Since this problem was pretty much non existent 20-30 years ago (even when gun laws were less restrictive, and firearms were less expensive and more available)
common sense would deduce that guns and lack of gun laws aren't the problem...
I would say lack of parenting and poor education is mostly to blame
@wildbill83 ya, all the above. I googled school (this included Elementary, High School, Universities and school buses) massacre in the USA with my son yesterday, and we were beyond shocked, we found some dating back to the 50’s! Just like you said, way worse over the last 20-30 years. Up here, if you’ve passed mental health clearance, have your PAL and other licenses. With wait times a person has 4 days to calm the fuck down and really think about buying a gun to murder. Maybe all schools do need guards, would create employment down there which would be good.
@Jeephikelove the irony is, democrats would never go for thorough background checks in their "battle ground" states (like the ones most red states already have); because it would expose the lack of any background or ID for many of their supporters (illegal immigrants).
needless to say, thorough background checks should be required for ALL residents of the US, and anyone with a history of violence, especially felonies; or total lack of background should be automatically excluded from voting, much less owning a firearm.
But yet again, democrat legislature is overturning many of these laws on the silly basis of them being unfair or "racist" towards minorities...
many of which are the same minorities committing these crimes...
Democrats don't care about kids, they're merely props to push their tyrannical agendas; Did they really care, they'd overturn roe vs wade themselves instead of pushing for things like post natal "abortion"... They'd be stopping illegal immigration, not allowing them to pour through freely, unvetted and untested.
In short, all these "politically correctness" laws that cater to the self indulgent are having a cascade effect on everything else... we have a government and media that devalues life, victimizes criminals, encourages violent riots/looting
then act surprised if someone follows the precedent they set... 🤔
