With the latest has shooting targeting worshippers at a church, it lead me to think about WHERE these shootings have happened. Here are some examples that come to mind (in order of my memory recall):

- A famous historic black church
- A baseball field at a public park
- A night club predominantly frequented by gay attendees
- A country music concert
- A Sikh temple
- A post office
- A downtown area (targeting police officers)
- A college campus
- An elementary school
- A high school
- An army base
- An outdoor barbecue gathering by employees
- A women's health clinic
- And most recently, a baptist church

People of all walks on life, in different parts of the country are the victims of these attacks.

Of the mass shootings mentioned above, I think that a number if then can be classified as terrorist attacks by radical Islamists, white supremacists, and one was particularly anti-police. The Planned Parenthood shooter had an anti-abortion agenda, and I would group him with abortion clinic bombers. The rest seem to have been perpetrated by lone deranged individuals.

On the other hand, there were two vehicular attacks that happened recently, one in New York by an Islamist extremist, and in Charlottesville by a white supremacist.

There are 3 important approaches that are constantly debated:
- Stricter gun control, sometimes rising to the point of making all it certain types of weapons
- Mental health screening and care
- (Last, but not least) Anti-terrorism efforts, both against foreign and domestic threats

My personal opinion is that the debate about what exactly what to do isn't as important as actually trying to do something. For example, I keep hearing (mostly) Republican politicians emphasizing mental health as a problem, but don't seem to support legislation that promotes it.

What do you all think? What is your opinion on what needs to be done? Focus on one thing, tackle all aspects, or nothing needs to be done? I'm open to a variety of opinions.
