It never will, not as long as the NRA owns the Republicans, and they control the government. From one mass shooting to another, and another, the only thing the GOP ever does is offer "thoughts and prayers", as if that makes it all okay. Fucking pussies!This shit need to fucking stop!
I wish I knew. I think part of it is the first-person shooter craze, with socially maladjusted kids spending every waking hour they're not at school playing FPS video games, and part of it is copycats seeing all the attention school shootings get on the news and want their own 15 minutes of fame. But I really don't know for sure.Gunstuff aside for a moment, WTF is wrong with kids?
We used to just settle our differences by duking it out, not shooting a bunch of random people.

Well, I -mostly- agree. Guns don't belong out unless you are using them, but they are useful for killing other things, not just people. And rural areas, they are still useful tools [but they tend to use long arms, not pistols].If you (general) accept the use of firearms to the general public, you accept the (ab)use of them as well.
Guns are no conversation piece that lies on the coffee table for that purpose. They are made and used to kill people. And don't come with that target practice and self defense baloney.
Everyone who owns or justifies that others own them, accepts that these kind of dramas will happen a lot more than in countries where firearm posession is forbidden for the general public.
It's....iffy. To a point, I don't think younger children can really be expected to understand "the sanctity of life" the way an adult does (or, well, should). Although I guess that's not really the problem here, as this guy was 18. But still.General loss of the concept of "sanctity of life" because society is just fuckity-poo in general.
Even if I HATED someone, I didn't want them dead.

Even tho globalization has slowly taken over and it's increasingly hard to do things without getting help from another country or fellow man...General loss of the concept of "sanctity of life" because society is just fuckity-poo in general.
