The world is not surprise that the USA has about 100 murders a day and close to 300 mass murders a year ?

@Carazaa People don't change if they feel it is their born right to abuse others. My aunt was physically and emotionally abused from her wedding night until the death of her husband. The messages he got from his peers, the family, and faith community was that she was at fault and should work on making him happy. Why would such a person change? She insisted on change.

@CopperCicada What I was saying is I see marriages change all the time because the woman leaves and insisting on not talking to him for 6 months until he has gone to AA and NA, and counseling and anger groups. I encourage women to leave immediately and not go back until they have talked to the therapists after a year. Men realize then how wrong they have been. They tell me all the time.

@Carazaa That's great. That didn't happen in the time and place I came up.

@MistyCee Agree that they seem to like the way things are now, curious.

@SW-User Yes NRA wants to make money, but the Government can do something about guns. I have faith they will. I am praying.

@Carazaa @Carazaa all of what you just quoted is known as "ADULTHOOD"
It sucks, it's always sucked but it wasnt until recently that people have started shooting places up.
Your right we can do better with mental health, but stop making excuses for these people.

@krf336 I care about all people and even those who are so stressed that they want to kill themselves and everyone around them. We need to care more about people! If we did these shootings wouldn't happen.

@Carazaa on that we agree, but that is not something you can legislate

@SW-User Absolutely!

@Carazaa agreed! It's full of citizens who think it's evil.

@krf336 And doing nothing about it!

@samueltyler2 Money and capitalism has something to do with it because people are stressed to pay rent and mortgage while the banks are wealthy and can charge high interest rates and the Government doesn't care if people are homeless.

@Carazaa Gun control is hitting your target with the bullet. Murder is already illegal. More laws to break is not the answer. There is no single solution, but improving access to mental health care is a good place to start.

@SteelHands Other countries have been around for thousands of years, the USA is a young country that is still learning about safety, and how to care for their citizens so they don't get so stressed they want to kill people. Really says a lot about the country.

I have lived in the USA and in a few European countries. The difference is people are not stressed in Europe because of free healthcare, free colleges, excellent mass transits so young people don't have to buy a car if they can't afford it or are blind or handicapped, and kids can get around on their own busses, and there is much less crime. That makes people less stressed.

People get mad all over the world, we all get mad, but in the USA there are guns to kill people with, not so in most European countries. If I had a gun every time I got mad that's not good. I will not have a gun because only people shoot people. I will pray for protection and love people instead of having guns as protection.

@StrictSouthernHOH Mental health doesn't help people who cant afford healthcare, or cant afford the car to drive there, or cant afford education to get a job they want, or are homeless. Mental health is a band aid.

@Carazaa
As a publicity stunt from San Francisco to deflect from their own failures. If you think NRA members are terrorists, then you're a hysterical extremist and there's no reasoning with you.

@Sicarium I believe in love not hate. 🤗

@Carazaa Apparently your definition of "love" includes spreading misinformation and labeling law-abiding citizens as terrorists. Consider me skeptical of the validity of your version of "love".

@Pikachu i hope so lol

@PlumBerries

I know. That argument is so stupid.

@Pikachu it really is and it distracts people from the real reasons mass shootings happen..

@Carazaa But mostly in Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, L.A. & Detroit

@Th1nkF1rst More than people!

@Th1nkF1rst sure do.

@Carazaa Would you feel better if she had stabbed her daughter to death?

@StrictSouthernHOH She wouldn't have stabbed her to death because stabbing takes more time and she would have noticed it was not a prowler, but her daughter. She was devastated when she noticed it was her daughter she had shot.

@Carazaa How is any of it the gun's fault? Gun control does nothing to prevent violent people from being violent. However, it can prevent law abiding citizens from defending themselves.

@graywanderer Wow, crazy!

@graywanderer Mass shootings still represent just one-half of 1% of the more than 14,000 firearm-caused homicides per year. Yet, they're what everyone focuses on rather than the other 99.5%.

There is no official criteria for a mass shooting either. To even get to the 300 number mentioned in the post you have to include anything where three or more people are injured. I think the number is three, but I'm not positive. The problem with this definition is things like the Vegas shooting is classified the same as a fight getting out of control at a bar. I don't think this broad of a definition is good for understanding what's actually going on, but it's great for those looking for ratings and shock value.
