When will mass shootings not be a regular occurrence in America?

My father said something about it and I think he was on to something. It was not until he did a stint in Colorado that he met people who though resolving problems with bullets was acceptable. We have plenty of gun owners in Canada but you would be hard pressed to find one with that same mindset. In fact most gun owners I know would suggest that makes you emotionally too immature to be trusted with a weapon of any kind.

your the only one grouping yourself with shootings, I have lived in europe for more then a quarter of my life and in my country they dont hear about shootings they hear more about terrorism.

How about when we start focusing on better mental healthcare and screenings. Or when we stop allowing politicians and the media to divide us to the point that for some, violence seems the only option?

I promise you, if you surrender your right to bear arms today, you will be surrendering your other rights tomorrow.

Guns should be for the military, not the regular person....and, since when did ‘regular people’ NEED an arsenal of weapons to defend themselves?

The other option, as Chris Rock said in one of his sketches, is to make bullets more EXPENSIVE! You can’t afford the bullet, you can’t shoot them!

It requires a large-scale reconstruction of society. Economic stress and massive destruction of social institutions has exacerbated the atomization and alienation of Americans. In response to the hopelessness of this situation, everyone is turning to extremes, and those with horrible intentions are finding the opportunity to express themselves. America has allowed fascism to fester in its borders virtually unfettered. In order to change the grim situation Americans are facing, they will have to build their own community organs and reject the current economic system that fosters misery and hatred, and this will include rallying against the pathetic administration that has aided the spread of sick and deranged ideas whilst giving all its luxuries to the wealthy.

Guns appear to be ingrained in American culture. A cowboy mindset.

America needs to mature and just get rid of the guns. You don't need them. Australia handed in our guns over 20 years ago. Not a single mass shooting since. Plus I don't have to worry about being shot when I go out because - no one has a gun. It's very simple. Just stop being so patriotic to an outdated constitution and get rid of the guns.

I don't see it stopping any time soon. It's been progressively getting worse. As long as there are mentally unstable people that are unfit to own/operate firearms, it won't stop.

I’m not optimistic. The way many people cling to the 2nd Amendment, right or wrong, it’s obvious [b]based solely on results[/b], we’ve demonstrated as a country that we love our guns much more than our children. 😒

When Im President Of The United States in The Future They Will Decline

When the NRA is no longer a thing. I feel like this association is part of the problem. Putting fear into the hearts of gun owners, reminding them to buy a ton of guns if the government confiscates their weapons and becomes tyrannical.

When congress passes reciprocity

Never. Unfortunately. 🥺

Either when they get rid of the masses, get rid of the shooting or get rid of the America :p


My guess is the masses will be the first ones going when Supervolcano (and it's ash and debris) at Yellow Stone erupts and destroys a good part of America.

I think it is ironic 2 is a 'mass' shooting

Unfortunately I don’t think they will stop. If anything, Americans have proven quite prolific at lowering the bar and finding ways of justifying why it needs to be there.

I wonder what’s causing the kids to snap

People like you give me hope! I despair at the ostrich, head in the sand inability or refusal to see and understand why it keeps happening..

It's already regular lol

Check Wikipedia mass shootings page. You'll see a shooting once every few days. Already 100+ this year

Those people probably didn’t feel like they had a choice. It was a matter of self defense or mental illness.
