re: How can American society fix this mass shooter phenomenon?

He said much more difficult he didnt say impossible

Yep, I've been hearing that for almost 25 years, and yet we still have the mass murders. We simply don't want to do what it takes to solve the problem. We'd obviously rather live with all the mass murders. It's barbaric.

Because the problem at HOME has been rectified ! If anything, it gets worse every year.

Riddle me this, you say "we simply don't want to do what it takes to solve the problem", so what needs to be done. Your statement gives indication that you have a remedy, so inquiring minds want to know......what needs to be done ? HOW WOULD YOU FIX THE PROBLEM ?

Mass murder of school children is.

Not the result of too much freedom. Hard fail.

quote:

---

Not doing anything about mass murdering of school children is also barbaric.

---

We could completely end it. Lock everyone in their house. Good thing that's not barbaric.

quote:

---

I never pretended to know why.

Don't you think that's something we might want to take a look in to?

Guns didn't change. Our society did. Why? And how do we fix it? That should be the focus. Yet no one wants to do this. Instead everyone just wants to make easy, token gestures that don't do shite to address the problem...because that would be hard.

So you're saying our violent, murderous nature IS American Exceptionalism. It's not just hat we have opportunity, it's that we're just that much more barbarous than every other country.

---

No. We are not a violent nation. Only a small segment is, and primarily from one type of urban culture. I'll let you figure the rest of that one out.

Don't you think with more guns than people in this country if we were all barbaric there would be gun battles in the streets 24/7? Yet that doesn't happen.

You're speculating, you don't actually know that

It's not really speculation, because the issue isn't the tool being used. It's the increasing number of people doing it. You've already ignored one example of why. Tsarnev made the cover of Rolling Stones, and he didn't even use a gun.

Other places have also moved away from traditional 2-parent families.

Some of the most ive seen on here lately we do seem to struggle in regards to 1 parent households compared to other countries. Somebody posted that our percent was as high as 25% compared to mexico at like 10%? and canada at 15

Mass shootings, as horrific as they are, account for less than 1% of murder victims every year

---

Mass murder of school children is.

---

Equating freedom and murdering school children is silly and pathetic.

quote:

---

The topic is on how to fix mass shooter phenomenons

---

And the first step is to find out why they only became more frequent in the past twenty years. You agree?

quote:

---

mexico at like 10%

---

To be fair, I wouldn't compare the US to a Catholic country where divorce is against their religion.

The UK has a similar single-parent household rate to ours, yet they're mass murder rate is much lower.

quote:

---

Like I've been saying the whole time ITT, get used to it because we don't want to do what's necessary to even figure out how to change it much less change it.

So either get used to it, or leave.

---

Well, you aren't removing guns from American society in any meaningful way so your options would be to further fortify soft targets or determine a better way to identify these people ahead of time.
