[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shootings are the result of multiple failures within society, government, business, capitalism, and human nature.

There are always going to be stupid people who sell stupid products (weapons, drugs, alcohol) to people that shouldn't be able to buy them.  It's easier to buy things now more than ever before.

The right to bear arms needs to be amended already.

You can't get around human nature since humans had to kill to have food to survive. There are going to be stupid, violent people who make stupid, violent decisions.

There needs to be a review board of corporations and what they produce. If the products do more harm than good, the corporations should not be allowed to operate and produce things that are bad for society and the environment. Some things (like guns and ammunition, cigarettes/vaping, and chemicals like RoundUp) should not be mass produced.

Violence in the media and on computer games is glorified and is so prevalent that kids think it's normal and become desensitized.[/quote]

I get it all, but shouldn't you also ask a question "why".  What motivates people who do mass shootings and distinguishes them from other type of criminals or violent offenders who are committing crimes every single day.  And why is it' that it's schools and school kids involved in this?  I think you are focusing on treating the symptoms and not the disease.

If we were really at mercy of crazy people who had easy access to guns we would have shootings every day in every city USA in public places.  All the time. There are people committing violence every day in big cities, yet they don't engage in mass murder and it's not their goal.  Those who do mass shootings prepare and per-meditated.  If you aren't paying attention to these nuances then you are trying to use a hatchet where tweezers are needed to do the job.  [/quote]
