What is the real problem? Guns, coping skills, or mental health? (drug, solution)

Liberal educators trying to neuter the male population. Its child abuse and they get away with it.

Guns have always been around. They never use to go on civi rampage. Why now?

Dead is dead regardless of the tool.

The whole conversation of it being one or the other is part of the problem. Mental illness is a problem in itself, coping skills is a problem in itself, too easy access to guns is a problem itself. The combination makes things worse.

Certainly not suggesting the sensor of movies and games. America does need to make it much more difficult the obtain assault weapons.

Violence in entertainment has always been around as well. I think it’s the fact that I can go onto any news website today and see photos and read about this guy’s entire life story and every utterance being talked about. He wanted to get attention, and he got it.

There you go again. Attacking the hatchet for chopping down the tree.

All the above...and more.

I think it's reasonable to argue that all three play a role, with each issue varying in degree from person to person.

Guns are the problem

Repealing the 2nd amendment and criminalizing firearm ownership is the solution

"Mental health" is what gun nuts point to so the government doesn't take away their toys. They have no solutions to mass shootings; many of them pretend that mass shootings are not a problem.

Do not look to the Republicans for solutions to this, because they have none.

Please really think about this issue and the ramifications of what you propose. It wouldn’t work, and would make the situation even worse. Really think of actions and consequences of what you want. Until people can think logically and not emotionally, we can never have a conversation of things that may actually work.
