I will never once understand the US obsession with firearms. My opinion only - I think it's psychotic. If I could leave America, I would. I've had it with the sick, sick gun obsession. I'll never understand it and have read every argument for firearms. I'd rather leave you to kill each other with your bullets and "freedom". Disgusting.

There’s no obsession with guns, the obsession is being given everything and catering and enabling and when u don’t get ur way, and ur a cry baby, and can’t handle not getting ur way or people not agreeing with you..
If these people couldn’t get guns, they would find something else

I’m not sure what the truth of it is but I’ve been seeing on trans boards that the shooter is a trans man with he/him pronouns on his social media. I’m reading that the police are using his birth (dead) name and original gender assigned at birth. I guess we will know soon. I know that the only other trans shooter was also an FTM person. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out this is right. It’s so weird to me that people are assuming this will be “an XY”. As the local DCUM trans woman, I can tell you that testosterone makes you feel very different than estrogen. No trans woman has ever been a mass shooter. That doesn’t mean it will never happen but it’s a lot less likely, especially if they’re taking estrogen.

I was wondering if the shooter was transgender when I heard it was a female because it is extremely rare for females to commit mass murder. I did remember the one case of the shooter who was FtM. Testosterone can cause behavioral changes and aggression.

I don’t think it matters in the grand scheme of things because guns are the real culprit here. But I think it’s notable in this case as far as potential motive (I’m guessing the shooter had been picked on for their gender at some point) and it raises interesting questions about testosterone and propensity for aggressive behavior. As a PP noted it would be unusual for a trans woman to be violent while on estrogen. I’m not sure what to make of these facts. At the end of the day, a horrible person is a horrible person regardless of their gender identity. You have to be a piece of crap to kill innocent children and teachers.

Sure but nothing else kills as many people as quickly as an AR-15. Except a bomb, but that takes a lot more effort to arrange.

And yes, Americans are obsessed with guns. Please.

And here's data about the amount of firearms in the US.

This very well could be considered a hate crime if the school was targeted because it was a christian school.

Complete speculation. I’m a female on very high levels of testosterone and I’ve never even raised my voice since taking T, let alone murdered children.

Bunch of virtue signaling losers.

Imagine how sad those children’s lives are. What weird fears are they being fed.

Lots of firearms can kill just as quickly as an aR-15.

Just stop.

Such a hateful statement.
Thankfully, the shooter is dead. Pray for the children and the families.

OP here. I am a mother of two elementary school students and I am fed up with "thoughts and prayers" and no action every time I see another school shooting.

So unless you have something more productive to offer than "pray" (FYI, I'm an atheist, so no, I won't), you stop please. Stop and offer potential solutions that aren't prayers and more doors.

That is evident from your first sentence.

I am not an atheist and I don't want thoughts and prayers as an answer to school shootings. God gave us the ability to ban ridiculous weaponry and use other gun control measures so let's use that god given solution.

Too late. Tennessee recently passed legislation making it legal to carry concealed weapons. Guns in today's incident all o trained legally.

Shooter was transgender so more fodder for DeSantis and other ultra right wingers to whip up more hate for transgenders.

There will be no passage of any gun control legislation.

I’ll say this, while there’s a toxic masculinity culture of “man up” and “boy/men don’t cry”, testosterone also suppresses the ability to cry in many ways. While I was still living as a man, I could at times muster a few tears. Now I can cry at the drop of a hat. Testosterone also tends to suppress some feelings. I don’t think it affects everyone the same but for me it definitely did.

So to sort of explain what it was like being on testosterone. Imagine you’re looking down a hallway. One door says sadness. It has a lock on it. Another door says anger. It doesn’t have a lock. All the emotions are behind doors. Most of the doors have locks on them but a few don’t (such as anger). So a situation happens that makes you sad. Sadness inside has to open a special box, remove a key, go to the door, unlock the door, open it, and then step outside to feel that. Often times the door never gets opened because the event was small and didn’t really last long enough to get that far. Anger has no lock, it can come out immediately. On estrogen, it’s the opposite, anger is inside the locked room and joy, sadness, etc have no locks on their doors. It’s just easier to access these feelings for me now.

Even the experience of living as a man vs a woman makes it so obvious. Men don’t tend to stare at one another because they are socialized that doing that can lead to some amount of violence or that you’re giving off vibes that you’re going to commit violence. Not always but in general men aren’t staring at each other. I’ve walked down the street wearing a cami and my nipples are erected and I’ve had middle age cis women just stare at me (for the longest time I couldn’t figure out what was happening, I thought they were staring at the trans woman but then a friend clued me in). A man would never do that to another man. Because of the threat of anger and violence. Testosterone.

It’s complete speculation that testosterone raises one’s aggression? This murderer is the fifth born female person who has been a mass shooter, out of 172. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/27/us/woman-shooter-nashville.html I guess it’s lightly speculative but not exactly a leap to note that testosterone can make people aggressive.
