im from country where every home has an arsenal of illegal weapons. and im not talking only about guns, theres heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, all kind of landmines, grenades even AA guns and cannons in rural areas.
still theres no any madmen and mass shootings.
its not about weapons at all.
i guess its about collective mentality.
mad man would not do that.there is mad men everywhere in the world, but only USA mad men are going to rampage through neighborhoods they grew up..
its simple to label those as terrorists or madmen, but if i am in charge, i would try to listen to their reasons and investigate their motives. not to hide or fabricate it.
not saying it would be of use, but who knows. maybe there is some pattern.
You basically nailed it on the head there with where my thinking was...
This is the result of some wickedness within society and culture and politics...
People don't just do this stuff....Yes, it happens, but not this much and such.
I grew up in rural MN, and everyone had guns, and lots of people had exactly what you just said. I firmly agree it has nothing to do with the weapons too. But all these people that think it does.... Boy... How do you get through to them... That society is basically busted. I mean, it really is in many areas...
im not sure anyone can get through to them. i was working for media big part of my life, and successful story that sells is the one which can make 2 opposite sides bark at eachother. out of nothing.
people are so lazy to think that they are taking free instant opinions from TV.
id say death to the media..
reduce them to spreading information, not opinions.
or throw it in garbage, simply.
