My solution to preventing mass shootings

The best way to prevent mass shooting is as follows:

Killing the shooter immediately if you can securely prove it was them. If they screwed up this bad then you don't owe them a goodbye to their family. Sometimes it is so obvious who did it that it would actually be bad to give them a trial because it would by delaying justice.

Then dispose of their remains in an undisclosed location. If the shooter killed themselves beforehand still do this. Cruel and unusual punishments need be brought back for cases such as this. The United states is just set up for failure by allowing these people to live long and receive a trial. They must pay immediately and drastically for their crimes.

I would think this should be incentive enough. Shooters won't be able to live long or say goodbye to their families and will be denied a decent burial. If this won't make people decide not to shoot up places, nothing will.

    I could care less about a person’s life who don’t value other ppl’s lives. If they are a threat to others, they need to be killed immediately. They shouldn’t wait til they kill a little kid before justifying killing or injuring him to prevent further killing. I do know that police do everything they can to minimize casualties and at the same time catch the guy so he suffers the consequences but I do think they need to be more aggressive towards mass shooters because this is out of control! No mercy for the merciless! This is a terrible reality that all of us are facing, my heart goes out to those families.

      Killing them would make the executioner a hypocrite. Not only that, it's completely pointless. You're attempting to take the moral high ground while being no better than the people you're spitting on. Furthermore, killing them as punishment makes no sense. Most people who do things like this don't care, and it's just an easy way out for them. It's like beating up a masochist. Also, how is this even relevant? This will do nothing to prevent mass shootings.

    Unethical. No matter what the crime comitted The Constitution guarantees a fair and speedy trial anything that goes against the Constitution is unethical. Going against or compromising about the Constitution is a slippery slope.

    The shooter is usually inevitably stopped by a bullet. So why dont we get that bullet to him sooner? Instead of having guys with guns on call ready to come why dont we have guys with guns already at the schools and trained to shoot these ppl? That way you dont have to sit and wait for the police to get there. The sooner theyre engaged the better.

    Don't most shooters get killed by police though rather than caught alive? Even if not, the huge risk of being killed while shooting up a school shows that the people who do this don't care about dying.

    And regardless, harsher punishments don't deter these kinds of people, they never have. Crime has always been most prevalent in places and times with the worst punishments. If anything, severe punishment only makes the crime seem more thrilling, and it only boosts the ego of the people committing them.

          So? If that doesn't deter criminals, neither will public execution. But let's not forget that we have the death penalty, and it doesn't stop people from committing crimes. People don't care. Most people that do this don't really care if they die. That's why you see so many criminals that commit crimes like this unphased when they're sentenced to death. Executing them is actually doing them a favor. Furthermore, executing them would be extremely hypocritical.

              Stop LARPing as a Finn. You’re a midwestern American who doesn’t speak a lick of Finnish and doesn’t know their history.
              The Finnish were Nazi dicksuckers who sided against America YOUR HOME, and lost 12% of their land, 30% of their economy, and 26% of their entire population to the USSR. Russians know the cost of war. We won against the Finnish Nazis, and they’re never getting “their land back” no matter how many dicks they suck for it.

              Nazis siding with Nazis is no surprise. Google Finnish Air Force flag. Since I know for a fact you don’t even know what it looks like.
              The Finnish lost. You aren’t a Finn. You’re a Yank with an Ancestry DNA test. “My ancestors were Finnish !” Mannerheim rode Hitler’s dick and still lost.

              Finland only exists as a country because Lenin gave them their independence after freeing them from the Tsar. So there is your history lesson, because I know for a fact you don’t know any of this. Finland only exists because Soviets gave them their rights.

    Most shooters buy guns easily. Make them harder to get and 18 year olds should not be able to get a gun. There's also banning guns altogether which would solve the problem overnight.

    If the KILLER IS ALREADY KILLING, have you prevented it? Better universal mental health care for all, and through all (family, friends, non-friends, co-workers, your neighbours, literally everybody needs an awareness and to help each other, the only time we stop is when mental illness is no more.) this is the only true preventative solution.

    Except my logic is valid. What is not valid is your argument that every person that does something like committing a mass shooting is mentally ill. Once again, some people just find themselves doing things like that. Some people just do things. It doesn't make someone mentally ill. Oh, and you already did.

    Though not a "healthy reason," these are some of the reasons that you already listed above that answers the question as to why a "normal" person would do something like committing a mass shooting:

    -Revenge
    -Under the influence of a substance
    -They were manipulated
    -Because they "felt like it"

    If they commit a mass shooting for these reasons, it simply demonstrates that these people were ordinary people who found themselves in troubling situations that led to them doing whatever it is they did. The people who did it because they "felt like it" were just regular people who decided one day to do something "heinous," I guess. There have been plenty of instances where your average regular person all of a sudden lands on the news. Like I said already, it doesn't make someone mentally ill.

