And then, the problem is that the males have access to info about shooters who they view as "heroes", and communities online where they can mutually admire males who shoot up innocent communities.
And then, they go out and get guns to try to best their heroes in how many deaths they caused.
So yes. The problem is the guns.
If all these young men were admiring each other for throwing rocks in to crowds, we'd be in a way, way better place, don't you agree?
You've just explained how the problem is shooters and admirers of shooters then you say the problem is guns? No, the problem is the shooters and yes, their admirers - maybe? Well Ok, a disturbed kid does the copycat thing. But the problem is still the shooter.
I've had guns, plenty of them. I never shot up anyone or anything. I never 'admired' a criminal or nutter in any way. Which brings up a point. Admiring and hero worshipping criminals seems to be a big thing lately. Did you you know they even put up a mural of Fentanyl Floyd in Kabul? The first thing the Taliban did was get rid of it. But the point is, there is a recent trend in hero worshiping criminals and it does seem to coincide with the increase in mass shootings.
It's hilarious watching the conservatives try to come up any other blame or cause they can make up for these mass shootings in their desperate attempt to avoid dealing with the one and only obvious one: Easy access to firearms in a society where they are protected as a "right."
I don’t recall conservatives blaming inner city mass shootings on “slavery and oppression.”

Why didn't "males" do this in the 80's then?
We had easy access to guns then.....
Gun were part of our culture.
Gun laws were looser, no background checks.
Walk into a sporting goods store and walk out with a rifle....no problem.
well, most pharma drugs have their little warnings on the bottle they have to post even if it affects 1% of the people taking it “may cause suicidal thoughts…”
i knew an angry young man i had to fire a few years ago. gave him so much opportunity to succeed and he just couldn’t get out of his own way. when he started threatening staff had to let him go. no idea whatever happened to him, but his mental illness was on full display. has a clean record but could totally see him snapping. there’s many like him. guys that think they are smarter and superior to everyone it can’t get their life together in the realm of finances, employment, love. their failures just make them blame society more, increasing their unstableness.

If firearms are not accessible, they'll use other weaponry...like cars, trucks, knives, axes, you name it. They'll just drive into a parade at 60 mph & mow people down. Do we outlaw cars too?
Most of the murderers have mental illness issues that are not being dealt with, so we are all paying the price.
The problem is 300 mass shootings. With what 100 million gun owners. If easy access to firearms was the main reason we would have a lot more than 300 mass shootings.
This.
The Left has never been particularly good at math.
