(12,655 posts)and we can't keep ignoring the record of the United States compared to other developed countries in terms of gun deaths. But I think there's another piece here and it has to do with the progressive agenda. They will always be crazy people and there will always be people who for whatever reason want to do harm. And the gun-control part would help to keep guns away from them but I think as a general rule, people who have good jobs, who have a home, friends, family, interests, and a reason to get up in the morning, unless there are mentally ill, do not aim to do stuff like this. People with something to live for usually want to live for it. We need to get this society back to a place where people don't have to work a zillion hours to make ends meet, where families aren't fractured under the strain, and where people have lives worth living for. That might cut down on some of the disenfranchisement that drives people to do this. People who have something to live for it usually want to live and they don't usually have homicidal tendencies.
