It's a fucking sad state of affairs when mass shootings are weekly news

It's a fucking sad state of affairs when mass shootings are weekly news.
Get your shit together.

The fuck you want me to do about it?

bruh let's see some more honestly amirite

It's a reflection of the times.

People don't have anything to put stock in anymore. When there's no faith in anything, no hope, no optimism, nothing but shame at the present and fear of the future...it makes sense that more people than ever revere and mimic those who have made the ultimate "fuck you" gesture to the powers that be.

It has nothing to do with guns, with mental illness. It has everything to do with the way the way we perceive change in the world, and the way we as a completely interconnected society reward antisocial behavior.

>It has nothing to do with guns
Because the could have killed all those people with a butter knife?

The upside
Students in highschool have a way to get points when this happens and their history teacher asks for current events or something bizzare like that

Might not have been a butter knife but it WOULD have been something else. Make no mistake about that.

You could walk into a store in the middle of manhattan and buy a full auto Thompson in 1920. No questions asked, no controls, no laws. Yet there was no epidemic of joe rando psychos spraying down innocent masses of people in movie theaters for no reason.

There's more than just one reason for why these things happen other than availability of means, and thinking otherwise means you have no understanding of nuance.

Because any other nation with gun laws have killings on this scale. Most they can do with is a car and they usually get 5 or so people?

Serial killers accomplish far more horrifying things with a knife than these bags of shit do with a gun. The Hillside Stranglers converted a staunch anti-death penalty guy to being pro death penalty using only a coat hanger. The problem isn't the tool. The problem is a far scarier aspect that no one wants to talk about. It's people. You can't account for a person. You can't tell when your best friend, neighbor, or what ever is suddenly going to decide that they need to remove you and everyone around else around them from the face of the Earth. People are unpredictable, uncontrollable. So we focus instead on something that isn't the source of the problem, and isn't even the symptom. We blame the gun.

We should shoot those mass shooters before they commit a mass shooting! Who's with me!
>Charge to the nearest gun range

Look for potential mass murderers and shoot them yourself

Utoya ring a bell?

Woke

people get shot every day, in every country. murricans did nothing wrong.

The nuances are there, sure, but how can one debate the nuances of a problem if one of the big facilitators will never be fixed because it's too lucrative?
It's like talking about STDs but not wanting to talk about condoms first, of course it's important to understand the desease, but some times the first step is as simple as keeping people from fucking without protection.
People are uncontrollable, guns that can shoot and kill dozens in a few seconds on the other hand are much easier to control, you guys do have a government who is up 24/7 trying to control the people, which is much harder, than controling gun transactions, because this is the more lucrative path.

Preventing mass murdering doesn't generate more serial killers by the way, only generate less mass murdering, which would lower the death count a lot.

And unfortunately, just like your analogy, nobody can be forcing anyone to use protection and then only certain types, despite the scourge of STIs. The best you can do is strongly encourage.

If it can't be fixed because the firearms manufacturing industry is too lucrative, then isn't there nothing you can do about it? Is that not actually a reason to think about attacking the "disease" directly, instead of hitting a brick wall by going the supposedly "easy" route? Or are people only hungry for easy solutions that will make them feel better, without requiring uncomfortable introspection into how they contribute to a culture that promotes violence?

>It has nothing to do with guns, with mental illness.

Those are the two things that it has the most to do with you daft twat.

>liberal no like gun
>liberal shoot up gun free zone that liberal make
>liberal want more gun laws to stop conservative >from committing same crime that only liberal >commit fails to get law
bitches about how evil conservative is and sends another liberal with illegally acquired gun to shoot up gun free zone rinse and repeat

>weekly news

It's what happens when the left erodes society so much.

People have less money, lose their good job, lose faith in the future, listen to the left sow social division...
