Just stop giving out dangerous medicines like they are candy. Just look at the commercials that state the dangers of taking the drugs.

People keep bringing up incels. What has caused the rise in "incels"? Feminism?

I also think multiculturalism/"diversity" has not helped the situation at all. In fact a number of these crazy shootings are a direct result of "diversity".

I will give two short examples of people not obeying the written law.
In a park I take my dog too every day, two sections of the curb are painted red, with signs stating, "no parking anytime".
I have never seen one of the vehicles ticketed for parking in the red, and daily I see at least five or six vehicles parked there.
Second example.
Scattered through out this park are signs saying, "dogs must be on leash at all times.

I see tons of people letting their dogs off leash, completely disregarding the posted signs, and the law.

Enforcement is the problem, as well as the people who feel the laws do not apply to them.

I say hit them , not only in the wallet, but in the case of the people parking in the red, suspend their driver's license foe a period of one year.

As for the gun laws we already have, enforcing them would be a good start.

Bob.

Trump says gun deaths are a public health emergency but his solutions are ambiguous

"President Trump said he thinks the prevalence of gun deaths in America constitutes a public health emergency, but has not offered a clear proposal on what he wants to do to address it.
<snip>
"At the same time I don't want to take away people's Second Amendment rights," he continued. "I don't want to take away the Constitution having to do with gun ownership. ... "(my bold for emphasis)


the government giveth and the government taketh away ...

I didn't think the government could make a person purchase something, whether they want it or not, but they can ... so you may want to rethink that.

My solution is to stay away from large crowds that don't have adequate people toting weapons. Gun free zones without metal detectors and serious firepower are just bait for mass shooter losers.

The problem is that the parents of these kids hold the same views and they also believe that they have the 'complexion of protection'. The parents need to be investigated as well as their rotten seeds.

Actually those suburban domestic terrorist thugs suffer from a sense of entitlement and an inability to compete.
