That's more than enough. I believe I've talked about what could be done AT LENGTH on here.... including a long reply to L Ron Burgundy on page 412. Did you skip that part and just go straight to the part where I talked about medications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do that before we finance a proxy war in Ukraine. $30-50 billion could go to do what my school has done.... invest in real security cameras, safety glass at the door, double entry at the entrance (you have to be buzzed into the main lobby, then buzzed into the hall. Only the front office allows people in and they look at the camera first. Resource officers. Allow front office workers to carry/have access to firearms with the proper training. As a former member of the military and competitive shooter, I'd go through extra training by LEO to protect this school. Etc. etc. The loon in Nashville stated she went after her former school over another school because the LACK OF SECRUITY. If a school was allowed to arm itself, that deterrence is MASSIVE. No school that has armed staff has had a school shooting during school hours. Ever. you mean this part about making schools into vaults? and nothing about stopping crazy people or drug addicts or criminals from getting guns. Brilliant! So we all know your answer to the thread: More guns are better. Edited March 29, 2023 by redtail hawk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you against anti depressants? Church of Scientology perhaps? And of course, the only societal variable that has changed in the last 30 years is the number of psych med prescriptions... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_in_the_United_States Welp. when said society is based on consumerism and victimhood being a commodity. people are way more medicated than before. and the correlation with medication/SSRI and violence is something worth looking into. especially when coming on or off it.

US use of SSRI’s is comparable to Iceland Per Capita gun deaths Iceland: 0.07 USA: 12.21 While SSRI use is on the rise in rich countries, it doesn’t seem to correlate with gun deaths. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 15 hours ago, DrW said: This seems a fair evaluation. However, one question remains: How did all the other countries shown on the graph avoid this "cultural and societal decay"? Or, at least, how did they avoid the dire consequences we experience in the US? That is a question that many wish to avoid . What is the racial breakdown of acts of gun violence in the US ? Scandinavian countries are often cited when examining gun violence in other nations. What is the racial breakdown of those countries populations ? The reality is that most gun violence in the USA is committed by those of certain racial background. These tend to be the result of a criminal element ( drug dealing , gangs etc) and a culture that celebrates violence . Unlike high profile mass shootings that often involve extreme mental illness. We need to look at the cultural differences in those countries , family structure , education etc. This is a cultural problem, as people aren’t inclined to shoot each other as a natural trait from birth. To say those other countries “ avoided “ a certain subculture is to imply that it’s somehow inevitable. I don’t believe it is. 18 minutes ago, ChiGoose said: US use of SSRI’s is comparable to Iceland Per Capita gun deaths Iceland: 0.07 USA: 12.21 While SSRI use is on the rise in rich countries, it doesn’t seem to correlate with gun deaths.
