[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be lying if I said I don't think about it every time I walk out the house. It's sad because I miss the days when I only worried about it happening at work (I'm a teacher). I went to Walmart and the movies today and found myself looking for the exits at both places because it's happened at both places. Strangely enough, I saw The Matrix re-release today. I remember when the media blamed Columbine on that and Marilyn Manson. Now it's video games. [/quote]

Don't forget mental health.

As if other countries don't have mental health issues, angry males, video games, and extreme music. [/quote]

Most other civilized countries don’t have half the neglected children (and elderly) that this country has. You ought to travel a bit and see how normal humans care for their young.

Child abuse and neglect can have devastating consequences. So next time you see it, it IS your business - or at least it should be.

Yes, pp. the two infants that were just shot a little while ago (one in the face) were abused. Abused by our society, the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Fox News, and the Republican party. [/quote]

Your answer is a deflection, as the post to which you responded isn't necessarily pro-NRA.  This is indeed a THROW-AWAY country b/c we don't have a broader safety net that allows us to care for our young and our elderly. I have family and friends in Italy.  My friend was able to leave her job for a year to care for her dying father.  She stepped out of a position that was high-powered and included quite a bit of international travel.

So when the other PP mentioned neglect, s/he was referring to physical and emotional neglect.  Children raised by video games are neglected.  But it's easier to stick an iPad in front of a toddler, for example.  Years of that type of parenting can damage children, as they don't develop empathy.

just saying . . . This is not a sermon; it's simply a reminder that these mass shooters are created - shaped by home life and societal pressures.  [/quote]

This is exactly what people need to focus on. You will never have the ability to reduce the evil violence of traumatized, abused and neglected children once they grow up and unleash their rage.

Again:
Other civilized societies don’t neglect it’s children and elderly the way Americans do. Think about it, people. The seeds of the problem are sown right under your OWN nose. [/quote]

Good thing the GOP supports paid family leave, universal healthcare, and a robust social safety net.  Oh, wait. .....

I was a 2A supporter but now I'm done.  I want all guns confiscated and the 2A repealed.  And as the country turns blue, this will happen.[/quote]
