    Default Why are the majority of mass shooters

    Aggrieved white males with mental health issues?

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    I don't know, G.

    But this is who and what we are.
    Why is it so hard to accept the obvious?

    The entire world sees Americans as the people with guns who routinely shoot one another.
    We have a few people among our own who find this repugnant,
    and they speak up a lot to sound as if they are greater in number than they are.

    Most of us, however, are armed killers by nature and spend our lives suppressing it if we can.
    The ones who aren't by nature are trained by the government to become such whenever we decide to have a military draft
    as was the case when I was young.

    If people are born in a shooting gallery, the ones who get to grow up at all grow up to be shooters.
    Some people have problems accepting the truth about themselves, especially where it comes to being born an armed and dangerous American.
    I've learned to live with it.
    Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
    Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
    Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969

    Another millennial. What the hell do they teach these kids in school, or don't teach them?
    When I was that age, I could buy any gun I wanted without a background check and none
    of this shit was happening. We took guns to school and left them in unlocked cars and they
    were legally ours, we knew better than to shoot people. What has changed?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Actually, RB here meets the profile nearly exactly. Maybe RB can explain to us where the anger comes from?

    Cruz had severe psychological problems, and had just become an orphan. He was semi-homeless. His social accounts were full of support of trump, and threats to harm others.

    Somehow I doubt that "everything was cool" back in your day, but it does seem to be getting worse.
