Great...any suggestions?
Oh I don't know.....just off the top of my head....maybe limit the amount and type of guns a person can own. Make bullets as difficult to get as a pair of contact lenses or a bottle of prescription drugs. Limit the amount of ammo a person can buy or keep. Make gun owners keep their stock pile of guns at the local firing range rather than in their home where their kids can get at them. Figure out what's going on with young males that makes them want to shoot up their school. Figure out whats going on mentally with the large sections of the population that feel the need to surround themselves with weapons.
I dont claim to have an answer. I suspect that kids are growing up today in a society that does not address some basic need.
What need? I dont know. I do wonder about the lack of heros in todays world. No clear cut good guys or bad guys everyones efforts picked apart on social media. Does that play some role?
There are studies that suggest that since the "women's movement" young males are becoming increasingly lost because large numbers of fathers are either absent entirely or are distant with their sons because they too were ignored or neglected or are unsure of their place in the world. The role of men has become blurred and hard wired masculine traits that were once thought of as admirable or even necessary, are often deemed as bad or in need of correction. Boys are no longer able to do things that boys like to do as a group without girls being included. Girls are the gold standard of behavior and the message is that boys need to be more like girls and if men were more like women the world would be a better place. Fathers are the butt of every joke on television and adult men are portrayed as clueless buffoons who are mocked and disrespected by their wives and children. There is evidence that more and more boys and young men are lost, resentful and hate themselves and are lashing out at the world around them. Girls on the other hand statistically are doing better in every way.
