The man who killed 12 people at a night club in California last night has been identified as David Ian Long, a 29-year-old whom a neighbor described as a veteran suffering from PTSD. He used a legally-purchased .45 handgun.

Still Trump's fault.

Looks like the Tree of Liberty got another watering.

Between this mass shooting and the synagogue shooting, there’s been 11 other mass shootings defined as having 4 or more victims.
We have a bit of a mass shooting problem is what I am saying.

We've become desensitized to mass shootings.
The yoga studio shootings in Florida barely made a ripple.

Can you source it? I'd like to see what you're seeing.

One of the more comprehensive lists I have seen:

I too was surprised by how quickly that was glossed over, it has a lot of the more popular elements for being a wide reaching story. I think there was just
so much going on that it kind of was just overlooked.

I was listening to the local sheriff speaking on radio.
Someone asked him, reasonably enough "Why does this kind of shooting happen so often is in the US, but much less in comparable countries?".
The poor man (who has to stand for election, right?) could only mumble something about 'I don't know why, I'd have to check the stats'. Must not, must not, under any circumstances, offend the NRA.

From the ever growing long list of mass shooters in the U.S., how many were NRA members?
