An opinion from a outsider, you guys are still debating about the symptoms but not the route of the problem itself. There were shitloads of vietnam or other war veterans with plenty of combat experience and PTSD returning home in the past. They didn't go around shooting people. Almost everyone in Swiss has got a weapon, yet there are no mass shootings.
The real problem is that the current US society is failing at integrating males. They often get isolated, job opportunities are worse, the pay is worse, living cost is too high. As a male, no matter what the media or lefties say, if you don't earn or contribute to the society you live in, nobody gives a damn about you.

As to the reasons why that's the case, you as Americans should know better than me.

Last but not least, it's crazy for me that he is still roaming free!


I agree that this is a major contributor.

so the shooter can have a backup gun after he shoots you in the back? good thinking...

isn't it crazy how millions of people carrying firearms for "safety" somehow makes the country as a whole less safe? it's almost like the "logic" behind it is somehow flawed...


Name a single event where this happened.

religion exists for a reason yet you're too blind to see it.


Hi Elite, can I ask you what church you belong to? I know that you are Protestant but you know how there are many different denominations within this group.

2 open jobs for every unemployed person
You can be a chipotle entry worker for $22 an hour
McDonald’s manager for 25/hour
Work at Starbucks down the street for 20+ an hour and union benefits

Idk. People like to feel sorry for themselves a lot but the job market currently is fairly forgiving

yes if you count events where zero people were killed and 'mass shootings' where only one person was shot and 3 people were injured by a car

very honest and reliable methodology that definitely represents what people think when you say 'mass shooting'

and he was allowed to legally buy one of the guns he used after his stint in the ward, absolutely bonkers there isnt a system in place to prevent this kind of thing



He is some sort of fireworks expert in the military. He obviously had a lot of guns. I refer you to my previous posts about how horrible scumbags lie about these situations to push for more policies that by literally every metric, do not do anything to solve the problem.

Oh, and if the shoe fits.
