My thoughts are that the U.S. federal government are the biggest arms dealers on the planet; the problem with mass shootings isn’t so much the availability of guns, but the fact that we live in a society that gives small hope for the future.
Even though the establishment wants to avoid this issue and put all the onus on guns, the U.S. has a very deficient mental health system which is even worse than other health “care.”
We are not going to solve the problem on this thread, but I’d like to get your thoughts in the comments.
Please be thoughtful and respectful.

Right on Cindy!
Imagine if we spent the cost of one aircraft carrier on providing adequate staff for schools, to include Mental Health services, Social workers, and School RNs. And thus when someone says, "I'm really worried about this kid who's depressed and suicidal and fixated on guns." there would be resources to assist them.
And one other idea that might assist might be safe rooms in every class. A refuge for all students and staff to have a place to go into that would protect from gunfire. "Walk, don't run!"
I agree. USG basically wants to disarm the population because they NEVER look at the root causes of WHY someone would go and shoot up a school, they just jump to a gun grab. Democrats use this highly polarizing emotional issue to fundraise and get votes ONLY because of course we remember when obama had a super majority and did nothing about assault weapons. The left has made me go right... I am more rabidly pro2A than ever before because of course we also saw what happened in Shanghai, Australia NZ etc during their commie covid craze.
