How many mass shootings?

Would force a change in our society? (USA)
What if it becomes once weekly or every other day.Could this be the new normal? Will we accept this?

I think the solution (it one exists) needs to be a bipartisan multi tiered approach. Personally I believe guns need to go. I have never liked them. But we also have to stop the person behind the attacks. This would mean several things in the long run but to start:
1. News media on the right, left, libertarian, socialist, and all other ideologies need to stop inciting anger and fear into mankind. The Shooter IS the Villan. But how much hate disseminates from 24hr news cycles?
2. Mental health needs to be seen as a positive thing. Not a negative thing. We should encourage good social behavior in school not just State testing common core BS.
3. Gun permits SHOULD stay in the hands of ppl of good character. But also
4. Guns should be fingerprint compatible. 1 person should fire 1 gun. That way we KNOW who the shooter is and a good person’s gun is not used by his or her crazed friend relative.
5. We need to value our communities more. We have grown so isolationist that we only converse with our world when we have to. And we tend to hate our neighbors vs love our neighbors.
6. Politicians themselves have to tone down the rhetoric. And for now 7. We need families to love again.

Idealistic, unrealistic I know but we need to heal our society by doing what we can for each other.

@Gamalon I agree with alot of what you said except finger print gun technology would be extremely limiting and I don't think we need to go that far. So many older guns exist so it would be useless anyway.

@Gamalon I could argue with you about this for hours/days but I'm having a good weekend... So you do the same!

@Th1nkF1rst No worries dood. If we disagree we disagree. Hope your day continues well.
