In my opinion, even though there may have been some red flags in Aaron Alexis' behavior with guns, no psychologist would have been able to predict the shootings that occurred in Washington, D.C.
The frequency of these types of killings goes unabated because of a political logjam in our legislative branch. This branch of the government no longer serves the majority voice in this country; it serves the National Rifle Association and the big corporations.
Let me be fair and point out a party that is controlled by a party in its party; that party is the Republican Party. It is now controlled by the tea party. Many in the tea party are using God, Jesus and the Second Amendment to ensure that this nation does not move forward with sensible gun laws, and basically any reasonable laws.
It is my notion that the House and Senate members don't really identify themselves with the families of the victims because the tragedies are not happening in their own families.
