re: RE Shootings: When are we going to address the real problem instead of the effects?

I made a post earlier.

I agree with security officers in schools. Fine with me if they are teachers. Or another kind of member of the staff of the administration. You cannot find all the people who may do this. You Also cannot constitutionally restrict people from owning a gun any more than you can restrict people from saying something offensive. And as a matter of public policy why not make sure a school is at least as safe as a concert venue?.

I think the second thing that makes sense is some kind of judicial process, where the mentally ill/ threatening person can be adjudicated, either temporarily or permanently incapable of possessing a firearm. This shooter in FL, and most had prior complaints of dangerous and weird behavior. The cops couldn’t follow up, because you cannot prosecute someone for weird behavior. What were they supposed to do exactly with these “tips” they were recieivng. If there was actually a process, they could have initiated something.

I don’t think the banning of any kind of gun will work. All guns can be used to kill people.

Finding a way to remove them from truly dangerously ill people, AFTER DUE PROCESS is the only hope as I see it aside from securing schools in a way that makes sense.

That does nothing to address the actual issue.

Besides, I doubt there's a significantly higher instance of mental illness in people from one parent homes compared to two parent homes. A lot of mental health issues are hereditary.

Your post makes me so sad. The decline of the nuclear family in modern society is the origin of most of our modern problems.

There is not a one mental health problem I can think of that is developed in life that is not either directly caused or exacerbated by problems in the family unit.

We carry the shite that happens to us in childhood with us through life. For better or for worse.

False.

Perhaps including "I can think of" made it true though?

I actually think it’s the glorification of violence in the media in our extremely consumerist culture.

I would never censor anything but let’s face reality. That shite is advertised nonstop. We’re bombarded with violent images etc constantly. It’s what we are being persuaded to buy and sell.

And it doesn't even address my original question to the OP about what conservatives are doing to fight the mental health problem in this country

Your question was answered. Sorry you don't like it.

It’s not just mental health. Mental health problems were around in the 60s, 70s, 80s where school shootings were a non issue.

The biggest problem is the government and leftists getting control of the schools. You can’t teach morality or you will be fired. You can’t discipline kids or you will be fired. You can’t display anything of faith or you will be fired. It’s ok to walk into the female restroom if you are male. If you fight you go to jail. Everyone gets a ribbon or a trophy. And more importantly.... it’s someone’s else’s fault if you don’t succeed.

There are teachers in the family. There are students that are cussing teachers, flipping teachers off, interrupting class, and threatening teachers. Not in high school. In Elementary school!! One is quitting teaching at the end of this year and two others just retired early. They can’t do anything but “put in a referral” to the staff. You can guess what happens then. Nothing. What would have happened in elementary school if you did that? Because what happens now is you “get a referral”.

And we are shocked when these government ran leftist schools produce a nutcase.

We live in a society where they call cops to schools to arrest a 5 year old for misbehaving. Sad state of affairs.
