re: Am I the only one worried there actually is no solution?

You're never going to stop people from killing each other.

I still say stand those convicted, naked, no blindfold, in front of a firing squad.
The thought of standing there having the same terror, with their little frightened shriveled dick exposed, while they shite themselves would have to make some of them think twice before they commit this evil.

Random people getting shot for being at a store, or a club, or god forbid a school

Gun free zones, all of them.

No I got what you were saying in principle. I just still feel like there has to be some policy or something out there that could lessen

There are many policies that would. But you are falling victim to single variable thinking.

For example. I could dramatically reduce traffic fatalities if I cut all speed limits everywhere in half. or maybe I could do it by regulating all cars so that they couldn't exceed 40 miles an hour. Both of those would absolutely reduce traffic fatalities. And if the only thing I cared about was reducing traffic deaths then there would be no way to defend not doing it

But I'm sure you are bright enough to know why it is that we don't do those two things

Examining gun fatalities is exactly the same. liberals fall for the single variable do something line of thinking because to them there is zero benefit to having guns

But they're just wrong on this. In any case. Of course if you think there is zero benefit to owning guns then the only variable you will look at is reducing gun fatalities. And you will also stupidly think that anyone who opposes you just doesn't care about gun fatalities because you can't imagine any variables other than that single one being relevant

It's a symptom of the underlying sickness in our country

You can try to cover up the symptom or you can try to cure the illness. Unless you fix the illness you will just get knife attacks like in Europe. Or someone will make a bomb.

Right, but car accidents aren’t hate crimes and don’t carry the mass fear and hysteria of shootings. This is a dumb comparison. People will always be more afraid of guns than cars because they feel like they control the car whereas they can’t control whether they get shot

The fact that people are horrible at assessing risk is not an excuse to pass a law. Jesus Christ try some adult thinking

They can't control other drivers any more than guns they don't own.

Well you got one right: congratulations. No there is no such thing as a violent gun. Or a knife. Nor an automobile. Nor a poison. Gasoline is not violent but soak yourself in it and lite a match like an idiot. This whole subject is not a laughing matter but you have managed to marginalize it by trying to make some stupid posting points. Ok here's two. Is that enough? If not take two more. Even your GD header is a childish look at me attempt....."Are you the only ONE who worries about these tragedies". Go ahead and take some more points...you are hereby granted 4 points for being the only human concerned with mass shootings. AND QUIT trying to speak for other people. You strongly suggest there is no solution you fricking dumass. Now you disagree with your own self. And double down on your other untruths.

I will say this: mass killings are very much a part of the world scene. In this era seemingly started by Muslim terrorists world wide and now he copy cats. Muslims have a definite cause. the few here in comparison are all over the place as to motive. Look at me to mental illness to people who don't fit in etc. Maybe some with a marginalized political aim. Who knows. And we have people trying to gain political advantage over murders. Or get some perverse pleasure points on a goofy political board. But this problem pales compared to the mass murders and killings by socialists in the 20th century. Hitler was a piker but he murdered probably close to 8-10 million. Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot combined for well over 100M. Our society has came a long way since the dark ages hasn't it.

Take guns and let the nutjobs drive into crowds with box trucks

Automate driving and take away self driving

And nutjobs will go in with knifes


It will be something but all ends in loss of freedom
