They probably didn't, but how would we know if they did or didn't?

So, either "god" was unwilling to do anything about it, or unable to do anything about it.

On MSNBC said with a heartbroken tone, “what we need to do is learn from this tragedy, about what we can do to make sure this never happens again”.
Shut the fuck up!!!!!!! There are hundreds of mass shootings every damn year, and NOTHING has been taken from any of those about what can be done????? If it were Latinos or blacks the kid shot, he would be going to a Bowl Game with trump, Vance and Gabbert for a show and tell.

.... would be very vocal about guns being the number one killer in domestic violence situations involving pregnant women or guns being the number one cause in children's deaths.

But no,... not one peep from the "good Christians" about rampant gun violence, lax gun laws, and easy access to guns because gun owners are irresponsible about gun storage, gun locks, and gun safety.

Rather than sticking their noses into politics and exploiting hot button social issues. "Good Christians" should publically address these grave social issues of way way too many needless gun deaths in this country. Then planning, collaborating, and working towards resolution of pathetic gun issues that keep popping up again and again - but no one steps forward to curb the issue of horrendous gun deaths.

Jesus Christ,... Thought & Prayers is not the fucking answer to this habitually reoccurring nightmare of a dilemma.

We actually have to do something about this issue of gun violence.

Let's see if "Good Christians" take the lead - now that the issue has struck so close to home.
