We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

Re: Prayer
It's just like a Facebook post.
Empty platitudes, said because people feel like they have to talk.
And the fact that the shootings happen anyway indicate there is zero divine involvment.

If all you are prepared to do is pray, don't pray for the victims.
Instead, pray that God will forgive us for failing to protect his children.
And pray:
• that the secondary victims, especially the first responders, would be healed of the mental wounds and PTSD inflicted;
• that the perpetrator(s), if living, would be brought to repentence and experience God's forgiveness.
