One is covered a lot. One isn't covered at all.

Strange

Probably because it would point where the majority of our problems are in this country.

Instead though, Joe wants to ban semi auto rifles and pistol braces...
What does “ get ahold of anger and mental health issues” mean?

How would a country/ state/ county/ local government do to get ahold of anger and mental health?

What kind of objective criteria would be used to identify anger and mental health issues before someone becomes violent?

Be specific, please.

For the 1,000,000th time. This is why we need gun control.

For the 1,000,000 time if you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns.

So many Democratic cities are totally rotting morally. Violence in Democratic cities has every thing to do with toxic culture and needless confrontations and drama and nothing to do with anything else.

There is so much hatred in the air in Democratic cities from massive amounts of people being left behind because of Democratic policies.

Democrats tend to love confrontation and always trying to change who they are or conform to a groupthink mentality.

To blame this on Democrats is about as twisted as it gets.

My thoughts are with the survivors, and the family members of the victims of this terrible tragedy. I really don't understand why, if someone's plan is to commit suicide, then why don't they just kill themselves and leave everyone else alone. These innocent people didn't deserve to die.

We can certainly agree on that. But, remember, when the dust settles, Democrats WILL be blaming this on Republicans. Just FYI.

FFS really ? When almost 50% of gun deaths are due to suicide , don't you think we should be addressing mental health ?

Years ago, Japan had a rampant upsurge in suicides, so bad, that the authorities started charging the families for the clean up. A bullet (ironic isn't it ? ) train, which was the method of choice, makes quite a mess of the human body. They have since addressed this, and reduced the amount of suicides.

Next, these rampage shootings are not done by rational individuals, there is obviously some issues these people have that they cannot deal with. Again, points to mental health.

And lastly, the violence that happens nightly in our inner cities and trailer parks across the country. Some can be attributed to drugs and gangs. Which is another problem, which requires a different set of solutions.
The rest is because many of these youths feel there is no other direction for them in life, and in the hood the strong survive. So they turn to violence. That type of thinking needs to change.

I'm just calling out what I think are the root causes. As far as solutions I'm not an educator, doctor, or therapist, so that is out of my scope.

Social messes are the favorite tool of the Democrats. Out of the mess will emerge a new shining tyranny with jackboots and gulag's for all.

This whole blaming Trump, blaming Biden thing is asinine. This is on the individuals that pull the trigger and nothing more.

I'm all on board for having families pay for the clean up of homicides their family members commit.
