It is the 2nd Amendment nutcases and those who use them to gain power who killed the people in that church yesterday, who murdered the children at Sandy Hook, who murdered the people at the music festival in Las Vegas and all of the rest of the tens of thousands murdered every year for the last half century after the University of Texas tower shootings.
There is a cold civil war that has been going on in this country ever since the end of the hot one, the body count from it dwarfs the one in the 1860s. Yet we don't scrap the causes of it because those are embedded in our awful 18th century Constitution and in our collective mythology about that. The United States has been rendered non compos mentis by its legal establishment and its media, both entertainment and alleged news. I have come to doubt anything will change until the guns are turned on them and the billionaire oligarchs. I've had more than a half century to watch things not changing except for the worst to lead me to that conclusion.
