80 years on this planet....lived through a lot....never experienced such venom, to the point where I, a news junkie, hides from the latest but you cannot escape it.

I fought for this country and what it stood for and I want that feeling again.

And while I understand your outrage at the shooter, and understand, even you are asking the right question about where this comes from....THAT, to me is the MAJOR contributor

I assume your comment on happenings and the news has to do with what is going on today, but how does that explain the Columbine school shooting in 1999 and all the shootings that have happened between then and now?
