Guns aren't the problem. It's the culture. Think about it: There are plenty of ways to kill people. Anyone driving to work could easily turn their wheel a few inches and go on a rampage. It's so easy, but they don't. And that's because it's not in our culture. But right now, teenage shooters are. The issue wasn't nearly as prominent as before, which is why there were less shootings even though we had the same exact laws back then! "Teenage shooters" have entered into our culture for the time being. It's a culture problem that needs to be fixed with awareness, support, education, and the combined effort of the entire community.
It's the culture that needs to be fixed, not the laws. This is only happening because of copycats. Change the culture with public and government support, support and promote mental health/therapy/counseling on campuses. And if car rampages were to enter our culture, then the community should focus on that in exactly the same way. It's about proper education. Fix the culture that right now says "This is normal" using the ways mentioned previously, by doing that (changing people's mindsets) and you fix the problem.
I’m glad someone posted your article to the GreatAwakening Reddit. I live less than a mile from the incident. I heard numerous sirens and the helicopter, but I assumed they were for a major accident on the interstate highway which occurs far too often.
This is a classic example of why gun free zones only work to the advantage of criminals. All the decent people leave them at home. I personally avoid gun free zones since they are the most dangerous places to be and I am not welcome as a concealed carry participant.
The problem is a government problem that has led to a lack of morals. Thank you Jimmy Carter for creating the Department of Education that led to banning prayer in school that led to taking religion completely out of education. When religion is banned from education, morals suffer since the foundation of morals is religious. As an example, when I was in high school in the early 1960’s, students brought guns to school for shooting class. No one ever shot anyone. We had morals and actually prayed in school.
At some point hopefully, people will wake up to the fact that governments create problems, not solutions, less government means less problems.
This is a depressing news. We can't give people weapons that have the capacity to take lives. And tougher security measures should be excercised at all schools and colleges.
