Question

It’s very weird

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Very heavy bulling that is allowed by the schools because they don't want to deal Thanks to a mix of laws like No Child Left Behind. Also if you suspend a bully guess what the school loses money. The school covers up threats Pretty much every shooter was making threats beforehand was known to be making threats nothing happens it's pretty much the school's allowing it to happen because teachers are very lazy and pretty much are overpaid day care workers you don't do anything other than cry they should be paid more

Most "school shootings" are outside of school hours done by adults against other adults. They classify them as school shootings to inflate the numbers.
A real school shooting during school hours on campus involving students is actually extremely rare when compared to all the other violent crimes in the USA. Americans are naturally violent and USA many forms of violence all the time, most of which is not shootings.

Looking at the kid who did it, I'd say bullying. I know his pain. When I was in high school, when I was getting bullied the worst and the vice principal was pretty much being the bullies apologist, I had considered taking out that cunt and all those who wronged me. I didn't know where I would have gotten a gun, but I would I legitimately hated them. I ended up losing my nerve and forgetting about it.

I hate most of all how schools drag their feet on bullying. Like they only care when the ones being bullied retaliate then the bullies become the poor victims. And that's what kids who get bullied often think, that if that's how it is, they don't deserve to live because they are garbage humans.

So while I do not condone this kids actions, I can't blame him for getting enough nerve to go through with it.

Seems like it has been since columbine in 1999.

I've seen plenty enough school terrorists give those columbine shooters as their "inspiration". As sad as it is, some one just had to set the mold and then the rest followed.

Most of them are bullshit. The people in charge hire someone to go do that to scare us into giving up our guns or thinking they should all be taken away for the safety of everyone. Once they get all of our defenses, they can do ANYTHING THEY WANT to us!! I'm no gun lover but I DO support the right to carry for JUST THAT REASON!!

A lot of U. S. parents don't believe in spanking and disciplining their kids when they are a young youth, rather they spoil these kids with a bunch of food, toys and constant yeses to their demands.

In turn these kids grow up disillusion and extremely entitled and impulsive and prone to violent outbursts, and since guns in the states are easily available, they go out and commit disgusting acts on others.

It is a complicated problem that people will try to make everyone believe it can be cured by banning firearms.  Social media, bullying and apathy have more to do with this than firearms.

I don't think it's a cultural thing I think people are just screwed up and they may not shoot people in other countries but they stab or beat people to death I think I'd rather be shot

NRA and gun rights enthusiasts, thinking it's ok to go and shoot people whats funny is, those same people, tend to be "christian"

It's not or it shouldn't be. I think it's a symptom of people (mostly men and boys) becoming nihilistic and having a certain hatred for the world.

ForestPark · Answer

Kids in the US have no discipline or respect for parents and teachers. School shootings are a symptom of a larger problem.

DWornock · Answer

They are not. Most are false flag operations to gain support for gun control.

OddBeMe · Answer

Guns are written into our constitution. So it’s harder to regulate them. As much as we want to…

SmokinAces2000 · Answer

Because guns are easy to find for dumbasses to shoot people

When something happens enough times to the point where people don't care anymore, it kinda becomes part of the society we live in.
