This is very sad, again this kind of even happening in US.
I think US people needs to start a long hard look at what kind of society its promoting and bringing up.
There is a reason why this is now a regular occurence in US and not in Canada or other civil countries.
Not trying to start a Canada vs US debate, gun control debates, etc, but the fact just is that society in US is very military proud. Entrenched in the self sacrifice of soldiers going to wage wars, of the impression of liberty, gun owning and use and pride in this.
While a gun laying in a drawer won’t kill someone, there is an underlying reason why it’s now so common to see mass shootings on the news.
There is a despair in the country, a subtile hate and division of the population. We see this even more since the election of Trump. Now I am NOT saying he’s responsible for a mass shooting, but I DO think that the fact a man like Trump can get elected with the kind of talk he has and attitude he promotes speaks about where Americans are at in their collective minds.
For someone to have access to a gun, and feel this much despair in himself to start shooting into a crowd like we saw in Vegas, Orlando and all these spots around the US, questions need to be asked that go beyond « should we control guns or not ». Way beyond.
One thing for sure, more guns is not the answer. Violence brings more violence. The answer lies in treating the underlying cause of the action, not the tool.
