life the second. Time to treat these people the same way as we do with drug dealers.
One would assume that the answer to that question is self evident for the case in point however, from time to time assumption is undone by overestimation.Uh-huh the act of one psychopath doesn't really invalidate the fact that he represents an example of a leader and fortunately his assassination occurred after he had led them to the primary objective.
Would you like to take moment to further expound on how the act of a psychopath shouldn't have an impact on context ...

??? Are you griping because the number is at least 19 rather than 18? Did you not notice that there were 17 school kids shot in FL the other day. A few weeks earlier two more kids were shot dead and 17 were wounded in a KY school.There hasn't been 18 school shootings this year
What was accidental about the FL shooting that just happened? That was 17 shootings.No I'm not griping I pointing out a factual error. Why are you and others counting accidental discharges of firearms and suicides in that claim ?
YES 18 mass killings in 2018 and the ah republicans are worried about a wall The Aussies had mass killings before 2000 They banned automatic, semi automatic and shotguns and haven't had ONE mass killing sinceOK--so this year we have 18 school shootings, and it's not even March yet. Yesterday in Florida 15 young people with their entire lives in front of them, along with 2 school teachers trying to protect them were massacred. Then we have Las Vegas. Then a church in Texas were generations of family members were wiped out. We have a movie theatre in Aurora Colorado, then San Diego were a straw buyer purchased semi-automatics for a slaugther there, and Orlando, Florida another one. And Sandy Hook where 5 to 7 year olds were slaughtered.
People have called for better gun regulations in this country and it has continually fallen on deaf ears. Republicans are owned by the NRA and right wing gun extremists.
Here are my suggestions.
1. Ban semi-automatic weapons and 30 round gun clips.
2. People with existing semi-automatics & ammo be required to keep them in a locked secure gun case, and required to maintain an insurance liability policy on that weapon in order to keep them.
3. Parents of children & teenagers are required to keep all of their guns & ammo in locked secure gun safes, inaccessible at all times to their kids.
4. No private sales. If someone wants to sell their gun, it has to be dropped off at a licensed gun dealer for resale so a background check can be done.
5. Background checks including extended mental health checks before any purchase of a gun is made.
6. Straw buyers of guns, those who buy guns for others, be under the same prosecutable standards as those that pull the trigger.
7. Those that are on a no fly list, or FBI terrorist watch list not be able to purchase any guns or ammo.
If these simple regulations were in place--there would have never been a Las Vegas, a Sandy Hook, a Columbine massacre, a church in Texas, San Diego slaughter, Orlando, Florida massacre, a Virginia Tech etc. etc. etc., and 15 young kids and 2 teachers that were killed yesterday would be here today.
You won't convince Republicans to do any of this. They are OWNED by the NRA, and right wing gun extremists, and will fight (tooth & nail) on any new gun regulations. They are more interested in the donations they get from the NRA than keeping the public and our schools safe.
If you're tired of all the condolences & sympathies, then do something about it. Vote for Democrats in the midterm election cycle this coming November for common sense gun regulations.
So nothing about the root cause?
Like single mothers, violence on television, movies, video games, in music.....

There are no single mothers in the other nations? No video games, no loud music, violence on TV? What is the big difference is that there is easy access to guns, guns that are designed only for killing people. Look at how many of the mass killings are done with those weapons. Time for action, the hell with prayers and sympathy.

Crime has increased in European nation's also with single parent households...
It's not brain surgery to figure out a single parent can't be every where .
It is sure easier to do something about the root cause of violence in the media ( it was done with cigarettes) then it is to try to get rid of 600 million guns from guys and gals in no mood to give them up.

Other countries have those things and don’t have regular school shootings...

Countries with strong gun control don’t have a mass shooting problem.
