Why are mass killings so common in the US? Is there really no way to prevent mass killings in the US?

@Adstar I agree with this. So, not having the answer myself…. What are other countries doing to help with the mental health of their people?

@Adstar People with mental health issues are being incited to violence by Rightwing Media. "Why shouldnt I be on Putin's side?" "BLM, burned down cities, why shouldn't people fight back against BLM?"

@Adstar Mental issues don’t kill 20 kids in a classroom. Bullets from a gun do.

@Pitchblue
No.. You have been brainwashed and you are just repeating the lies you have been told..


No one mentioned Putin, The russian/ Ukrainian issue has nothing to do with the US domestic gun issue.. You are showing signs of mental issues yourself Jwalker..

@Adstar so true especially for boys who are conditioned so often to respond to feelings with violence.

At this point no matter one's opinion on guns, the cat is out of the bag. Guns are just part of american society. Mental health is not.

@justanothername

Insane statement.. Put a gun down on the ground in front of a school and i guarantee it will not get up and aim itself and fire itself to kill the students.. Delusional people like you don't have any effect on the violence happening in the USA because you are unable to identify the source of the actual problem.. Mentally unstable people not being cared for properly.. That's the source of the vast majority of mass killings in the USA.

@Dewkissedrose Some countries have affordable mental health systems.. Some nations have drug dependent intervention systems ( many mental problems derive from the abuse of certain drugs..) The USA is plagued by the abuse of drugs that damage peoples mental sanity..

@Doomflower Take the gun out of the equation all together and everyone goes home to their families.

@Adstar Hahahahahahaa
Tucker Carlson asks his viewers why they shouldn't be on Russia's side while the Russians slaughter people in apartment buildings, in schools, in hospitals. What's wrong with that, Tucker asks? Why shouldn't we kill Black People? Rittenhouse did and the Republicans turned him into a hero.

@Doomflower

This does play a part in certain communities where dis-respecting ( dissing) another person must be responded to by the use of extreme violence because the belief is that if one does not respond to disrespect by such violence one will be subject to ever increasing disrespect to the point of not being able to live in a community.. The ghetto type gang land culture makes people feel forced to kill someone who has publicly dissed them..

But this is a very different thing to Mass Killing... The gang land killings are usually one or two people getting shot at.. Yes many people are killed in the USA because of this respect / dissing culture.. But it is not like the mass shooting incidents..


The USA like many other western countries in the past had an large mental health system with many mental health asylums that housed many people who needed to have that level of supervision in their lives.. But the governments ( all over the western world ) wanted to reduce the costs of this system so they encouraged the popular belief that that mental asylums where cruel prison systems that abused and victimized people with mental health issues.. Atavists promoted the ""liberation"" of these challenged people, to get them out of these asylum ""hell holes"" and back into the community where they can be integrated into society..

Of course the shutting down of these mental heal systems saved the governments a lot of money and many of the people ""liberated"" from the asylums ended up living in cardboard boxes in the streets and the activists moved on to other crusades where they could virtue signal their moral superiority and with the approval of each other..

@Pitchblue
You're too far gone to have a discussion with man..

@justanothername okay, what's your plan to deal with the millions of guns and probably Billions of rounds of ammo out there?

Listen, I believe it would be a better solution to get rid of guns or restrict them more moving forward but I've been watching school shootings and other massacres my whole life. It is abundantly clear americans would rather continue to elect people who refuse to fund a decent educational or healthcare system let alone dedicated mental health services while they consistently refuse to enact gun laws. It's our own fault this happens and I'm kinda out of sympathy for the survivors.

The body count keeps getting higher and honestly I'm no longer capable of being horrified.

@Pitchblue Tucker Carlson didn’t say any of that. You are either seriously misrepresenting something he said or just making it up.

@Adstar it wasn't exclusively about money though. Those institutions also wrongly confined many people and did serious damage. The conditions were frequently horrific.

@Doomflower The country has more guns than people now but the answer is always more guns. The Supreme court is going to make it legal for everyone, I assume over 18, to conceal carry. Then Americans can have shootouts at the grocerystore.

@Pitchblue time to invest in some fashionable body armor.

@Doomflower
Yep that was exactly the line the Activists pushed all over the western world.. And now we are suffering the long term effects of their success in getting people to believe that's how it was in all mental health systems of the time... They threw the baby out with the bathwater and now we live with the consequences..

@Adstar I don't disagree. Many people lost needed support systems.

@Adstar I'm to extreme bur NOT Tucker, right?
