Personally , I'd like to get to the root cause of these issues. Why is taking another life becoming the rational , in their mind, thing to do ?
Wouldn't you really like to end these things ?


The majority of our violence is broken down into a view areas.


Inner Cities (gangs , culture, poverty)
Mental Health (mental disorders, bullying,suicide )
Crimes of Passion (cheating, divorce, etc.)


What can we do to help the people that have these issues and feel the need to kill ?



Make sure firearms are not available. BTW, you described the entirety of the US population or indicators that most Americans can relate to. As for other countries using knives, when was the last time someone in Japan killed 50+ people from a high rise building or even 5+ anywhere? Think about it.

Mosquitos? My town sprays for them. Non issue.
Humidity sucks.
Nightlife is good.

You think paying more in taxes is good? I keep more of what I earn.

Bag on Florida all you want. Let a tsunami come or volcano boil over you're doomed you're way out in the middle of the ocean with nowhere to go.

Me. 6 hours I'm in Georgia. You?
Volcano? Tsunami? Probably you have never set foot on Honolulu.

Little fat Kim's missiles? Now it is capable to hit anywhere in US Mainland including Florida. The difference is only minutes between it hits Hawaii and Florida.

I don't pay much tax. I paid $1,700 annual property tax for my one million dollar assessed home. How much do you pay for your Florida home?

Really? I don't have or relate to any of those things.

Sweet!

Australia never has school shootings. Neither does the UK or Germany or Japan.
The US didn't have school shootings when kids were allowed to bring their own guns to school, when schools had shooting clubs and taught firearm safety. Sadly liberals would rather kids and adults remain as ignorant as the average anti gun nut so those things aren't taught anymore.

I'm sure more classes on gender fluidity will take care of the problem.

Determined to prove how little you know? Why limit to Japan?

I'm sure the 86 people killed and 458 injured by the terrorists using a truck in France are so happy they weren't shot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Nice_attack
Or the 8 killed in New York https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/31/us/ne...red/index.html
Or the 8 killed and 48 injured by a truck in London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2..._Bridge_attack

It's amazing how you people hold on to your mantra "it's the guns fault" in spite of all evidence that the tool doesn't matter.

Hey it was done by any other means that's alright as long as it wasn't done with a firearm that is all that matters.

PM me if you want to talk smack or would you rather leave your ignorance on display for the world to see proving my point for me that you're insufferable miserable control freaks.

Who is raising children and young adults to do these kinds of things? Guns are prevalent in our home and neither of my children shot anyone when they were in high school.
