Sometimes, but not when it comes to young men killing each other everyday across the country. That’s a home grown problem, and it doesn’t matter if takes place in the backwoods of Louisiana or in Baltimore. Events like today make the news but the others, not so much. Guns aren’t going anywhere but I’d bet if the family unit could magically go back to a time before LBJ slithered his way into power the country would be better off.

Something tells me you weren't going down this line of questioning after that transgender individual shot the children.
One mans mental illness is another man's religion, and there are already ways to take guns away from the mentally ill.

Excluding gang violence, Mass shootings don’t happen in Louisiana either.
No person born in Louisiana has ever been a mass shooter.
Mark Essex wasn’t from Louisiana. And the theatre shooter in Lafayette a few years ago was also a drifter from another state.

You really should learn where to direct your anger. That's not healthy.

This country spends billions of dollars to create the culture we now possess. From almost infancy, children learn to control those joy sticks and proceed to blow the other guy's head off. Movies and TV have no moral of the story other than, "Go ahead, make my day." Gangs, even in our very small local communities are out of control, like greed through college football.
There has never been a more honest, succinct, and indicting description of today's society, "We reap what we sow."

Nah. Fatherless homes and a culture that celebrates every immoral action is the problem. This is for all races.
I learned to shoot a gun at an early age, played video games, etc. So did all my friends. We all own guns to this day. We are told daily by the media, and the President, that people like us are the biggest threat to the country. This is also part of the problem. No accountability.
Believe me, IF people like me, my friends, and my family were the real problem, this would have been known decades ago.

I work at a low income, "diverse" school. Lately I find myself noticing alot of the student body seems to actively choose being angry and upset over being happy. like its more comfortable. thats a problem that runs deeper than fricking video games.

Yeah the video game thing is just older people that don't understand games trying to blame something.
Stanford did a study that showed no causal connection between games and violence. Other studies state that aggression goes up but it they're based on self-reporting surveys, not actual stats.

There are literally hundreds of millions of people that play violent video games and even more that watch violent TV shows. Especially in the US. The vast, vast majority aren’t coming close to committing gun violence.
We’ve had plenty of violence even before the advent of realistic looking violent games and tv shows/movies too. There are also quite a few of countries outside the US with high violent rate crimes even though some of these are nations are poorer ones without as large of the population that have tons of access to realistic modern violent media

Reasonable people and those who have been personally affected by mindless shootings and violence don't need a Stanford study to know the bullets are flying.
"Show me your friends, I'll show you who you are. Birds of a feather, flock together." Our past culture learned these truisms long before Stanford was a University.
Parents and people, in general, today can try to buy all the no-fault insurance they can afford to justify those Xboxes. "But at the end of the day, we are what we think." Nothing more and nothing less.

You could've just said "actual scientific research doesn't matter, my anecdotal evidence does".

Three suspects are in custody, 2 are juveniles. Want to take bets on the guns used were obtained illegally? And just like that the gun control talking point is useless and so this story is over.

Yeah, it is not a gun problem. It is a people problem. Guns were way easier to obtain legally 40 or 50 years ago than they are today, no waiting periods, no federal registery, anyone could pretty much sell a gun to anyone with no paperwork person to person and you didn't have anything close to the number of these types of incidents you have today. People today just flat out do not value the lives of other people in the same manner they did a few generations ago. The way to reduce violent crime isn't to decrease the number of guns in the country. The way to reduce violent crime is to reduce the number of violent people in the country.

Harsher penalties for bad people solves most issues.

There's no age requirement to carry a gun in public in Missouri. They should probably fix that.

No doubt the underage criminals here would have followed that law. Excellent point. If we make laws, the thugs will definitely get in line. Simple as that.

Correct me if I’m wrong. Are you saying you think the juveniles who shot people wouldn’t have been carrying weapons if it were against the law for them to carry a weapon?
