I wake up in fear in Taiwan every day. There was mass shooting over 50 years ago.
Fortunately, Taiwan has no mental health issues, no social media and no 24 hour news channels.

Must be because it’s not densely populated, that you have plenty of personal space out and about on the sidewalks and on mass transit? Calm, peacefulness is just a short walk from your front door or office building as well, right?Smellyman said:I wake up in fear in Taiwan every day. There was mass shooting over 50 years ago.

No concrete proof or evidence. Just ideas. Nobody knows why people do these things.dignin said:riley540 said:Social media, news, ect. I think it’s all contributing. The major difference between now and the 1980s is the full time access to media. It’s in our hands all day
Any evidence to back that up? Because there is a lot of evidence to show that there are a lot more guns out there today, and a lot more assault style weapons.
This isn't complicated, as much as some try and make it complicated.
I simply believe thag banning AR15s won’t end school shooting. Columbine, V tech, two of the worst and hand guns were used. I guess my belief is that nothing good, or bad will happen if a ban is implemented.
What i beileive is important is determining the error is some people that motivate them to do heinous acts.
You mean outside of the evidence displayed by many other countries that initiated and followed through on sweeping gun reform that have yielded very favourable results?"My brain's a good brain!"0 -

Easy Brian, you're infringing on their 2nd amendment right to own any gun. After all, the second amendment supersedes our right to live without fear of being mowed down by said M16brianlux said:In any case, lets at the very least let's ban the automatic weapons like M-16's etc. and require better back ground checks. Why that is a problem for some just simply boggles my mind.
Don't you just love it when people talk about the second amendment like it was given by God to Moses on stone: "Thou shalt allow thy citizens the right to bear weapons intended to mow down the masses". And they also conveniently forget what that amendment was really about way back when it was written. Time for a change.

Huh, really? Another intelligent comment from a grown man about teenagers involved in a school shooting. I guess if I had to choose between being a teen now and eating a tide pod or doing all the dumb shit you probably did that was not shared with the world because the internet didn't exist I'd eat a fucking tide pod too. Keep throwing your stones and stay classy.unsung said:
