glad we're on the same page

3 children 3 adults and the shooter dead :/

Rip 🕊️

are you disagreeing that mental health isn't a large factor in these situations?

Conservatives cheering from the shadows…

“See! It’s not just white men!”

s*** is going to be INSUFFERABLE the next couple of days if this is true

It’s certainly both a gun crisis & mental health crisis

We shouldn’t be here to argue which is to blame.

Their solution is of equal importance

The point is that the presence of guns facilitate these incidents. Mass shootings are pretty much exclusively an american thing

teenage female shooter is a disturbing development imo it was bad enough that we had the original school shooter archetype of like alienated lonely loser young man but we at least started to understand what motivates them and how to fight back against that ideology

this is like a whole new can of worms being opened that we gotta figure out how to deal with

rip to the victims

mental health is undoubtedly a huge factor but here you've pivoted from "purely a mental health problem" to "a large factor"

the accessibility of guns absolutely facilitates these tragedies

Only Americans have mental health issues?

bruh it's a girl this time ?

well what's the solution to the gun side of the issue?

as for the mental health aspect I think we need to make healthcare universal for everyone in the U.S. and not create a paywall between receiving help for mental health. it's completely perplexing after 20 years of these headlines becoming regular that therapy at the very least isn't offered to people for free in the U.S. especially in a post-social media and post-pandemic world.

you're 100% correct, i'm going to edit that post

Suspect is a teenage girl

What was wrong with American gun culture in the 50s?

The 60s?

70s, 80s, 90s, 00s?

The frequency of mass shootings and school shootings has grown exponentially since the 2000s and no one ever talks about that part and it’s driving me insane.

of course not but I'd imagine our numbers are much worse than other developed countries

Welcome to the new world. We got loser girls and guys now. It's gonna spread more as s*** goes on lol

No dummy. School shootings.

It’s almost always teenagers

is it a large factor or purely a factor

my main point is disarming the american people is a very scary thing to imagine. i do not want to live in a country where only the police and military are allowed to have guns.

Disgusting

lotta issues i'd imagine cause this unique issue to the USA but reworking gun laws pertaining to acquisition would and should be step 1 while the other issues that pertain to this problem get researched with solutions implemented down the line
