As chance has it, you’re responding to the first article I ever wrote on Medium, a year and a half ago, and we as writers obviously can’t fit every subtopic in every article. I’ve written a few which touch on the mass shooter issue.

This one might be worth reading, to start:

I think it probably addresses a lot of the concerns you’re bringing up in this response thread. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on it.
