And was a part of a social movement that collects severely mentally ill young people from society, & sends them down the primrose path of alternative medicine *instead* of evidence based medicine which is used in every other western country except ours. "Identifying" did not solve this man's issues

So are a lot of other people. And they don’t have access to mass killing war machines

Too many of my cohorts on the left focus on the dumbest shit possible like what type of gun it was. Here’s the spoiler alert: Pistols are the most dangerous guns out there but they receive almost none of the scrutiny. People that don’t know what they’re talking about care WAY too much about rifles.

The thing is that's not at all true, however. I applaud your willingness to think differently though, we need more people to be like that 👍

Ok. Not when it comes to mass shootings though. Yes handguns kill a lot of people but Americans having better laws would help a lot of that too. I think 18 is too young. Make it like alcohol -21 and up for guns.

How about parents letting authorities know when their kids are mentally ill.

Ok so apparently the weapons used weren’t any assault style rifles. Still. Why can 1 person have 3 guns? I think if you’re registered as a hunter (yup license that shit up!) then you get 1 hunting rifle. And you can apply for more as needed. And sure, every citizen can have 1 pistol. But no more.

How about we make murder illegal? Oh wait… Why not ask where he/she got the weapons from. Something tells me he/she didn’t buy them legally. If that is indeed the case, limiting the number of weapons wouldn’t have stop him/her either.

Apparently he did buy them legally.

His mother should have turned him in for being mentally ill. His parents failed society.

Other countries have mentally ill people as well, yet it's only the US that has these regular mass shootings

Minnesota had red flag laws. This man had mental problems that were obvious. Why didn’t someone close to him report him? The laws on the books could have stopped this. mncourts.gov/_media/migra...

True but for many reasons that maybe cannot be controlled. Maybe shooter can't access mental help, can't afford it or doesn't want it. But we can control guns.

What law would you enact?

More comprehensive background checks for sure.

They are not enforcing the background checks they have.

So what? Literally, what is your point? Mentally ill people all over the world getting through their day not murdeeung kids. Stop making excuses.

What is your solution?
