You are correct, for a variety of reasons.

Kehoe threw a bucket of water on her, but the fire was oil-based and his action spread the flames more rapidly, which engulfed and immolated her body. The injuries were fatal and she died the next day.
Also he did not use an ar 15 to do this. so banning guns is not the answer.

Gun racks, with guns in them were common in our high school parking lot.
Nobody ever brought one inside, no one ever threatened to use one.
But we were taught guns were serious business. They weren’t toys, and you never point a gun at anyone unless you are shooting to kill because you must.
We could settle an argument win or lose with words or fists if needed.
Today’s snowflakes can’t even handle rational discussion without getting violent.

The media has sensationalized the act, and it's now an instrument of recognition for many unhinged individuals.

Back in the 1960s we had way more mass shootings, bombings and violent bank robberies.

No teachers rights, except to put up pride flags around the classroom. Come to class in drag. Spout off nonstop about their sexuality.
Teaching your kids to be good little social justice warrior activists
That those who don't agree with you have done violence to you, and it's your obligation to respond with more violence
Oh and let's not forget the mentality that they are THEIR kids, not YOUR's, as they teach your kids not to trust you and to hate you.
And that if you speak out about it, they will throw your name face and where you work all over the internet to cancel you, and put you on an FBI watch list.
Unless you're muslim.

Well, while I was born in the mid 60’s, I grew up in America, not Mogadishu, and I don’t know anyone who fretted over school shootings prior to my birth. I think they referred to it as Happy Days for just such a reason.
I’m pretty sure you’re making this up in your head.

I would say that an even bigger problem is the destruction of the nuclear family and the absence of fathers in homes.
Almost errybody I knew growing up had guns in the house. Not locked up, either.
But we would never have dared touch them without permission/supervision.
Because errybody I knew growing up had a father in the house, too.

There were 13 mass shootings in the 1960s.
I think there’s been 14 this year.

Not random mass shootings like we have now. Not 14 year olds shooting up a school or a mall or a McDonald's at random.
We had more of the other stuff primarily because the radical left was still using bombs and guns to accomplish their purposes.
Now they use the media and schools.

The first "modern" mass shooting was Charles Whitman in 1966 on the UT campus.
Yep, from the tower on campus. Don't forget Richard Speck in the same year where he murdered eight female nursing students. The difference in the two killings, Speck used a knife, no gun.

Does anyone ever ask themselves these obvious questions, and I mean honestly?
Why have most of us grown up in an America where there were just as many guns, yet nobody seemed to think…”hey, maybe I should go to school and start killing people.” Or “hey, how about going into a church and mowing people down?”
Why now, and not back then if nothing has changed with people or culture?
If you factor in population increase, number of guns and deaths, these are still vanishingly rare. It's a high emotion, low actual chance of incident type of thing.

This is one of the products of the PsyOp being played out in America since the early 1990's
Combine that with transforming America from a Christian nation to and anti-Christian nation, and here we are.

Because our nation and parents have turned away from God. Kids aren’t afraid of either now and are friends with their parents instead of afraid of a good old butt whipping

Teachers have no authority over students.
the agendas put forth by school boards are an issue there.

Lack of accountability for one's actions (self-accountability).
Everybody gets a trophy. Nobody knows how to win or lose with dignity.
Removal of the schoolyard bully. I believe that having a bully helped a lot in learning that there are consequences for your action.
Parents allowing the internet and video games raise their children, because it is easier for the parent to not have to engage the child.
Just to name a few.

In the 1950s and 1960s, "parents" were doing things like (and teaching their kids the righteousness of) bombing black churches and fighting the national guard to keep black taxpaying citizens out of their state universities.
Let's not act like one single measure somehow means the gold ol days were actually good ol. People have always been shitbags.
