Haven't read all of this so maybe it was said but maybe we should all adopt the strict gun laws that Chicago has. Seems to be working there?
We need to find the root cause and fix that. The root cause isn't guns. Isn't social media, etc. These kids today have been brought up to not have any responsibility or accountability for anything. Everyone has a label that has given them a 'get out of jail free' card in life. These kids are being taught to do as they wish. Dress as they wish, use the restroom they wish because we are all free thinkers and all equal. Then these same people that say this then add labels. Want to identify as the opposite sex? Ok. Then they ask to be labeled, which makes them stand out as a different group but then they complain about being labeled. I could imagine this could cause psychological issues.
Additionally, with kids being given special treatment growing up they never learn how to deal with adversity. My wife has students with an IEP where their test are given 1 on 1 and are multiple choice and only 2 answers are left. Some are even given 2 chances to get the right answer with only 2 options. Wife said about 80% of the students in her school have some type of IEP and only about 10-20% actually should have one. Her friends son was the same way. Mother never had a job and grandma paid for everything. The son was the same way. Didn't want to do homework and the mother didn't want to enforce it so she went and got an IEP saying he didn't have to do any homework. How are these kids going to deal with the real world where you have to figure things out on your own?
We need to end this special treatment and let these kids start figuring things out for themselves again and work through it.
When I was in high school I'd say there were always at least 10-20 student vehicles in the parking lot with a gun in them. Some were visible in the back window. We never had issues but this was in the 80's when kids were still held accountable.
That's my opinion on what the problem is. Some might not agree. But trust me, I was bullied more than my share growing up and I never thought about killing anyone. I was always held accountable, got grounded, got detention, etc. I learned there were consequences to not following the rules and took that into adulthood with me.
Sorry for the long rant but these sad situations always turn to the 2nd amendment and that isn't the root cause. that alone tells you these politicians only care about the political side of it. As bad as they are they are smart enough to know (or have smart enough people around them) to understand root cause analysis and in no way would guns ever show up as the result at the end.
Oh, and just cause there was one shooting in a pro-gun population doesn't mean pro gun doesn't work. In fact, the shooter was stopped by someone with a gun. Just unfortunate that he wasn't stopped sooner.
