The reason gun control is such a thing is because THAT's the part of shootings that can be controlled. No one knows who is going to snap. You cannot follow every single person in America to see what they are going to do. Yes, mental health matters...but it is not easy to control or figure out. The depressed angry emo sitting in the back of class may never have ill intentions but a sweet on the outside person sitting in the front of class may have internal problems and suddenly snap.
Before we take away law abiding good citizens right to own any firearm they want, lets maybe roll back overmedicating the kdis? or teaching them to hate themselves? or letting them go trans, given they're the ones committing most school shootings lately. After all, anyone deranged enough to commit mass murder is likely going to find a way to get their hands on one, illegally, anyway, but then John Q. Law Abiding Citizen can't protect his.The reason gun control is such a thing is because THAT's the part of shootings that can be controlled. No one knows who is going to snap.

You can control high powered guns. You can stop people from owning military type weapons that no citizen has any business owning.
Maybe one thing is to punish the parents of teens/kids who harm others with guns or knives.
Why? So they can mass shoot people? You do not need it unless you plan on taking out a big group of people.Before we take away law abiding good citizens right to own any firearm they want, lets maybe roll back overmedicating the kdis? or teaching them to hate themselves? or letting them go trans, given they're the ones committing most school shootings lately.

And every citizen has every business owning any military style weapon.
//"We're going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs."\\
Yet. And I'm talking directly to you AlaCrimsonTide06. If you claim ignorance on what I'm about to say either you are being disingenuous or you haven't been paying attention...Why? So they can mass shoot people? You do not need it unless you plan on taking out a big group of people.
It seems a lot have...but were not followed up on or they were ignored.Yet. And I'm talking directly to you AlaCrimsonTide06. If you claim ignorance on what I'm about to say either you are being disingenuous or you haven't been paying attention...
How many times have these whacko mass shooters already been on the radar of the law?
That really would require making guns illegal. Period. And as the saying goes. When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.It seems a lot have...but were not followed up on or they were ignored.
The guy in California(elliot roger) had police at his door due to strange behavior but they did not conduct a search,. If they had, they would have found his guns....but if someone was suspected of smoking weed, swat teams would have converged..
There are several factors, police failings is one of them. I really dont know what the best path to take to stop it OTHER than gun control.
