A dozen generations of American children grew up learning to hunt and shoot targets without significant incidents. School shootings only became epidemic post-9/11, or maybe the late 90s if you stretch the definition. Guns are dangerous but there’s more happening here than a direct causal relationship.
Wealth inequality is higher. Education is waning. Food security is a big problem. Limiting access to guns is a solution but it isn’t the root issue for sure.
Yeah, grew up around guns and always had easy access to them. I also grew up learning gun safety for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is my grandfather teaching me how to handle the bb gun he bought me for my first Christmas safely and that guns were dangerous and not to be treated as toys.
I also had a terrible time in school and easy access to them if I had wanted to do a school shooting but the thought never even occurred to me. I did get into fights and some of those I instigated but that was all. Something else is wrong with these people that do mass shootings. Gun owners should be keeping them away from unsupervised kids but also there needs to be counseling in place to catch the ones that are prone to violence before they do something. Even if you take every single gun out of circulation violent people will still do violence.
For fucking real! Like I had a bb gun as a kid and that’s it, and that was Florida parents! These people live in Portland and have their 13year old multiple ARs and handguns‽ This investigation into them should not take long.
Stop allowing children to have guns. Thank you for your attention to this mater.

Things shifted when guns became less of a tool and more of a cool thing.
It took one generation for my family to only have hunting rifles they used in the house… to collecting various guns just because they can.

I thought the guns were the parents and the police decided to take them home.
Stop allowing adults to have guns too. Especially the ones giving access to them to their children.
Agreed. Only Trump and those he designates should be armed. The rest of us should remain harmless
I would suggest not relying on Mater to fix the gun problems. He is an international spy but I don’t think he’s got the tools to fix this problem…
