Homegrown terrorists murdering civilians has become so common place that there's even a ritual after mass shootings.
1. The NRA blames everything and everybody but their AR-15s for contributing to this senseless slaughter of innocent people.
2. Republicans "pray" for the victims but refuse to take any legislative actions to curtail this war on Americans by Americans.
3. Democrats get outraged and try to pass bills banning weapons of war but without any support from Republicans they fail nearly every attempt to pass meaningful gun legislation in wake of another massacre.

The sickness of mass shootings that continue to plague American society struck again when a lone shooter went on a killing spree in a small Maine town yesterday.
The suspect is still at large, and authorities have warned the community to shelter in place because he's ex-military and is very familiar with weapons.
Authorities are enlisting the news media in their efforts to find the killer who can be seen in a video pointing his assault style weapon as he walks into a bowling alley. A slaughter happens next and in a nearby restaurant when the killer ruthlessly murders at least 18 people.
The killer has been identified as Robert R. Card II, and Army reservist with 20 years of military experience. His colleagues remember him as a skilled shooter who was among the best shooters in his unit.
Turns out he's a mental case and was taken to Keller Army Community Hospital for "behaving erratically" and making troubling statements about killing people, for several weeks.
As in past mass shootings, mental health problems seem to be at the core of these devasting killings.
Just two days ago all the news media was focused on the Israeli/Hamas war where Americans have been killed and taken hostage.
America and the world watched in horror when Hamas fighters massacred Israeli teenagers at a Peace Festival.
Now Americans at home are trying to cope with another mass shooting. This is the 565th mass shooting just this year.
As it stands, sadly it appears that the war in the Middle East is going to get worse. It's the same fate Americans face with our undeclared war at home.
