But…..we should all be packing heat because we all would know exactly what to do in that situation. Exactly! Ha The guy even gets the gun from him and is still in a defensive position, scared and unsure what to do, which is exactly how I would be. Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I found this article interesting. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/01/lost-boys-violent-narcissism-angry-young-men/672886/ There are definite similarities in the perpetrators of the majority of mass shootings. There is a “type”. Maybe it would be wise to focus some energy into solving this issue rather than breaking into 2 camps to argue about gun control every time one of these incidents occur. Yes, easy access to inappropriate guns provides the tool for these perps but the root problem seems to be easily identified but harder to cure. 1 Link to comment

An honest society would be having productive conversations about both. 2 1 Link to comment

It just seems the root problem is getting completely ignored while we bicker about and make no progress on what has been proven to mitigate the problem in numerous other countries. Also, I think there is extraordinary overlap at the core between these mass shootings and our current political/ideological problems. Seems the same demographic is driving both issues. I don’t have the answers but it sure would be nice to get it solved. 2 Link to comment

Maybe the first responders were already nearby if not already in the parking lot practically like you said. 1 Link to comment
