Matt is on the left but Hate, inc addresses an issue that is quite prevalent on both sides, specifically in how the media targets each respective side.
    The media is more responsible then the guns themselves,c'mon?

    That’s not true. What is true is that 8% of mass shooters had a serious mental illness. Serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia or psychotic mood disorders. 

    The percent of mass shooters with a mental illness would obviously be much higher. 

    From the study itself: “Depending on the definition of mental illness used, the proportion of mass shootings associated with it varies from 4.7% to 78% across studies.” 

    “The relationship between psychiatric symptoms and mass murder may be less associated with psychotic symptoms than with subacute, more common psychopathology, such as depres- sive symptoms, personality-based symptoms.”

    In my earlier post #71,I was talking about detox in his post about it being the media,and perscription drugs fault,and he happens not to mention guns being any part of the problem.I thought you were kinda agreeing with him,when you just mentioned that you thought the media does play a large part in these shootings.

    We need guns to protect our freedom, our property, our lives and the lives of our loved ones and also for hunting. 

    Blaming guns is the same as blaming knives or cars. 

    There are 440,000,000 million guns in the US. Do you want the government to go around and take them by force? You’re not offering any logical solutions, you’re just yelling at the sky. 

    Our media should stop making the shooters famous. Our doctors should stop overprescribing drugs to kids. We should do more as a country to focus on the mental health of everyone, especially kids.

    Blaming guns is the same as blaming knives or cars. 

    There are 440,000,000 million guns in the US. Do you want the government to go around and take them by force? You’re not offering any logical solutions, you’re just yelling at the sky. 

    Our media should stop making the shooters famous. Our doctors should stop overprescribing drugs to kids. We should do more as a country to focus on the mental health of everyone, especially kids.

    Making everyone stay inside and closing beaches, parks, basketball courts, schools, sporting events, entertainment, drug treatment centers, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and not be allowed to see family and loved ones for 2 years obviously wasn’t the best for our mental health as a country. 

    Trump and DeSantis warned about it. 

    Democrats didn’t care. 

    Now the results are starting to come in.

    You've got a long hill to climb. Good luck partner. Try to look at the bigger picture (I think they call that looking outside of the box) and not at what's forced at you. It'll go along ways in your thinking.

    Also, look up how to use your and you're. It'll go along way in forums and people might take you more seriously.

    Surprising.  I would have guessed this stat to be at least three times that figure.

    Investigators believe Las Vegas gunman had severe undiagnosed mental illness. 

    Mental illness has always been here my friend. The response to Covid will just make everything that much worse.

    These are important issues but pretty sure other countries face similar challenges with mental health and prescription drugs and do not suffer from mass shootings on a daily basis like the U.S. Blaming these occurrences on anything other than the ease of getting military grade weapons is side stepping the real issue IMO. an_light

    Gun reform is needed immediately. However, mental health services need to be enhanced and provided as well.

    Every action the killer took, from buying the guns right up until he pulled the trigger, was completely legal. Existing laws do nothing to prevent these tragedies, whether they are mentally ill or just pissed off at the world. The only way to prevent this from happening again are new laws specifically aimed at gun ownership.

    1. Not many other countries have the mental health problems we are seeing today in the US. 

    2. No other country is drugging their kids like the US. I think we’re 300% higher than 2nd place. 

    3. Military grade? What are you talking about? Full auto fire is banned. How are they easy to get?
