General degradation of society and shitty parenting.
People who dont have God in their homes, people being raised fatherless, people fricking off on the internet for 50% of their awake time, people playing video games for 50% of their awake time, kids not being allowed to pick on each other and fight anymore. All that stuff broods weird fricked up people.
I could go on and on. My fiance teaches kindergarden and it's amazing how many of those kids are already in hopeless situations. Their parents allow them to stay up all night playing video games and playing on the internet at 5 years old. They dont listen, they dont respect the teacher because they know she cant touch them. The parents suck

Mental illness is an issue in this country that needs to be addressed. Crazy people kill people not guns

Some of you need to read history with all this “degradation of society” nonsense

I have said before that I really think someone needs to do a retrospective medical study of all the shooters and look at if they were medicated as children. Big pharma has pushed the use of multiple drugs designed for adults into use on pre-teens and teens and we know for a fact that the drugs effect the developing mind differently that the adult mind. We have known this for years and they recently have been forced to admit that it is making kids commit suicide. They fought adding that to the warnings for years. Think about that, they knew a drug designed to help depression was making people take it kill themselves and they fought for years to put that on the label.
So I don’t think it is a leap or tinfoil territory to think it could make you prone to being homicidal. I am not saying I am convinced this is the outright cause of each one but we hear of lots of these kids having had prior mental health treatment. I know the Sandy Hook kid had. It would be completely possible for someone with the time and funding and medical credentials to get the autopsies and medical histories of all these shooters and look at this.
But they can’t get the funding. You know why? Because studies like this are funded by, drumroll here, the same companies that make these drugs. Shockingly, they aren’t interested in knowing the answer to this.

I've been a believer in govt operated boarding schools, in lieu of the foster system, for some time
I've also been a fan of kids that get expelled for behavior or non-attendance also being placed in these boarding schools
I know it is not a popular opinion, but letting young and impressionable minds run loose like that often leads to a worst possible result.

Rampant hedonism/nihilism. If nothing means anything except getting yours, those on the outside of society will try to get revenge. In the past, even the poor dumb homely looking guy good likely get a decent job, family, and be integrated into a community. Now, there is just the individual and the state.

Dad's don't exist
This.
This is one thing that probably enrages me the most. On one side there are plenty of so called men that don't do shite for their kids.
On the other side dads that do give a shite have to go through a court system that's biased against them from the beginning. Even in deep red Louisiana. I've seen this myself with a hearing officer in the 21st JDC who is an outright misanderist. She has shown this bias towards me as well as a few friends of mine that had gone through the same nonsense. The woman I'm seeing now even saw this as she told me on how in the middle of the court room the hearing officer used her position to tell a man who was practically homeless and jobless that if he didn't pay child support that he had no means of paying she was going to have him put in jail. The whole time the ex-wife is standing there with a big grin on her face.
Now you tell me, how the hell is putting him in jail going to help? He already has a hard time of finding a job to pay child support, now he will have it on his record he served jail time making it even worse.
The worst of it is that this person isn't elected but appointed by the judge who is. I will be taking that into consideration come election time later this year.
The family court system has made it easy for a spiteful woman to financially and socially ruin a good man. The attitude of "oh, but the kids always need their mom" even though mom could be a raging alcoholic running a train of dudes in their house is a dangerous one to hold.

Everyone has all the answers. Yet, the real problem is that no one has provided any solutions that doesn’t get caught up in red tape.
Whatever changes are made when they are made, people aren’t going to be happy.
But this sort of thing can’t continue. Yet, no one has done anything to change the mindsets of people and the news gives out the notoriety to these people like free candy.

What's "new" can be seen from the workplace violence in the 80s such as postal shootings. There is a reason people got the term "going postal." The press was hot and heavy on running with those stories.
Gang members shooting a total of 50 people in a weekend from multiple shootings doesn't provide the shock and ratings of a single shooting and the press likes to glorify the act. Even message boards do the same. Look at how posts are in any mass shooting thread versus a weekend of shootings in a large city.
One of the parkland victims father is an advocate for not publicizing the shooters identity. When Cruz was placed in custody, he actually received love letters. Seriously love letters. People trying to be "remembered," want attention or push a cause will be drawn to the notoriety of a mass shooting.
There are lots of things that can be done without losing freedoms and rights over and the first is to deny the shooters goal.

How many of these shooters have any history whatsoever of engaging the mental health treatment resources? As a child, teen, or adult? You can't mandate/force someone to treatment.

The world is full of evil and chaos. The government can't protect you. Even if it could, the government won't protect you. Because the government isn't made up of selfless entities; it is made up of people just like you trying to protect themselves. It is up to you and you alone to protect yourself and your family.

I’d be curious to see numbers on mass shooters playing sports throughout school. Obviously it’s not the reason they shoot up public places, but I bet the % is low
