As a normal suburb resident- here is what I'm imagining is going through a lot of parent's minds

1) I should have taken my child out of school today and played at the park with them

2) I should have given him a hug before he got on the bus

3) I wish that I didnt get mad at her this morning for...

4) Why didnt I tell him that I loved him when I woke him up this morning

5) Maybe if she forgot her lunch, I could have brought it to her and saved her from...

Thats all I got. I only fully agree with the previous poster that said we need more help for people with mental illnesses - that seems to be the only OTHER common thread with all these shootings.

The chances of someone dying in a mass shooting in the US are still so small that the only lesson we can get from this is: "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may"
