I am not anti gun, but I resent the thinking that being macho is an answer. That seems to be the prevailing mood now, and frankly it will worsen...our individual psyches cannot take hate day in and day out. We are being "taught" and shown by examples each day that we should "fight fire with fire" and playing a victim is acceptable.
You mentioned young people and that is for another thread, but in any case, if you simply bring up disgust at shootings, you are assured you will be assailed and told guns don't kill people....somebody once asked...then why do killers have them ?
I have no idea of this particular motive, but you must be filled with hate to even contemplate action like this

I absolutely agree that we have become a hate filled society. But again, why? What is perpetrating this?
How can you be taught to fight fire with fire and that being a victim is acceptable? It would seem counter intuitive.
I believe everyone should be outraged at these shootings. But I'll place my outrage with the shooter.
Not sure where I mentioned young people but this problem does seem to affect the young more prevalently than an older demographic. What are the influences that make this generation go this route? Is it lead by example? Is it that they've been raised with more violence in their lives? Violent video games and media? I just want to know what is causing this.
