There were two mass shootings in the U.S. in the past two days alone. One yesterday at the University of Nevada and one on Dec 5th in Texas. Of course the shooters accomplished just what they had hoped, changing the world to fit their preferences, getting rid of all those who ever annoyed them, and making the world a much better place for people like themselves. Right?..um, Right??
While individual is personally responsible for their crimes, let’s not pretend like this shit is coming from no where.
We have a sick society and these shootings is just the result of the social policies the corpo state has been running over the last two generations.
Schools are ran like prisons and bullying is part of the curriculum, then fake news does pikachu face when shootings happen. tHeY MeNTaLlY iLl, iT Is GuNs FaUlT
But never: why would a young person do this and why do we have so many young people doing it…
We have a situation where in one country bulling in schools and other things mentioned in the post are significantly worse (in Russia) and yet school shootings are essentially non-existent.
Exactly. You need both terrible conditions AND easy access to guns to have what’s going on in America.
Finland has easy access to guns in the form of being able to keep your rifle after your conscription ends. But it doesn’t have the social problems America has, not even close. Finland also does not have near-daily mass shootings.
I do not think though you can blame this on “bullying in schools” or “corporate culture” whatever it means. I think it is related to gun culture, failure of medical system to treat people with mental issues and prevent access to guns for such people. Generally easy gun access is part of the picture too. The Finland example is interesting but they arguably do not have US-type-of-easy access to guns nor the same gun culture and gun ownership is still much lower than in US.

And why would people let these kids have guns….
They took it from a parent, majority of the time.
And how could we limit the supply and ability of children to acquire these legal weapons?
Execute parents who fuck up… a few examples should fix it pretty quick.
If you think that any of those things are better in Russia, you are mistaken.
True, but mixing that with ridiculously easy access to guns is one hell of a concoction.
So, put the blame where it is then.
…both?
