Mass shootings = symptoms of a much worse problem

https://www.npr.org/2019/08/13/750656174/the-u-s-once-had-a-ban-on-assault-weapons-why-did-it-expire


Yes. Twenty five years ago, when Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Congress passed the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act — commonly called the assault weapons ban.

It prohibited the manufacture or sale for civilian use of certain semi-automatic weapons. The act also banned magazines that could accommodate 10 rounds or more.

Stop lying :palm:

Brandon's "assault weapon" ban began in 1994.

Columbine happened in 1999 while they were banned.
:palm:

About 99% of firearm murders are committed with handguns.


Speaking of Columbine, it has been suggested that the murderers were inspired by the Lib Hollywood 1988 movie, "Heathers".
 
There's a lot out there on this topic but this article resonated with me (and it could be confirmation bias because it makes sense to me)



Is there a valid psychosocial explanation for school shootings?

There is no single answer to the cause of mass school shootings, but it goes much deeper and further than issues of gun control and mental illness

It doesn't explain why Black kids are immune (and most Hispanics). Is it because Blacks are the most Christian demographic (79%) in America? Hispanic whites, second at 77%.

Or why other "loners", there are plenty of them, don't commit mass murder.

In fact, I was watching a Docu the other day. It postulated that people, like terrorists for example, are more likely to commit suicide for the benefit of a group they feel they "belong" to, than for acquaintances.

One experiment was performed with a group of cheerleaders divided into "We" and "I" categories. They got the same results, about 90% of the We group were willing to commit suicide to "save" lives of the group, while only 30% of the "I" group were willing.

Jamaica is one of the most violent countries in the Caribbean. In 2022, there were approximately 52.9 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in the island nation. This was highest homicide rate in Latin America and the Caribbean that year.Mar 6, 2023

Jamaica has 8.8 guns per 100 citizens.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country

The U.S. has 1100% more guns (120.5) per 100 citizens, and a murder rate of 7.8 per 100k

The proper comparison is with other developed countries, in Europe, that share are our cultural roots. Among those we have the highest homicide rate of all. And we have made the shooting of school children our nearly unique
contribution to the death toll.

The Colorado Springs shooter identified as non binary.

The Denver shooter identified as trans.

The Aberdeen shooter identified as trans.

The Nashville shooter identified as trans.

One thing is VERY clear: the modern trans movement is radicalizing activists into terrorists.

Poor Marty.

What specific "cultural roots" are you referring to? Which countries specifically are you referring to?

More irrelevance from my shadow. That post was up for about thirty seconds before dumbo fell all over it.

You are such a soft target, Marty.

The trans fringe wants the manifesto of this freak to be censored.

What are they hiding?

Release the manifesto, they did in the Buffalo shootings...within 24 hours.

You bet. You've got a government packed with self-styled ' Christian ' assholes who believe in the ' second coming ' of the son of a fictional deity to raise them all up to a fictional heaven - an event dependent upon Jews slaughtering the Palestinians . With insanity of this magnitude in government it's a short walk to believing in a cult of devil-worship which entails its adherents sacrificing as many innocent schoolchildren to Beelzebub as possible before getting terminated by cops and descending into Hades to sit on the right side of the Fallen Asshole.

You think THAT'S insane. I guess that the reality is a lot crazier than that.
 
Countries commonly identified as "developed", embracing Western culture. Look it up if you want a list.

No you made a claim. Tell us what is this "western culture" these developed countries embrace? What is this culture? What did you mean when you typed it?
