  • It's cultural problem. I don't know the legislation so maybe they could improve it. Have you been in Switzerland? They have a shitload of guns there because they have mandatory military service and every guy has to buy their own one. How many mass shootings are there?

    At the end of the day gun laws are only going to worsen the problem. How many guns are already in circulation? They are willingly losing the tracks of thousands of guns only to appease the mobs. What's going to happen to all the people that loses their job by reaction? It's a really big industry. All that people without jobs=more marginality=more gun crime.

    The solution is to help these people. A lot of them have traumas and mental illnesses. The polarizing situation doesen't help either. Pull your shit together and this should not happen.

    • Assault weapons, which are the ones used in mass shootings, are banned in Switzerland.

      Switzerland also has much stricter regulations about open-carrying.

      It has been repeatedly confirmed that people with mental illness are more likely to be victims of violence rather than perpetrators.

      There are higher rates of mental illness in people of color, yet most mass shooters are white.

      Depending on the study, women either have higher or equal rates of mental illness as men, yet nearly all mass shooters are men.

      Mental illness is complex and diverse, and most have little to no correlation to violent behavior. Grouping together disorders with no relation to each other serves for an empty statement. Even if mental illness was the cause of these problems, there will never be a way to stop undiagnosed people or people who have yet to develop a disorder from buying guns. Can we eliminate mental illness? Almost certainly not. Can we 100% of the time know who is going to be a mass shooter? Unlikely. Could people shoot others if they didn't have guns? No.

      You cannot conveniently ignore factors which do not fit your narrative.

          • A huge-ass set of shuriken knives and some good training.

          • One fired from a big air gun, or dropped from a hot air balloon, or fitted to a remote control goody. Or find the place where this happened.

      • -Assault weapons are banned in the USA(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Assault_Weapons_Ban)
        -It looks like a lot of mass shooters have mental illnesses. I don't know tho because i don't have any numbers about that. The important thing is that most of them are fucked in the head. There's also Asians and mixed in there.
        -Women don't have testosterone, which makes them less aggressive. It could also be a cultural thing. Or just maybe societies aren't as harsh to mentally handicapped women. Being speculative there.
        -I not against stricter regulations
        A theme i haven't touched in other posts is how USA has a real problem with terrorism. All these kids are no different of an Al-Qaeda sleeping cell. You would consider that a mental illness? It's just retribution for some of them.

        • As it states on the Wikipedia page you linked me to, that ban expired on September 13, 2004.

          Women do have testosterone, congrats on failing highschool biology.

          I'm not going to respond the the rest because you are obviously a troll, there is no way anyone could be this stupid.

          • Why so aggressive? What you are doing in a discussion site if you don't want to discuss? I swear I'm not trolling (at least not all the time lol). You were right about the first one. I was too quick about that one. The second one was figurative speech. Woman have testosterone and man estrogen. We also have plutonium in our bodies but we aren't poisoned.

            Look I'm here to learn. It was complicated to escape of all the eco chambers and all of that shait just to face people that only want to insult and virtue signalling. So sorry if I've come with that tone or if I seemed malicious.
