More guns = more mass shootings (according to the Daily Mail)

[Gman106]

The Daily Mail has done an "in-depth investigation" into why there's increasing gun violence and mass shootings and concluded it's because there are too many guns out there. I'm happy to entertain the idea as I'm an open-minded person, but the US has always had lots of guns out there so this leads me to believe it's a wrong conclusion and the answer lies in some form of societal pathology. So, who's been unraveling society for the past 50 years - removing religion from public life, destruction the nuclear family, ending marriage between a man and a woman, the transgender insanity, canceling people and suppressing free speech? I think the answer is in there somewhere...

Looking at the facts, it's hard to deny that more leftists equals more mass killers.

I would agree with everything mentioned Gman, and I would also add that 'helicopter and lawnmower parents' are raising kids and not teaching them to deal with adversity.

People need to learn that you don't always get a trophy, you don't always get your way, and that by dealing with adversity, you can become a better, stronger person. People need to learn how to deal with their difficulties, and that big pharma isn't the solution to your problems.

Ah yes, the psychotropic drugs every other kid is on these days. Altered brain chemistry. How did I miss that?

Agree but the Trophy genie isn*t going back in the bottle

It's not the guns.
3 or 4 pickup trucks decked out like this could be found in our high school parking lot any day in the Fall.
It's not the guns.

Once again try blaming the guns. There's no logic there just a bunch of twisted stats of a very questionable conculsion. Like shown before gun racks were pretty much everywhere we rode around with guys in the back of the trucks with (gasp) guns going from one deer drive to another nobody even looked at you. So the answer must lie in whats changed? reread g mans post especially the last few sentences. The country has lost direction due to these people and their ideas. As long as all this continues nothing will change. Taking away guns from most people will do nothing. Try enforcing the laws that are already on the books. Criminals with guns go to jail. People with mental issues shouldn't have a gun and the rest of us, LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE
