    I just wounder, how many of these shooters/killers we're brought up in  nice households?  How many of these Mass shooters were shrugged off to daycare at a very young age because it was a single parent family and that single parent had to work?  How many of them we're genuinely loved and cherished by Mom and Dad both?  I think that young boys and girls need to have a dad in their life and a mom.  But the dad to teach discipline, right from wrong.  Teach their sons how to respect women, how to treat women, how to behave in public, what to do when you don't get your way, how to overcome adversity, how to preservier and exercise discipline when need be.
    Family Values would be a great deterrent to this mental illness problem we have.
    Maybe a good sound family structure would help to eliminate some (not all) but a lot of this so-called mental illness that causes these people to go crazy.
    A father figure who teaches his son right from wrong(I know I'm repeating myself but it's important).  A mom who has time to be a at home mom. (I'm not saying women can't have careers) but a mom needs to have time to raise her kids and not be forced to put them into daycare so she can work two jobs trying to make ends meet.
    The debate over gun legislation is valid.
    However, no gun law will prevent mental illness.
    But I think it would be helpful to zero in on what causes these people to snap in the first place.
    Daycare and single parent households don’t create mental illness. Your description of a right wing American fantasy land from the past is a myth. 
    You didn't answer my question. How many of these Mass Shooters came from good families?  How many mass shooters come from Right-wing American fantasy Land?

    it's funny to me that you wish to have a serious discussion about this when you think that morals/family values = mental health.

    I haven’t studied the backgound of all the mass shooters and I also haven’t created a valid criteria for what a “good family” is and how they measure against it. Since I haven’t done that yet, I’m not going to create a half-baked theory about the good ol days to try and come up with answers.

    Agree with that. 
    I still don't see how it is acceptable to say you fear/worry about someone because they are white.
    White and armed. Not just race. Race combined with owning firearms. Hasn’t it been espoused that every “legal” gun owner is a “responsible” gun owner? I argue that responsible gun owners are until they’re not. Everyday, it seems, there’s an example. I believe that the recent past of mass shootings or other high profile shootings such as the abortion doctor murdered in church, abortion clinic shootings, attacks on schools, etc., etc. have been committed by white males, disproportionately so. Throw in the Olympic and OKC bombings and it seems angry/religious, armed, white males are the ones needing further scrutiny or “extreme vetting.” My situational awareness tells me to avoid gun owners, regardless of their race.

    Mental illness doesnt care if you live in a two parent household, have a single mother who works two jobs or a stay at home mother or a father who teaches right from wrong.

    Do you avoid gun owners, or just gun owners who carry?
    I don't carry. I plan to apply for a license, but really only would carry out backpacking/camping. There's been more than one occasion I wish I did have a gun with me while backpacking. I don;t plan on carrying when I go to McDonald's though.

    Since it's your theory, perhaps you can research it, rather than expecting other people to do so

    Nah, we don't need any regulation ...
    So this guy had multiple violent offences in his past, multiple violent clashes with other people, was awaiting another court trial for a violent offence, and looks like a f**king idiot that might commit mass murder.

    It begs the question: exactly why was he not in a jail cell somewhere?

    The 'law discriminates based on color' theorists have something to sink their teeth into here. Blacks are incarcerated for marijuana offences, while white psychopaths are afforded freedom after hurting multiple people and threatening many others.

    I'm glad this idiot is decomposing.

    I wouldn't sell that dude a nerf football if I was a cashier at a Walmart for fear of how he may create chaos in the community.   Yet he had the guns even though he fired rounds at neighbors and stabbed them prior (multiple months) to going on his murder spree hint: SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY CURRENT LAW. 

    Good thing the good guys got him ...  has it been a week since the last mass shooting?

    good thing the NRA fights for the rights of The Great Cornholio

    Maybe if someone would thank Trump for requesting God be with all these victims of mass shootings they would cease. He's doing so much to banish Muslims and mental health.

    What we need now is a photo op of Trump at the range with an AR-15 so he can tell us how weak of a gun it really is while being flanked by Mr. LaPierre and Ted Nugent.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I just wounder, how many of these shooters/killers we're brought up in  nice households?  How many of these Mass shooters were shrugged off to daycare at a very young age because it was a single parent family and that single parent had to work?  How many of them we're genuinely loved and cherished by Mom and Dad both?  I think that young boys and girls need to have a dad in their life and a mom.  But the dad to teach discipline, right from wrong.  Teach their sons how to respect women, how to treat women, how to behave in public, what to do when you don't get your way, how to overcome adversity, how to preservier and exercise discipline when need be.
    Family Values would be a great deterrent to this mental illness problem we have.
    Maybe a good sound family structure would help to eliminate some (not all) but a lot of this so-called mental illness that causes these people to go crazy.
    A father figure who teaches his son right from wrong(I know I'm repeating myself but it's important).  A mom who has time to be a at home mom. (I'm not saying women can't have careers) but a mom needs to have time to raise her kids and not be forced to put them into daycare so she can work two jobs trying to make ends meet.
    The debate over gun legislation is valid.
    However, no gun law will prevent mental illness.
    But I think it would be helpful to zero in on what causes these people to snap in the first place.
    And this argument was brought to you by the 1950's....

    Seriously? Your idea of a good family is the hardworking father laying down the law and the mum staying at home baking and warming his slippers? I grew up in a single parent family, Jesus I guess by your reckoning it's a wonder I'm not a homicidal basketcase.

    Honestly, my jaw actually dropped reading your post

    I'd crack right up watching that tool shoot a gun.

    I can totally picture the recoil slamming him to the ground: face grimacing, hair piece flopping over, skinny legs firing up into the air, size 6 military boots made just for the occasion gleaming, big fart as he hits the deck and Melania in the background doing her best not to smile.

    Well you all think that white male conservatives who own guns and go to church are all dangerous racist white supremacists, that's what you've been trained to believe, hence that's what you think.  Well that assumption is totally bunk.
    No not everyone raised in a single parent house becomes a basket cases no, I never said that.
    But my views are jaw dropping to you and many drama queen folks.  That's because you've been conditioned by the system.  Toss me in that basket of deplorables while you're at it.
    Here is some good reading three different articles showing the benefits of having a father along with a mother in the house.  And the link between mass Shooters and single-parent households without a father along with a few other statistics. Have a nice day.

    I had brought up about "why" these mass shootings happen too and got very little response from anyone on here.

    It seems for the most part people just want gun regulations and that be the end of it and not try and find out why people are doing this.

    That's far from the truth.

    People would like to probe the idea of why people are becoming disenfranchised from society to the point they want to kill everybody... but in the meantime... until the answers are definitively laid out... sensible people would like to try and disable them from producing carnage with tried, tested, and true measures that have succeeded in other countries.

    The sensible people are met with resistance from people who really like their guns. They cite all kinds of toothless reasons to oppose the change effort, but these arguments are merely a façade- nobody could be so stupid as to think there is a reasonable argument opposing the common sense measures desperately needed in the US. The resistance is motivated by an intense admiration and obsession for really cool looking weapons. In short... selfishness.

    and we talk in circles again.

    If you start on page one of this thread I'm sure most of the things said have all been recycled.  I think I'm the only one besides RYME recently to ask as to why, to really come to a reason for people going sideways.

    You can have regulation but there needs to be a deeper reason as to why, a motive for people to easily go out and kill people.
