Why dont people want to address the root problem which is WHAT drives a person like Ramos to pick up a weapon and kill children ? What caused a Black Supremacist domestic terrorist like Darrel E Brooks to run down all those people, children included , at the Christmas massacre in Waukesha? Dylan Roof shooting all those people IN CHURCH? On and on and on. Would stricter gun laws help? Maybe,...but I doubt it. They would simply use a knife, a car, a bomb like the Jihadists in Boston did, ect ect ect. The actual root cause is what needs to be addressed.

I already KNOW how I would address it and have spoken about it in detail. I want to know how the board LWers would address it. Im talking root cause here,...not guns. HOW do you guys address it?
 
Ill give you a hint. If a culture can slowly over time have its morals eroded to the point where it scantly resembles the old culture so can it be slowly over time be changed back.

Republicans have resisted every attempt to establish a universal health care system which provides mental health services.

Republicans also unanimously voted against Obamacare which mandated that insurance companies give coverage for mental health services.

Stop selling AR-15s to teenagers?
 
One thing that could be done.......UNPLUG.


The left LOVES the idea of pricing things out of the market as a way of modifying behavior. Ok fine,......lets have cable tv, internet access, and cell phone data use carry an astronomical cost to it. I actually HATE this sort of thing as a free market guy. Tell you what though. Wouldnt be long and we would have a much healthier and happier society.

that's correct.

they're actully torn now between how to numb us out with the 10,000 things and also make us value it and pay top dollar.

it's quite intractable, unless they can get chips in our brains.

don't get jabbed.

I agree it needs to be addressed, but it wont, there is no funding to address such a problem.
