Want to understand the amount of school shootings in the U.S.?

Just a quick read of an example of why school shootings or so wide spread lately.
I don't know why it isn't posting this as a clickable link so you will have to copy and paste it in another tab. Sorry.

Lib lawmakers demand teachers can’t be trained and carry in schools to protect the children because deranged libs need to go shoot up A bunch of kids so they can blame conservatives ( law abiding gun owners) for guns . 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a side bar to this convo - parents. "I had no idea"...no idea their sons or daughters had death all over their FB pages or were amassing an arsenal...all because they want to be their kids "friend" rather than a parent. That's what angers me the most - irresponsible parenting is letting these maniacs out in the world and we have to deal with them....

@luctoretemergo what is dumbfounding is that some are unable to grasp that violent crazy people do not obey laws but want to make a law to stop crazy violent people from breaking the law.

You don't need to think very hard to figure out whos raising the crazy kids.

Agreed..In the words of Chris Rock..."what ever happened to just being crazy?"
Why does it always have to be someone else's fault?

@luctoretemergo Why does it seem all too easy for a kid to amass an arsenal in some countries?

No, not particularly.
"Understanding" always seems to want to lead us to 'understanding that it's not really the fault of the shooter / bad guy. In the past, they've even tried blaming some of the real victims - people that got shot, cuz they weren't nice to the jack wad that shot them!

What's to understand? Crazy people hurt other people. Often we know that people are crazy BEFORE they hurt anyone. And liberal bleeding hearts prevent society from protecting itself by masking the potential dangerous characters.

We can't count on first responders like police to do the right things. Like that dumb ass cop that waited outside for backup while the shooter was killing people inside.

The progressive left fights the concept of allowing willing and able teachers to be trained and armed.

Until society clearly understands that we need to defend ourselves and our children - expect more innocents to loose their lives.

@Budwick You may have misunderstood what I was trying to point out with this. I'm not condoning or pushing blame. People are directly responsible for their own actions. But the media pushes the ideas into the public eye where the ,already sick, people can think to copycat others foul actions. The example of suicide was just where I saw a direct connection to the mass amounts of this happening all of a sudden.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@Dainbramadge I understand. I apologize if I came off as if I were coming at you - that was not my intention. I agree that the media has a lot of blame in the mess. I think your ideas are right on - I was trying to expand on it. I hope we're good.
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
@Budwick Yes sir we are very good. I was afraid that I didn't get the point, I was trying to, across and that I was going to look like a dork because of it. LOL. Thank you for your response.

I do not need anyone's help to know when the crazy violent ones are being allowed to walk freely among us.

There have always been a tiny percentage of crazy violent people and someone apparently thought that locking up drunks and guys that were accused of rape by their wife was more important than putting insane inbred and violent children of a privileged upper middle class in a rubber room.

The second big cause is they decided to teach kids in school that God is a big dead ape. Crazy huh?


Guns have always been around in massive numbers.
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
@SteelHands Yeah I don't blame the gun like a lot of people do. I see potentially violent people being given the idea of how to make their mark on the world by copycatting this stuff.
xixgun · M
I blame the media for giving them their 15 minutes... all day long.
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
@xixgun Yes!! That is how I see it as well. Now, for the record, only sick people can be impressed like this. But I too blame the media for doing things that the have known for decades NOT to do. 24 hour news has to scare you into tuning in tomorrow.
xixgun · M
@Dainbramadge 24 hour news lets you know there really isn't that much happening on a daily basis, and to justify their existence, they beat the dead horse of [b]every[/b] subject because there is no other reason for them to be there at a time besides 6 and 11.
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
@xixgun I agree.
Bewilderbeeste · 61-69, M
There is a strong feeling that guns should be made to backfire, so that anyone who uses one will commit suicide [i]instead[/i] of murder. Logically speaking, that should reduce the number of shootings, in school and elsewhere.

I hope everyone can get this notification. Sorry it took so long to respond to some of you but for some reason I didn't get the notifications at first.

I don't know why it doesn't work right.

Its a trend and a very disturbing one. It stems anywhere from social isolation to mental instability. Its a rough road.
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
@Zonuss This is a great level headed answer Zonuss. If I gave best answers I would have to give this one it. I don't give B.A.'s because I think everyone who comments is the best.
