This is the first step: Step 1: Honesty

After several years of denial, recovery can begin when with one simple admission of being powerless over TDS—for TDS sufferers and their friends and family.

What if the best rifle he could by was a rifle like my uncle's old hunting rifle where you pulled back a bolt, stuck a single bullet in, shoved the bolt forward then pulled the trigger......4 or 5 seconds between shots at least......maybe someone could have tackled him after the first or second shot, brained him with a chair or whatever...less carnage.... (my uncle was a good hunter with that - he got his deer every year....)  

I do not wish to get into labelling guns as assault weapons or military style or whatever some folks call them - the debate devolves into a 'tastes great, less filling' labelling argument instead of hitting the main point.  It's high rates of fire and huge clips/magazines holding 20-30 or more rounds that are one of the main  problems no matter what you call the guns...Rifles that can get off a round a second need banning 100%.  Clips holding more than 3 bullets need 100% banning. Or no clips at all for rifles...  Make licensing for firearms at least as difficult and time consuming as licensing for an amateur radio license....make meaningful background checks and long waiting periods part of the process... (the Dayton perp  had a history in high school of making lists of people he wanted to kill and girls he wanted to assault...this should be part of his permanent record - should have been no guns for this guy, there was a police record of these offences....here - https://news.yahoo.com/classmate-says-dayton-shooter-targeted-180053657.html;_ylt=AwrCxnWod0hdY0YA.AIXFwx.;_ylu=X3oDMTByMjB0aG5zBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--   )

But he got a high-rate-of-fire rifle, big clips and ammo because IF he had a background check at all, it was not nearly thorough enough...

Ah yes, removing the nastiness and cleansing the thoughts, one round at a time...

I really think this is an interesting comment:  "Why anyone is still supporting this pathological lying charlatan with decades of well documented fraud and failures can only be attributed to party loyalty."  My short answer is yes.  You are certainly describing me in 2016 and 2020 (if I vote for Trump.)  As a Republican, I would prefer a Republican government.  Not on 100% of the issues of course, but on more than 50% of the issues.  I definitely like conservative judges, conservative tax policy and I distrust big government "plans for that."  You probably know where I stand on almost any issue in view of a decade and a half of banter.

Character does matter to me, but it does not swamp everything else, particularly since I'm pretty jaded about the character of anyone in Washington DC.  Secretary Clinton was certainly not a model of virtue in my opinion, so the character issue washed out to become simply a choice between bad and worse.  Virtually everyone who considers character important lined up on which candidate was bad and who was worse based upon ideology alone.

So, at the end of the day, I think that your phrase, slightly modified, will accurately describe the vote of most Democrats and Republicans:

Why anyone is still supporting this (fill in a long list of personal shortcomings, vices, and felonious behavior) can only be attributed to party loyalty.

Is he perfect? HELL NO......Was he the right man for the job at this particular juncture in history? Absolutely.
