21 people now dead in Texas, what the hell do we have to do to stop shit like this? Can we even stop stuff like this?

Question

Texas Rangers also say he shot his grandma before going on the rampage

joesheks · Accepted Answer

Because it’s so mentally healthy to be in an overcrowded, diverse, multicultural cesspool that stands for nothing. And calling these things out will get you cancelled.

People always look at the what instead of the whi. Who is doing this? Who planted communism feminism, racism, and every other isn’t as a means to destroy? Who tells us diversity is a strength and that white privilege explains why the Europeans that founded the US are more prosperous than most groups? Who tells us that abortion is OK and that dads are optional? Who tells us that drugs and violence are terrible as they benefit from their import and use?

Who tells us that whites are racist even though 40% voted for Obama but blacks are not racist when they voted 96% for Obama? Who tells us that transsexuality is normal but heterosexual nuclear families are outdated?

These same people love America 2022 and hate America 1950. But to be completely honest, who is their right mind would choose the former over the latter? In which America were people happier with lower crime and virtually no mass shootings? Yes, certain groups were prevented from hurting themselves so they were restricted in what they could do — and yet our great American cities were not the ghettos that they are today. Ever wonder why European cities have a fraction of the crime of American cities?

These questions and more are why we won’t serious put a dent in the school shootings. No one is really serious about it.

People are going to blame guns

There are millions of us that have guns and we don't go out and do that it is a mental health problem it starts at the home with the family if you are a parent and if you cannot take the time to quit making life about you and make it about your kids and teach them who to be in this world instead of antagonizing them instead of yelling screaming
Parents need to take an inventory of themselves if you're making it all about yourself all the fucking time do this one take it inventory of Who You Are and be 100% honest I mean really truthfully honest are you mentally physically fucking up your kids are you an asshole do you make life all about yourself because if you are any of the above you need to get your kids help right fucking now there's no reason for kids to go out and do this shit get them off the video games of killing each other start loving your children instead of fucking hating on them and yelling and screaming because they're interfering in your life fuck you if your kids do something like this you need to go to prison abusing your children for not teaching them how to be better than you look how many lives have been taken from them just because parents do not have enough common sense to make their children feel like they're wanted that they are loved parents need to start paying the price if your kid does something like this

The USA is designed more for reactionary than prevention when it comes to crime. The SCOTUS has even ruled, police have no legal obligation to protect anyone. That is our own jobs, the police's job is to investigate after and bring the criminal to justice.

You can't stop crime, you can only punish it.

Even if guns are outlawed, criminals can make their own, I'd imagine by now someone could even 3d print one. Then at that point only a criminal would have a gun.

If someone is determined to kill, they'll use whatever tools they have.

Need to stop focusing on the tool and focus on the cause.

That's dangerous. Over here if the teacher gets one complain of a student hitting other student then they are doomed. Sometimes I feel lucky to study in a secure place (compared to situations like this).

Anonymous · Answer

There is an enormous crisis of miss-education and neglect of boys in this country going on since the 90's. Frankly it has a lot to do with the change in education practices and cultural rules since that time which have causes boy's to subsequently drop out of the market of life and fall far behind girls.

This leads to a large number of isolated and disaffected men a few of which become nutcases and do terrible things. This is not a recipe for peace and tranquility in any country or time in history.

Biology makes men naturally aggressive and dangerous, neglecting them with opportunities and pre-occupation just means a lot of them are going to get into very dangerous areas.

Given theses changes were done originally to "Close the gender gap" with girls, the most logical thing to do is separate schools for boys and girls. So that boy schools can go back to the old way of competitive based learning that works best for the biology of men, while girls can continue down the current path.

TonyV · Answer

What do you want? Schools are already a "gun free zone", weird how that little sign on the wall stops good guys but not bad.

How often this happens they should do something, so. e schools have metal detectors, why not all? Seems the school put to much fate on that little sign.
I don't know anything about this kids apperently bad life or how he got the gun, but I'd geuss from a garden who wasn't keeping an eye on the kid or their own guns.
I kind of blame the kid too, I grew up around guns, I never thought about stealing a gun and trying to take it to school, maybe kids were eager to him than me but they weren't exactly nice to me, I got bullied and called fat, even had racist shit yelled at me on the bus in highschool, but instead of shot the kids I just decided to never get on the school bus again.
But I geuss you could argue his decision was also a result of bad parenting.

AviatorTom · Answer

The US has 200+ years of gun ownership, which means there are thousands (millions?) of guns out there, so nothing can be done to eliminate guns. The ultimate solution is improved security. There is improved security at concerts and sporting events. Let's improve security at schools. Do these things at least:

1. Have only one (1) entrance to the school that's open (via electronic lock controlled from a desk inside the building), typically the main entrance. All other entrances should be locked from the outside, and can be opened from the inside (in case of emergency exit, like a fire)
2. Have someone monitor the main entrance after students enter the building, and require any others to identify themselves and why they require entrance. That person is the only person who can open the electronic lock on the door.
3. Have an armed guard at the main entrance, properly trained to deal with any incidents.