  • Wow3986

    A person who does things like committing a mass shooting may or may not be mentally unstable. But not every single person that does something like that is mentally ill. Again, some people just do things. Out of the norm does not equal mentally ill. Mental illness is not always the reason behind someone doing something "heinous". This idea that anyone that does something "out of the norm" has a mental illness or is insane is stupid.

    Comment Hidden ( show )
  • Wow3986

    Just because someone does those things does not imply that they have a mental illness. I don't know why every time someone does something terrible and "out of the norm," people like you immediately scream "MENTAL ILLNESS!". Some people just do things sometimes.

    Mentally unstable does not mean "insane". Insane means mentally unstable, but mentally unstable does not mean insane because, as I previously stated, in order to be "insane," you have to have no idea what you are doing. You aren't insane if you're aware of what you are doing.

    "Insane"? Sorry, but insanity is when you don't know what you are doing. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of school shooters that know exactly what they are doing.

    Holy shit what a dumb take. We don’t need to prove who it was because they’re still at the scene, and have no intention of getting away with anything.

    Mass murderers almost always intend to die at the scene. Us immediately trying to kill them is actually part of their plan.

    Catching them alive is almost always impossible as they’re also armed, and shoot themselves if nobody else carries it out for them.

    They are essentially just destructive and spiteful suicides. And if you think somebody that nasty and self centred cares about goodbyes you’re very much mistaken.

    Although I'm normally far-left, these situations are why I wholeheartedly support the death penalty. School shootings and torture murders... There is no reason to allow a person to live if they're done either. They've proven themselves a danger to humanity. At the very least, we'll get this guy's DNA out of the gene pool. And no, killing a killer is not morally equivalent to killing innocent people. This isn't "an eye for an eye".

        Murderers murder innocent people. Killing murderers doesn't equate to killing innocent people. One has done something to deserve death and one has not. If you don't agree, then consider this: When forced to choose, would you kill Kim Jung Un or an innocent toddler? Without a doubt, you would choose Kim Jong Un. Why? Because he has done something wrong and there are a lot of people who would be better off without him.

        Your reasoning lacks complexity and nuance. Essentially, you're saying that killing is bad because it's bad. What makes killing bad?

          It doesn't matter. You're still killing. Therefore, you are just as bad as the murderer. That scenario is irrelevant because we're not in a situation where we are forced to choose who gets killed off and who doesn't. You have free will. And how do you know I'd choose to Kim Jong-Un simply because he has done something wrong? I personally do not care.

          No, it really doesn't. If you support the death penalty and say killing is bad, you are just another hypocrite. You support the same thing you claim to be against.

            Yikes... You don't care who dies in the scenario I gave you? You'd really be glad to see that Kim Jong-Un is still alive and a helpless child was dead? If so, you have no room to morally condemn me. Kim Jong-Un is literally holding an entire country hostage, and has killed many, many people. The world would, without a doubt, be better off without him. And yet, you would still be okay if the kid died instead? Big yikes.

            I'm not saying that killing is bad. I never said that, actually. Killing innocent people is bad. That is my stance and I have not contradicted it. I want guns to be banned because guns aren't typically used to kill those who are guilty of a crime... They're used to kill innocent people.

            Essentially, I am not against the act of killing itself and I have never claimed to be. There are a lot of people that the world would be better off without. Kim Jong-Un is one example. What do you think would have happened if someone killed Hitler in the middle of the Holocaust? It would have saved thousands of innocent lives. How about Putin? The war would end without the mastermind behind it. Thousands of innocent lives would be spared.

              I never morally condemned you. I just said you were hypocritical. No, I wouldn't be "glad". I never said that, so don't even go there. I actually never gave a specific answer. I just asked how do you know that I would choose him and would do it simply because he did something wrong? But now i'll give an answer. Yes, I would choose Kim Jong-Un, but not because he has done something wrong. I would choose him because it's the adult vs The kid. Anyone would go for the adult, regardless if you they were innocent or guilty.

              Quit trying to take a moral high ground.

    Yup.
    80 years since WWII
    70 years since Stalin
    30 years since the USSR

    And yet NATO
    - which was designed SOLELY to bully and “stifle the expansionism of Stalin’s USSR” -
    continues to load our bordering nations with foreign aggressor military bases pointed directly at Russia and continues to grow in funding and expanding to other countries. Even “before the Ukraine drama” they surrounded us with aggression.

    Modern Russia. Who has hardly grown our military budget in our entire existence. A budget of $65 billion USD. Is the “massive aggressive threat” to NATO.

    NATO spends more and more money every year, multiplying their military spending, with a collective budget of over $900 Billion USD. Is the “defensive and peaceful” one.

    Yet we are the paranoid ones.

    Yeah but that mass mining wont happen. You still need mining machines and a way to refine them. With how the economy is going for russia they wont have the money to pay said workers. No foreign company will want to invest.

    Even if they did do that it would take YEARS if not DECADES to have the industry to create the modern equipment they would need for THIS conflict. So yeah nato will still have a technology advantage even when russia can make their own "modern" shit.
