Is it possible that most the reason most school shootings happen in the south due to the fact that hunting is so normalized there?

I mean, fathers have their sons shooting deer and other animals in the head. Farmers kill their animals as well as wildlife that interferes with crops and such. It's normalized sociopathy it seems to me.

I think it is because there is a culture of bullying that is more prevlent in the south. These kids are bullied and eventually see no other way out besides getting a piece and going back to school and take out as many of his tormentors as possible. Its too bad there is collateral damage.

Been hunting and killing animals since I was 8... still think murder of a human is wrong.

[Deserter3]

Yes, but wouldn't you say it's easier to make the leap if you already casually kill animals?

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

I see little to no correlation between the two. Especially considering the millions of hunters in the U. S. It has to be an EXTREMELY small percentage.

[Deserter3]

You see no correlation between killing a living thing and being ok with killing another living thing?

Literal murderers usually start with torturing and killing animals.

15.2M licences sold
408 mass shootings
0.0000268%
It's a reach.

[Deserter3]

15.2m are hunting animals?

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

15.2m - 15.6m hunting licenses are sold annually in the U. S.

[Deserter3]

That's not what I asked

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

What else would it mean?

[LazerBean]

I doubt it, most School shooters are fatherless boys so they are unlikely to even come from hunting households.

[MasterKS]

@LazerBean kudos.

[itss_lily]

not sure. i think it's bc they are more pro-gun and more likely to oppose gun control

[DonaldDarko]

Hunting wouldn't make you crazy just a good shot.

Didn't realize that was true? 🤷‍♂️
