Mental health is the real issue. Most of these perpetrators were known to authorities and nothing was done . There are no longer the facilities to hold and treat mental patients since the mass closings in the 80s. They mostly end up in jail . 21% of inmates now have mental disorders. Up from 7% in the 70s . Blaming guns is more convenient and cheaper then dealing with the real problem of mental health in the US.
Remind me again, who cut funding and closed those mental facilities? I think it was the same guy who turned his back on those with AIDS and brought us supply side economics which began the transfer of $19T in wealth for the bottom 90% to the top 1%

Yes mental health is PART of the problem...sane people don't shoot each other. BUT the ease at which the mentally ill AND SANE can obtain weapons and arms that have nonpurpose other than killing as many as possible without pause makes the whole argument pointless. Unless you are actively fighting in a war (for which you went through extensive military training) there is no reason to possess such weaponry. One might be able to argue the mere belief that you need such weapons is a sign of deep mental issues. Shouldn't the inalienable right to LIFE liberty and pursuit of happiness trump (pardon the use of that phrase) the rights a "well regulated militia" to bear arms?

Reading about how the cops stood outside for 40 minutes and did nothing but hold back parents from going into the school is... I don't even know the right word honestly. I feel horrible for everyone involved that's not part of the failed law enforcement effort to do the job they get paid for.

Oh, certain groups are already screaming false flag. Talking about, how did he afford the vehicle and guns? The thread on one message board I saw regarding the incident was titled 'they are coming for your guns'. Not sorrow for the dead kids or reverence for those that are living this tragedy, immediate fear mongering that they might not be able to make up for the fact they are cowards by arming themselves to the teeth with military weapons. It's quite disgusting.

Feeling incredibly lost, and seeing talking points on "One Entry Door" is just wrecking me. We're all just rolling the dice daily.

And you can’t buy Sudafed anymore because someone might make meth.

I actually don’t know that this is still true, but in TN they used to keep it under lock n key and you needed to provide ID/phone # to buy. Guns were in with the candy bars.
just a foil for me today, thanks

Oh I'm sorry, I said they "did nothing". Apparently the local law enforcement WERE going in to the school while the shooter was active, but it was to save their own children. This officer is asked that question directly about halfway through:

Kinda surprised that fucktard X hasn’t returned with the Russia invasion. His love of mother Russia ran deep. I’m sure he would parrot the Kremlin talking points.
