Thinks the only way to kill people is with a gun. What a fricking moron.

I guarantee you this will come down to mental issues with the shooter who should not have had a gun by law. We have a real issue in this world with mental health.

Can we all not agree it should be much more difficult to get a hold of a gun if it’s documented you are mentally unstable ?
Can we agree that law enforcement and the justice system would use this as a tool to take weapons from people for non legit reasons, such as political affiliation?

So for almost 30 years? That’s considered “new” to you?

The classic response....punish all law abiding citizens and do nothing to stop the problem discussed in the OP.
How is it punishing law abiding citizens?
It's making a standard process for registering and owning deadly firearms.
These loser thugs with guns can get put away for life.
Would is stop all incidents? No, but it's a start and every law abiding citizen gets to keep their stupid fricking guns.
I have guns for the record and I'd be fine having to register them and prove I'm not insane.

Because there are millions of guns available. It should be a lot tougher to own a gun.

Just make murder punishable by death and you’ll deter all the killings…oh wait.

I'd gladly make abortion illegal if it meant getting guns off the street.
So we can all rejoice that another generation of black criminals won't be aborted. Yay

Restore genuine community where people have a vested interest in taking care of THEIR mentally ill, looking out for the people falling through the cracks, that will step in to help avoid catastrophe from bad or absent parenting.
None of which will happen with an increasingly centralized country of 350m with few ties that bind. People need to take a renewed and first interest in their neighborhood, town, etc. and leave national politics and culture aside. Obviously we have some forces that do not want that movement, however.

It isn't the total solution, but we need to start prosecuting the people who ignore or fail to act on the signs these little psychopaths display.
Yep. Someone knew this kid was a ticking bomb and either ignored it, or threw their hands up.
Even if it’s your own flesh and blood you gotta get them help or lock their arse up until they are better

School shootings prior to 2000Not near as many as we have now. Just perusing wiki for school shootings since the 50’s. Most incidents only had one casualty.

You're right, 25 years is a "lot" out of like 240 years this country has existed.

In a society that rightfully protects freedom and due process, trying to help mentally unstable people on a voluntary basis is going to likely have limited effect. The standard for denying someone with mental health issues their freedom is also a difficult line to draw or timely enforce. I don’t think the answers are as easy as some pretend.
We (society) did it for thousands of years leading up to the 1950's. And you are correct. It is an extremely difficult and really harsh stance to take, but probably the only step that would have an immediate affect on the lone insane gunman killings.

That is until the party in power decides that not voting the right way constitutes a mental illness and then their little jackboot thugs break down your door at night and murder you and your family for “resisting” when they come to take your guns now that they’ve made them “illegal” with the stroke of a pen.

Fentanyl is pretty tough to procure and it somehow killed over 100,000. We do a bang up job on prohibition obviously.
