       | I'm surprized that this specific point isn't made in his
       | manifesto.

       | I mean..often mass shooters' manifestos aren't circulated because
       | that was their goal after all. It feels like it's standard
       | practice to take care with such things?

       | 
       | Perhaps someone will figure that out and publish a journal
       | article called "Decreasing all-cause mortality through hyper-
       | local plumboid injection".

         | how did you come to this conclusion? what if it actually gets
         | _worse_? What if the media attention blows over, the good or
         | neutral actors end up eating the blame, some savvy
         | corporations/politicians with skilled PR end up using the
         | public anger to enrich themselves & make things worse for the
         | public, and people still don't understand why the system isn't
         | working?
         | 
         | I haven't seen any good information on what actually is the
         | root cause and what are the solutions that will fix everything.
         | I don't think this is a matter of greedy people blocking
         | easy/obvious solutions.
