Look, the fact that this happens so often on USA and not everywhere else shows that the problem is not exactly guns
and instead of trying to find out what's causing the problem
they want to ban the object the person used to commit the crime
it happens in other parts of the world. South America has the worst gun violence metrics in the world
I'm talking about mass shootings
and I hate to point this out, but if you look at the white population of the US they are in line with everyone else
not gun violence
I think the whole thing is just underhandedly racist in that it fails to address the issue
wtf are you talking about?
there's more deaths from black on black violence from guns than school shootings, but we fixate on school shootings because it's mostly white people doing them
dude
i'm talking about mass shootings
I know, but Hogg is talking about all of gun violence
i don't care about this race stuff
that whole event was about gun violence generally in the US
not just school shootings
this is useless for the point i was trying to make
i think the problem is alienation and things along along those lines, then someone did a shooting and the media highlighted them for weeks, and kept doing it over and over. Now the same kinds of people are thinking "hey that looks like a good way to make a statement and get back at everyone who i hate". the media romanticized it, and it became common. And now it's considered a "gun problem"
I'm not 100% but I believe nearly all youth mass shooters in the last couple decades have either been on psyciatric medication or prescribed them
i wouldn't be surprised
I told my best friend that I don't believe he should have the right to own his guns because he is on pills
he shouldn't tbh
@Deleted User
it probably does
and that's what i was saying before.
When they start to blame guns for it, they lose the opportunity to find out or at least even talk about what might be causing it
It’s because they, as in the politicians who support these kids, don’t actually care
They just see them as more votes.
I believe there are two separate issues facing youth populations that may in the end be related, but they are unique to class and race. I think it overwhelmingly has to do with a lack of father figure and/or sense of belonging
agreed
i guess it's more complicated than that
lack of family structure and community
in the most general sense I believe it is a masculinity issue
then we can look at mass shooters vs "street violence"
kids arent mature enough to navigate life on there own
and lack of good inner city education also plays a part.
and they end up in bad places mentally
without guidance
I unironically believe that rap music is a problem
as much as I enjoy it
when your value system is how intimidating you are and how much pussy that gets you
you're going to be motivated to be a shithead, I've seen it myself
