A 'Merican response to school shootin's

Basically everyone in the developed world uses social media now and most of these nations are more liberal/more secular/God-less than the United States. However, these countries have very low gun violence so we cannot blame social media and more God-lessness entirely, otherwise these countries would have similar rates of gun violence but they don't. No one wants to admit but it is access to guns that is causing gun related death.

What has changed since the 50s (at least in the US) is that young men decided to use guns rather than get into fist fights or (bring a knife) after school. There were way more fist fights back then, any old movie shows this. I really don't know why they decided to use guns, perhaps because fist fights may be considered felonies now. Even drunk driving is considered way more serious now. Maybe these newer laws are putting limits on how younger men express themselves, so they turn to guns.

I do think social media helps fuel isolation, and there is definitely a correlation between increase in social media use and increase in gun violence. So, increase in social media and access to guns may not be a good mix.

But, most people are not fine with banning social media as that would be an infringement in free speech, etc. There is a definitely a mix of reasons causing gun violence, but I think it is inaccurate to put no fault on access to guns at all.

I do not believe there is any way to not include the fact that US started supporting abortion . Showing a deep devaluation of human life

I said this:

There are many crazy people in the world. They exist.
‘The difference is that here in US, a crazy person can easily get a high powered weapon and cause more death very quickly compared to other places in the world.

It’s as simple as that.

Guns are the issue. This is why Guns NOT people were banned at the NRA Trump meeting.

and then you said this:

Can you tell me about a gun killing anyone ? That nasty ol gum just bounced into the school as fired at its will . That gun took aim and fired. Guns are nasty like that

Where does the logic follow?


But if guns are for protection, then why were they banned at the Trump NRA meeting?

You know, you really need to give that a rest....
they were banned at that social gathering for the same reason they are banned at concerts, sporting events, school functions, in court houses, the list goes on.
You are trying (and failing) to make it into something it is not.... do you really think that concealed carry weapons are allowed at any kind of event featuring nearly ANY politician, much less a former POTUS.... ?

Trying to make it "something" because it involved the evil NRA.... your intentions are painfully obvious.

This is about the logic and the programming that all gun-loving people have.
Guns are not the issue. People are.
‘Well, why do we block them at the social gatherings you mentioned then?
Because we know Guns are the issue don’t we?

This sad moral situation in America can expose the problem of guns too because we didn‘t have this problem before.
Also as others have mentioned here in this topic, these sad family situation exists elsewhere too but they don’t pick up an AR and mow down 20 people. Why? Because they can’t get guns like we do that’s why !

So bad intent is maximized when using a tool then? Like a gun? Which can do damage pretty fast? That‘s why it’s banned in large social gatherings?

Boston Marathon bombing, two, count 'em two guys planted two homemade pressure cooker bombs. Look at what they were able to do. People with intent will find a way.

YES YES we must out law pressure cookers hurry hurry

So the NRA meetings have metal detectors then, to block people from bringing knives and pressure cookers.
‘Maybe we need metal detectors in schools then, to discourage the usage of these “tools”?

Metal detectors are in courts the kids are at least as important. First parents need to be teaching their kids , Christian parents should be ashamed sending their gifts from God to the lions dens

We agree that parents need to do more and the country needs better morals as I’ve said earlier but here’s another question.

When the secret service or the courts say “no guns through these metal detectors”and they get to keep their guns, why are you okay with this but not okay when other people in government say “let’s limit some guns”?
