The conversation usually starts with guns but I believe it goes deep into other issues at the core. Yup, just very sorry that first thought of school kids is, How to survive a day in school?

Definitely not a gun issue. Canada has per capita as many guns as we do but not nearly the gun violence. We could start with bullying in school. Definitely a bigger part of the issue. These aren’t cheerleaders and starting QB’s shooting up the schools. It’s kids that are considered outcasts.

When mental health issues were diagnosed in a person years ago in Montana, they were sent to Warm Springs to get cured. They closed that place if I am not mistaken? I am sure this same situation has taken place all over the USA?
Warm Springs is still open and treating patients. The home for developmentally disabled in Boulder was supposed to be closed. Many of the patients have been moved out but there are still a few remaining last I was told.reinell30 said:Bulletproof anything isn't the answer to the gunmen in the schools.

I thought the Canada argument was pretty interesting, never heard that before. I listen to a lot to JRE and the fact the US has more guns than people is constantly brought up. Turns out that is not true, Canada isn't in the top 10 anymore https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/03/americas/us-gun-statistics/index.html
There is an article from 2014 comparing Micheal Moore comments about Canadian gun ownership versus US gun ownership. He made the same comment as above.
The answer is never one thing though its part mental health, part some humans are pure evil, part indoctrination (red pill, jihaad, white nationalism), and part getting gun is pretty f-ing easy. The reason why nothing will ever change is because neither party will admit their particular fault in what they defend and come up with a a solution that addresses all 4.

Wait. I keep forgetting. As Mike the Moron used to say, it’s just a f$&king free-for-all internet message board. #sad.

My impression is the effect of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," a novel (1962) by Ken Kesey and movie in 1972, starring Jack Nicholson. I'm sure they caused the emptying of asylums, resulting in homeless wandering the streets and untreated mental problems in the name of "freedom," a battle cry of the 60's and 70's hippie movements, largely spawned by Kesey, himself. What a phony! Students and professors fell for it.reinell30 said:Bulletproof anything isn't the answer to the gunmen in the schools. It is called, bringing back the mental hospitals.

Definitely some eye opening numbers. In fact, Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911 is where I got that from. One interesting thing I noticed from the CNN article in its list of top 10 countries with gun availability, peace loving Switzerland was number 3. In fact besides the US and the Muslim countries on the list, Finland and Sweden were also up there. At first I thought, those are peaceful countries, but a quick google search proved me wrong. All three are beginning to be ranked higher and higher in gun related crime issues. Maybe gun accessibility is a bigger part of the problem then some want to admit.
