Can't believe they haven't caught him, maybe squeezed into a hole and killed himself?

Serious question do you think that someone's mental illness is restricted to what the country's culture is? I don't think the US is too incompetent to move away from it but we may be too warlike (warlike being too independently minded).Sure you did, you just used roundabout language to express it. You thought that having someone else with a gun there would likely have prevented it or cut it short; ergo, you believe the solution is to arm more people.
Instead of treating people as "sitting ducks" because they don't have guns, how about we create a culture where having a gun isn't seen as important? Plenty of other countries have managed that. Are you saying the US is too warlike and incompetent to move away from a gun-obsessed culture?

Mental illness isn't usually defined by a country's culture; coping with that illness by resorting to gun violence, however, is.

Did he find some clothes? Naked man running around is not very "incognito".
Yes they have him now.Reports are cops have shooter in custody.
How dare mentally stable, law abiding citizens want their rights.Just another "new normal" day where the NRA and the usual assortment of paranoid gun freaks would like us to believe that random multiple killings of the innocent by AR type rifles are no big deal, nothing to get upset about (due to how frequent these killings are) and absolutely not the time for talking about more stringent gun control laws (that might affect the sales of firearms in a negative way.)

propose any gun law you like, even pass it. just apply the same law to the rights listed in the constitution.
It's going to start with. "Get rid of military grade weapons"...

Good point, just not the appropriate one for a response. Having a right and defending it also includes having the willingness to become a participating member of the solution and not part of the problems that owning guns without having sensible laws that prevent so many of these frequent tragedies from happening. So are you a part of the solution or a part of the problem? Or do you even care?
Also a good point. Let's start with how those reactionary right wing Supreme Court justices interpreted the 2A in favor of the gun manufacturers and to the detriment and sorrow of all of those numerous loved ones that have been murdered in part from that decision. Would you be in favor of whatever a liberal Supreme Court majority may reverse that the right wing majority decided upon was in their narrow minded corrupted view the "correct" interpretation? Or would you be as complacent as you seem to be (correct me if I'm wrong pls) while witnessing time after time how AR type rifles are murdering hundreds of our fellow citizens?
I have accepted the fact that what the Supreme Court did at the time was based upon a very narrowly contested decision that in turn was based upon purely ideological grounds and not the literal letter of the Constitution. Were it decided with a liberal majority in place we'd have a whole 'nother world of firearms regulations that IMO would have saved hundreds if not thousands of lives that have already been sacrificed in the name of folks having the desire to possess maximum firepower without restrictions and I would have been fine with that too because I feel that whatever resulted from that "liberal" decision, I still would have my rifle, my shotgun and my revolver for personal use. But would you?
Because mass shootings usually always involve a rifle vs knife, etc.why? those numbers are included

Not an official source, but 2017 isn't looking good.and how will that affect the total numbers?

But the rabid raccoons in the woods.... They'll never voluntarily give up their metallic security blankets.Ah yes, the classic SlowSpyder defense: when in doubt, pretend gun violence isn't actually that much of a problem by pointing to statistics for other deaths.
