300 million other Americans have the same opportunity to purchase weapons and they managed to not shoot up a school today.

Access to weapons isn’t the problem.

The Columbine picture came from the anal.tearing account. Another picture today of a body on the floor with blood was posted on the same account.

which countries?
Every single 1st world country


Our rates of these incidents is the largest



actually rate would be highest, not largest.

But let's save that for later. All first world nations are not the same. For example, rate of mass shooting is SELF-REPORTED to the WHO.

You tell them what you think your rate actually is.

something else?

there has to be a reason/reasons


It's the fastest way to become famous while at the same time getting revenge over some slight.

That's pretty much it.

It's the ultimate (and most horrible) form of narcissism.

The availability of guns in the United States is just the weapon of choice, not the reason why they lash out.




Yeah, short of rounding up all the guns in America, guns will always be a problem in this country. However, that doesn't mean we should just mail it in.

You're not wrong here. The way around this is to be more aware of what's going on with your child at a younger age.

The general public is not even close to being educated on mental illness enough to recognize a lot of the signs though.


even parents with kids that are clearly not normal couldn't fathom their own offspring carrying out a shooting. what do they do? keep sending the kid to therapy? what if it's not financially feasible for them? what if the kid gets a pass and is deemed normal?

cant just blame "mental health," just like you cant simply blame guns

I think the shootings have to do with : loneliness, bullying, outcasts, sexual frustration, social media, and keeping up with joneses . US has more of this then other countries

Most guns are by nature military style since they were developed for and used by the military. A musket is still military style.


Shotguns and certain bolt action hunting rifles are okay.

I'm leaning on making semi automatic Handguns and semi auto rifles illegal.

Because a guy who might have ptsd and snap is more trustworthy?

However, I do not believe that is the only/main culprit here.


Single-parent households, longest working hours annually within the western world = a lot of latch key kids that aren't getting any guidance.

Shep is a complete idiot. Listing all fatal school shootings since Columbine. You'd think if he actually cared he would know Sandy Hook

Now this is good stuff.

I would also add one of the most diverse populations in the world as well, which can def lead to more turmoil and issues

Bombs are easy to make and much more effective killing machines.

Dont get people who want to blame the tool vs the person using the tool inappropriately
