Not to mention the fact that long sentences -- or even the death penalty -- would make much difference for the mass shooters. Such things are deterrents to the rational mind and let's face it, nutsos that are randomly killing people aren't rational to begin with. And a good number of these shooters then kill themselves when the cops close in; it's part of their end game.
