Coping strategies for dealing with mass shootings.

1 -pretend they are faked

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...iracy-theories

"US gun violence spawns a new epidemic: conspiracy theorists harassing victims.
After mass shootings, survivors and victims’ families face a second round of attacks online – and fighting back is ‘like trying to kill roaches with a fly swatter’"

2 - tinker a bit and make it look like action is being taken

"Spurred by two national tragedies — a shooting in an Aurora movie theater in July 2012 and a Connecticut elementary school in December — legislatures across the country this year passed new gun laws.
Some states, including Colorado and Connecticut, passed stricter laws, while others loosened restrictions, believing more law-abiding citizens carrying guns would mean fewer shootings.
They ran the gamut, from New York’s limit of seven rounds per magazine to Arkansas’ Church Protection Act, giving places of worship the authority to allow guns on their premises, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures."

3 - keep statistics, since the police and government will not/cannot

"Gun Violence Archive (GVA) is a not for profit corporation formed in 2013 to provide free online public access to accurate information about gun-related violence in the United States. GVA will collect and check for accuracy, comprehensive information about gun-related violence in the U.S. and then post and disseminate it online."

4 - hold a candle and make a memorial

"People hold candles during a memorial service for Charleston Hartfield, an off-duty Las Vegas police officer who was killed during the mass shooting, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Oct. 5, 2017."

"People hold candles during a vigil downtown for the victims of a mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, June 13, 2016"

"Mourners pass by a make-shift memorial on the sidewalk of in front of the Emanuel AME Church following a shooting in Charleston, S.C., June 18, 2015"

"A makeshift memorial with crosses for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting massacre stands outside a home in Newtown, Conn., on the one-year anniversary of the shootings, Dec. 14, 2013"

5 - insist that gun rights and the 2nd Amendment is paramount

"The Second Amendment is the most important right, because the Second Amendment keeps the government from being able to impose tyranny. Also the Second Amendment gives people the right to protect themselves, without the government being able to take the right away. Last without the Second Amendment all the others are useless, it is a guarantee to the people that we have the right to bear arms, it keeps the government from taking a way our rights, because we can resist."

6 -study and develop coping strategies

7 - Buy a gun

"Shares of gun manufacturers rose in the premarket Thursday, continuing rallies in the wake of the tragic shooting at a high school in Florida.
Sturm Ruger and Smith & Wesson's parent company, American Outdoor Brands, rose 2.8% and 2.4%, respectively, before the bell."
