      The root cause of people doing mass shootings isn’t guns, okay.

        Do you think shooting up a public place is the action of a sane, rational individual?

          Many mass shooters do not suffer from a mental illness, and mental illness is not a major factor for those that do.

            You can just say “yes” and be wrong, no need to go cherry picking for the one article that supports your warped view

            I happen to think that killing masses of people isn’t a sane decision, but you do you champ

      It’s literally not what you said, but you’re clearly not out here in good faith, so enjoy the shit flinging.

        Maybe you should read my comments instead for a change but it’s fine, I accept your concession

      If I cut my hand I use a bandaid. Guess you just bleed?

      There is no single cause or single solution. Calling for one is too say the problem is unsolvable. Gun control is part of the solution if not all of it.

        No, you’re absolutely right. As soon as we repeal the 2nd, outlaw and confiscate all the guns, all shootings will immediately stop and never ever happen again. It’s simple really.

          This Australian study to argues that’s the case for mass shootings, yes.

          https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26822013/

          There’s also https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JCRPP-05-2015-0013/full/html

          Which suggests that the US already had measures with that effect until 2004.

        So we’re comparing mass shootings to small cuts, now. Here I thought you considered them a big issue?

        Or do you slap a bandaid on giant lacerations, too?

            And I extended yours. Slapping a bandaid on a much larger issue really doesn’t solve the giant fucking issue. Better luck next time!
