Always comes back to the guns, Gov Abbot making guns more readily available and lack of strong gun safety laws.
Where are all the mass stabbing and bombing schools?
Making military weapons readily available is nuts. The amazing thing is there are so few mass shooting considering the firepower available.
About a week ago I was looking up the
Milkor MGL, a 40mm six-shot grenade launcher, that is now in use UA, but that too is for sale in the US!
As I said right from the start, I agree with more gun controls in the US; the situation now is just ridiculous.
Yet if you think that gun control alone will solve the problem, then read ninjacoco's post about how people think, feel, act. Guns are a perfect method, but if they weren't around, you'd really hear of stabbing, IED, or cars plowing through the crowd (in fact, in some case you already have).
The Uvalde shooter was a lonely, problematic, young man who has been - raised - to have these problems, without - anyone - intervening beforehand or even trying to help him.
Even without guns, he would have been all those things, and he would have planned a way to burn out by taking as many purple as he could.
In order for the mass killings to stop, - that - must change most of all. Gun limitation can be a very good idea, but it won't change the root cause, which is that there are too many young people (mostly men) so lost that they are willing to do that.
After all, think about it: suicide bombings are typical in places like Afghanistan, but not elsewhere, schoolgirls abduction is a nigerian thing, Japan is well known for suicides, Brazil for favelas, Mexico for homicides, India for religious turmoils, South Africa for racial issues, the nordic for alcohol abuse, Italy for mafia. These things won't change just by making some things illegal; in fact, mostly the governments tried it, but the problem is still there.
So it is for the US and mass killings: btw, go on and take away the guns, but the problem is way deeper than that. It's deep in how Americans live their lives, think, and in what they believe. Its cultural.
