3 Children Dead in School Shooting in Tennessee

This is all true but totally skips past identifying the kernel that keeps germinating in the disturbed minds of the perpetrators. I think the raw sewage of "muh 2nd amendment" certainly lends itself to fertilizing this kernel of rationalizing violent response but I don't think it's the actual source. I think it's much much deeper and probably extraordinarily disturbing.

There are disturbed minds everywhere in the world. They catch them after killing one or two with a knife in England, sometimes a handgun somewhere else. Or that japanese guy that shot Shinzo Abe with a self-made weapon that could only fire once.

Gun access might not be all the problem, but it's certainly one big problem. It's somewhat absurd as well, we have limits even on the First Amendment in some cases strictly for safety purposes.

The problem here as well is that weapon regulation seems to be an all or nothing proposition for some people, but it's really far from it.

At this point in time, do nothing/thoughts and prayers haven't saved a single life.

We need more good guys/women/children with guns

Moar cops and moar gunz don't solve anything.

It works okay for airports. I’m not saying it’s the best solution, but at this point we have to do something. Republicans are clearly the biggest issue, but Democrats pushing legislation that they know has a 0% chance of passing, just so they can tell their voters “I tried!” while throwing their hands up, isn’t helping to prevent these situation.

He didn’t make a joke about the shooting, liar.

Do something even if it fixes nothing doesn't sound like much of a solution, either.

you agree with these?

the reason im skeptical is that you dont think access to guns is even among the 3 biggest reasons for these shootings

What have we learned from the time trend of mass shootings in the U.S.?

Little is known regarding the time trend of mass shootings and associated risk factors. In the current study, we intended to explore the time trend and relevant risk factors for mass shootings in the U.S. We attempted to identify factors associated with incidence rates of mass shootings at the population level. We evaluated if state-level gun ownership rate, serious mental illness rate, poverty percentage, and gun law permissiveness could predict the state-level mass shooting rate, using the Bayesian zero-inflated Poisson regression model. We also tested if the nationwide incidence rate of mass shootings increased over the past three decades using the non- genous Poisson regression model. We further examined if the frequency of online media coverage and online search interest levels correlated with the interval between two consecutive incidents. The results suggest an increasing trend of mass shooting incidences over time (p < 0.001). However, none of the state-level variables could predict the mass shooting rate. Interestingly, we have found inverse correlations between the interval between consecutive shootings and the frequency of on-line related reports as well as on-line search interests, respectively (p < 0.001). Therefore, our findings suggest that online media might correlate with the increasing incidence rate of mass shootings. Future research is warranted to continue monitoring if the incidence rates of mass shootings change with any population-level factors in order to inform us of possible prevention strategies.

How do you know it fixes nothing? One glorified mall cop at a school fixes nothing, yes. But a larger armed presence at schools would absolutely deter these shooters. I realize that comes with it’s own set of problems, but again, do something. I’m sick of elementary school kids being murdered.
