1. Everyone is frustrated with the government, and a whole lot of people feel like voting doesn’t do any good. Most people are simply not aware of any constructive ways to effect change.
2. To those frustrated people who feel like they can’t solve their problems in a civilized manner, assault weapons tend to be easily available.
@GuidanceCounselor Oh please, you’re just being difficult, not respectful. And quit playing the victim, all I did was point out what you were doing.
If what I described is not an assault weapon call it something else. You can call them ding dong dookies for all I care. They’re currently far too easy for most Americans to obtain.
The exact definition of an assault weapon varies according to federal and state laws. Why don’t you go ahead and share your definition.
The answer is bigger than any one thing, but a good deal has to do with Trump's incessant spreading of lies and hate. His unpatriotic actions are also a big concern.
Mental illness has nothing to do with it. The overarching problem is right in front of everyone: how the media covers mass shootings. But people aren't smart enough to recognize it and instead waste time debating non-solutions like stricter gun control laws or better mental health care. Because of that, nothing is going to change. American society simply isn't astute.