EyeKnowMeNahYou · Answer

We have to properly screen individuals for guns and body armor but also we have to make sure that as parents that none of this stuff is accessible but also you have to pay attention to your kids because it's always the same Mo somebody is bullying someone is picking someone is making someone feel less than and people don't have the mental capacity or the mental health to deal with it properly therefore they go berserk and then we all are left and tragedy in all and scared that's something we may or may not have prevented even with the slightest bit more effort

OldWorldOrder · Answer

You can't stop it. There are more guns than people here, and that's never gonna change. Maybe if we used the military we could defend schools and places of worship, but our own stupid laws prevent solutions like this.

In the long term, the American Empire simply needs to be broken up. We can't properly police or govern all 350 million of us with one government.

We also need to start throwing people back into asylums and sterilizing mentally defective people.

Our 1st world ideologies are preventing us from properly governing this 3rd world country.

youreanidiot2 · Answer

Modern industrialized countries with gun control have virtually no mass/school shootings, so gee, I don't know, maybe gun control actually works.

Agape93 · Answer

You can't stop it. Even if you remove all guns magically, it won't stop. Acid attacks, bombings, stabbings, car ramming etc.

There are many ways to get multiple people in a relatively short period of time.

Tyrael · Answer

It's too easy to say gun control, although there's plenty of evidence to support the fact that it works. Take the UK and Australia as examples.

Instead I think it would be more beneficial for the US to provide state healthcare like the UK or Canada does, that way people with mental health problems might get the treatment they need. That would go a long way to preventing these situations I think.

meetkitty123 · Answer

At times like this the worst I feel we can do is discuss the fool. They do not deserve the attention.
Right now our focus should be on remembering the many innocent victims and their families.
They need support and prayers

LikeALog · Answer

We have mentally ill people that are not being properly identified. That's the issue no one wants to correct. It's easier to blame the gun.
The other issue is these mentally ill people refuse to recognize that schools are gun free zones. Or maybe they do know that and have no fear of being stopped by armed guards and others.

KingofCups · Answer

People are getting shot up because the United States has serious mental health problems. Young people are going through all if this virtual, digital, bullshit and aren't making real friends or connections anymore. Without social and emotional intelligence people lose empathy and go on mass murders.

Not to mention young people joining the workforce now are going through a record period of inflation and minimum wage isn't even anywhere near livable. I'm in Florida, working two jobs, 40+ hours week and I barely manage 2K/month. People are upset and the media doesn't care, the government doesn't care. People are lonely and need real physical connections. Unfortunately the only thing that matters in America is the bottom line, your net worth.

globetrotter22 · Answer

This is very complex and I am sick of people jumping to quick conclusions about just “banning guns” vs “mental health” vs “violent video games” etc. It’s never that simple.

Honestly this is something the right and left need to seriously come to the center on. Instead they have drifting further apart and getting more incalcitrant on their views.

KelleyNice · Answer

How does 21 people come close to comparing to the half million Iraqi children we murdered?

GlassTop · Answer

Well the media could stop glorifying and politicizing it. That would stop copycats. They could also stop giving out the killers name and putting their pictures. Maybe there should be security with weapons? FBI could do a better job finding killers earlier. Parents and other adults should notice signs of mental illness or harmful intent earlier and report it.

questiongirl567 · Answer

Oh my god I am tired of people saying there is nothing we can do. Seriously, just pass stricter gun laws make background checks universal make it harder to get guns. It’s not rocket science. New Zealand, Canada Australia, Switzerland and many other countries immediately implemented gun laws after their shootings and guess what? They hardly have any shootings anymore

OlderAndWiser · Answer

There should be zero tolerance of bullying at schools, teachers should be encouraged to report misfit kids for abberant behavior, and innocent kid should be protected. Teachers should be allowed to carry firearms if they choose to do so, and each school should have armed resource officers. School shooters should not be given attention by the media and those that survive the carnage should be subjected to public ridicule.

JustinTheGreat · Answer

I can’t believe there are still people who think the easy access to guns in this country has nothing to do with the shootings…
This is the only country where we have more guns than people. The country with the second highest amount of guns still only has half what we have.
We also have more shootings in one year than every other country combined…y’all don’t think there’s a connection between that? You don’t see the math mathing there? How dense can y’all be

DaveToo · Answer

Unless and until we vote out those who would protect the gun manufacturers this will continue. Murder and mayhem don't seem to offset the money the NRA and the gun manufacturers keep pouring into the legislators and senators who make the decision whether to actually do something about this horrible pandemic. We cry about those that died because of Covid, but we wring our hands at yet another mass murder, particularly now with more children.

It is a societal problem…. not a gun problem. There is a A lack of respect for people, life.

Schools should have cameras and doors locked at all times. I think raising the age for owning guns to 21 years old and having stricter background check where it asks if your on medication and what mental issues you have.
