7. Just watched it, very well done.

The shooter, who had obvious mental health issues, was turned down for a gun purchase at Walmart, but of course managed to find someone else to sell it to him.

One of several thoughts I had while watching this was, how much does an incident like this cost over time? It has to be in the tens of millions of dollars. It's time to annualize the cost of gun violence in real terms, and add a tax to not only their purchase but annually as well. Your 'freedom' to own is not free, there's a cost associated with it, and a rather large one at that.
