I concur.Freedom and liberty are necessarily unsafe and dangerous.
In this most recent outbreak (that’s what it is) it’s reported that in 26 of the 27 most deadly events the murderer had an absentee father.

Is that correlation? If so, it’s pretty weak, as it’s reported that 15 million American children live with their mother in a single parent family.

That’s 0.000002% of the subject population that’s committed 26 of 27 mass murders using a firearm. ETA: that means with today’s US population, there’s likely six (6) people at any given time that would be tracking to become a mass murderer.
While these events are a BFD, there has to be a balance between liberty and safety, and our constitution favors liberty, as evidenced in Bible Believers v Wayne County (6th US Circuit Court of Appeals):
“We simply cannot accept Defendants’ (Wayne County Sheriffs Office) position that they were compelled to abridge constitutional rights for the sake of public safety"
We will never be able stop these kinds of events and maintain any semblance of freedom or liberty.
