Well, the Idaho killer used a knife. So, that one is most definitely not gun related.

Your point? Why did none of this ever seem to happen before columbine?

They all reflect an absence of morality in our culture.

Bring God back

There were over a hundred million gun owners and 400 million legally owned guns that weren't used in a crime yesterday.

If guns or responsible gun owners were the problem, you'd know it.

Actually seems they might all have personal issues with their targets

1. Ex football player kills his teammates
2. Trans person kills lgbtq people
3. Manager shoots his employees

Not so much a random terroristic attack

Why do they have to have anything in common? All acts of evil committed by humans... what did we blame those on 30 years ago? 300? 3000?

We'll one out of three was w a knife… We've also seen loonies use bombs, cars etc…

So yes, it def isn't the gun…


I do agree that a guy who isn't able to acknowledge his gender is mentally ill though…

So you did get one thing right

It did. No internet or social media

We're largely a godless nation. We've lost our moral tether.

And why do you single out these? Are you not also outraged at the daily big city street violence? Or does they not fit the narrative....

Or hey...how about the 1970s when guys had gun racks in their trucks at school and there were no school shootings?

So your argument is that mental health issues have nothing to do with someone willing to commit mass murder? Good luck with that.

All in one week.

And what do the sites have in common? The shooters?

Absolutely nothing.

Couldn't be the guns though. Right? I mean. It's never the gun.

Move along. Nothing to see here. Just a mental health crisis. 10 years ago we blamed Hollywood. 20 years before it was video games. What's the next move of the goal posts, folks? Fast food? Obesity is my guess.

Insanity that this is the America we live in.

I don't think this thread delivered as you hoped. Mexico clearly has a gun problem too. If they would ban guns, that would definitely end the gun violence there.

When there's a cop shooting, it's always the cop's fault.

When there's a civilian shooting, it's always the gun's fault.

(can't find the meme)

Why ignore Idaho?

Because criminals intent on killing people will definitely follow gun laws.

Typically jacked up isolated kids with horrible godless atheist parents. Just being honest. Almost every single serial killer and school shooter has this in common, going back decades. Some of the safest places in THE WORLD are heavily armed predominantly conservative communities filled with church going people, and their guns aren't hurting anyone. As you venture into the more godless democrat controlled places with tougher gun laws, you get more violence, chaos and general malice.

I don't just arm myself to defend against the government, but also these types.

They were all places that the victims were known to be gun free and, thus, easy targets.

This.
Nothing will change until we again become a moral society.
We continue in the opposite way though and these events are going to become more and more common

This is correct, but not in the way you intend. Riot and burn down buildings causing billions in damages over a career criminal, paying millions of dollars because another criminal cannot follow orders, a sitting president telling little kids it is okay to take whatever you want, sitting congress people advocating for violence against the opposing party, guys with peckers thinking they are female because they are mentally unstable...you are right, it is insanity, but it sure seems those are things condoned by the Democrats...insanity indeed

I have about 8 different guns. Surprisingly, none of them have killed anyone.

I know, Australia and the UK are really suffering with all those illegal guns killing people.

And Mexico

Yes, we've gotten much worse as a society, to the point where politicians fetishize guns by publishing pictures of their families showing off their assault rifles. We didn't have that stupidity in the 70s as well. If only there was some variable we could remove to solve this problem, the same as almost all advanced nations have done.

Hi, my name is 1904.

What do all this various shooters have in common?

They all, prior to their rampage, exhibited numerous behaviors that were major red flags indicating a potential for destructive behavior. Yet, authorities, families, and other involved parties ignored these indicators or dismissed them in the ultimate form of enabling.

As their stories come out we will see, yet again, that these shootings were all preventable had we, as a society, acted accordingly in dealing with mental health issues. An issue that is fixable. Sadly it is one that is pushed to the back burner because "gun fear porn" brings in so many more votes.
