Honest question. @Budzbuddha , what do you think would be the best approach to curbing these kinds of events? From my observations, it seems like all of these mass shootings started really accelerating right about the time Social Media caught on, and First Person shooter games came around.

As a gun owner myself , I believe statistically those 18 or under should not have access to weapons purchased or otherwise.
‘Obviously their mental disipline is not there. Social media plays a big part also - numerous IG / Facebook streams / Tik Tok provide youth to
showboat weapons / thefts and other “ instant fame “. I would think an AR should be handled with seriousness , and it is not a coincidence that is is favored for multiple round capabilities. Most of the shooters feel slighted by school or peers and only see red.

Since 1999, seven in 10 school shootings have been carried out by people under the age of 18, when counting cases where the shooter’s age was recorded, The Washington Post reported. The median age of school shooters is 16. I am not saying there not families that have good weapon discipline and carry that over to their family members but there are those that have access to “ street weapons “ illegally. Neighbor had guns stolen , so more than likely will be used in a crime or 2.

Most youth assume they can pull a gun on you , rob you of your shit and that’s that because they are juveniles.
That doesn’t work with me …. You pull , I pull.
Regardless if it’s a pizza face kid. A lot of murders happen from youngsters.

I remember back in school I could get a .38 in a bag for $50 bucks. Brass knuckles , zip guns , sawed offs , stilettos , even stupid nunchucks were a common sight on and off campus.

I agree with all of that. I suppose when you say thier "mental discipline", is that they come from troubled homes, spend countless hours playing Call of Duty.. or whatever. But how do you stop that? It's not like families are gonna always stay together like the good ol' American dream with a white picket fence, and mom serving up chicken pot pie on a Sunday afternoon, or that Social Media is going to go away... matter of fact, it seems like new trends come along every year.... tick tock, or whatever the latest and greatest is. It's like this "genie out of the bottle" kinda thing. Im not against banning high capacity mags. It really doesn't matter if they do or don't. You can buy 10 round clips all day long on the internet. It's just like there is no real answer to stop the madness without infringing on consumer rights to buy video games, have latchkey kids that have alot of time on thier hands because mom, or mom and dad are working.

IKD man... I've thought about it long and hard, and can't seem to figure out what would really work to stop these horrible events. I'd say that (depending on location), private gun sales account for about 30% of all guns sales. They are all under the radar. But, then again, that's your right to sell a gun privately. Even if you stopped all gun sales right now, it's still gonna happen. Tough subject.... and I have no solutions or answers. Just thought I'd see if anybody has some input on the subject.

Im glad I had my weapon with me and Paige on a recent road trip. We stopped at a store so she could take a piss. The youth next car over was cat calling her, and right at my window saying "Look at you whitey, in your white car with your white wife", "I see that Glock handle".... It's like this youngster wasn't afraid of anything, and obviously on some serious drugs, but I had my finger on the trigger right behind my door in case he tried something stupid. He finally got distracted enough that when she came out of the store, he didn't see her... I just told her "get in".
I wasn't about to provoke this guy, because for one, I didn't want to have to do something I didn't HAVE to, and 2, I didn't want to have to go 2 States over for "murder trial". I just kept my cool and looked straight ahead the whole time he was running his mouth.

For over a hundred years, appellate courts have ruled that the right enumerated in the Second Amendment is not absolute.

The only ones who think so are “originalists”, people who hold the untenable belief that the Constitution should be implemented as its framers intended 230 years ago, as if the profound changes in society and technology are beside the point. The analogy to hardline fundamentalists (whose read of scripture is corrupt. Scripture contains NONE of the sexual and reproductive barbarities being preached by the toxics.) is complete.

What the news of the last years has shown us is a tight correlation between an aggressive 2A stance and blatantly fascist pseudomilitia such as the Proud Boys. The other common feature is a disregard of the fact that defensive uses of a firearm are about 5% of the incidence of deliberate or accidental nondefense injury or death by gun. This does not count successful or attempted suicide by gun, which is again about as much as nondefense gun violence.

Thus the answer is plain: stop selling guns to people, with constrained exceptions. I also hold the opinion that gun laws that apply to civilians should apply to all civilians, especially the uniformed ones. Law enforcement exemptions to civilian gun law perpetuate a Rambo culture among cops. Let’em be equal before the law.

And do away with the tragicomedy of states’ control over gun laws. “States’ rights” is tge battle cry of Repugs, dominionists and others of a totalibertarian mindset.
Apply a uniform Federal standard, vetted by a Scotus recovered from the current Maganoma, so that the same law holds in Cheyenne as in Boston.

The only ones who cannot accept this idea are brownshirts, libertarians and other dangerous misfits. They can collectively go take a flying


fish.

Think about it … social media is the catalyst , there a kid can find peer fame or share their stress to hundreds , if not thousands.
Social media has poisoned everything - politics / sexuality / religion ‘ social standing etc. I played COD and other first person shooters , watched faces of death vids , lurked Bestgore and other weird sites , listened to death metal ( plants love Cannibal Corpse )
:weed:

But never thought about becoming a serial killer. However , everyone has their trigger point ( no pun ) . Social Media has impacted mental health all across the board. Seen vids of online suicides / shooting POV’S / even so-called SNUFF vids. Humans are fucking animals.

Yes …. Animals.

What other species would kill you for your limited edition Jordans. ?
I don’t believe in Juvy Jail - if it is an ADULT crime , you get the full jail treatment.

Strangely - I am watching a YT video about some 11 year old that cut the throat of her classmate believing she was betrayed. “Best friend “ no less.
She threatened a boy online with a box cutter and threatened to kill him too.

Wow... Yeah, I agree that Social Media has really played a big part in all of this. Online bullying, SM "challenges", etc. It's easy to be a keyboard warrior. They (the youth) simply don't have the proper personal interaction we had when we were kids just riding our bikes and being told to be home by the time the street lights came on. Now, kids don't want to even leave the house, or thier iPhones. Thier acceptance seems to be totally digital.

My plants like the symphonies of Sir Arnold Bax. They distinctly prefer the LSO/Bryden Thompson edition to BBC Symphony Orchestra/Vernon Handley, and I don’t blame’m.
