Why does this only happen in the USA?

In my opinion it’s because we’ve become a society of “anything goes” with no repercussions. We’ve been trained that we’re not to say anything when someone does something that might not quite fit with what was once the expected norm. Heck, we’re not to call attention to someone even when their actions are overtly suspect because we as a society, are being brain washed into thinking that we’re to accept everything/everyone.

There were markers that this kid was going to be a problem but no one followed the markers simply because we let everything ride. Truth is, if someone would have called this kid out before the shooting, they’d be the bad guy.

18 is misleading. It makes you think people are going around intentionally shooting up the schools. Here is one of the 18 they use for their statistics https://everytownresearch.org/school-shootings/#5924

A school liaison officer was sitting on a bench talking with some students when a third-grader pressed the trigger on the officer`s holstered weapon, causing it to fire and strike the floor. The holster was equipped with a trigger guard designed to prevent such accidental discharges, so the department is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the event.[/FONT]

Of course, I know I hate when liberals talk about the 400+ people that have been shot in the 200+ school shootings since Sandy Hook. If only the clearly bias liberal media would realize that for every school shooting where people were injured or killed, there are several more school shootings where no one was shot or killed.

Do you think that this reason is unique enough to the USA for these repeated shootings to only happen in the USA?

What ELSE has happened in the USA in the last 30 years since this started happening? Theres always been guns here and they havent gotten easier to obtain with fewer laws in play in the last 30 years. This is a cultural problem, which stems from a lot of variables not just guns. The big question is weve always had guns, why is this happening NOW?

@DBAILY, I feel like you’re asking me a loaded question. Atrocities happen when a collection of the right/wrong elements come together. Terrorism as with ISIS or the Taliban, Slavery, Hitler, Saddam’s use of chemical weapons against Iraq’s own people etc. happen when the perfect storm of elements collide. In each of these cases the people watched it happen. If you’re asking me specifically if I believe guns are the cause of this tragedy or if gun control is the fix for this problem, I do not. If you’re asking me where I think the problem really lies then I’ve stated my opinion.
 
Mocking God, mocking God worshiping people, the down fall of the family, changing morals........... Me, me, me, me, not us or you and me (or I).

That about does it.





How many lefties demanding “more gun control” fell down laughing when @realDonaldTrump-hating actor Johnny Depp said, “When was the last time an actor killed a president”?

as we get older we get bitter
it`s easier to be a con
just whine and blame others for your lot in life
own that trainwreck

to be a liberal you must actually get up off your butt and stand for something rather than be against everything
hate is cancer of the soul

lol
taking comfort in a bad shot
Dear Lord
 
I`m just asking questions. This is totally sickening. We have a serious problem and it is a combination of things in our culture contributing it. I don`t think that a laissez-faire attitude or people getting accustomed to these things is what motives these damaged people . However, this is unique to Americans. You can`t deny that.

I am not blaming the right. I am not anti-gun either like you`ve all just assumed. I am anti assault rifle though. These people that do these things never have a revolver or hunting rifle. It`s always an assault rifle that is used as. I do think we should bring back the that ban as a start.
 
And it is not just school kids doing these mass shooting. So your arguments that the kids of today are whiny snowflakes that are acting out because they`re not getting what they want does not apply there.

Why is it unique to America?

Wondering to whom this post is directed? I, for one, am not arguing.
 
Reported to the FBI for literally making comments of wanting to become a school shooter. Unfortunately they were too busy trying to find a way to blame Russia for their girl losing
 
I agree its not the answer, but you know that it will have to be a part of it. The availability of military style tactical weapons to the general public is not a good idea. I think we`ve proven that over and over again. We can`t trust one another to be responsible with them. I only trust LFE and military (even ex) to be responsible to with them.
 
I seriously doubt that is the reason why the FBI did not react. But you are right that law enforcement is not prepared to deal with this. This is not about catching criminals. It seems that the kids that do this give out warning signs. I think there were 2 instances today of family members turning in another family member because of their behavior. So we should be able to come up a better way to head off these things with the kids. The adults doing this seem to not give out very much warning signs however.
 
Ending all the ridiculous hyperbole and rhetoric would also be a good place to start. No meaningful discussion can happen with it.

Sure...Just like with guns, we all know that the sole purpose of cars is to kill.

Don`t forget, anyone suggesting sensible regulation, education, and gun safety clearly hates jesus.
