    See my post above, I don't dispute the fact that you can kill via those methods.

    However, killers keep resorting to guns.

    Care to explain why that is, in your opinion?

    What? If the guy thinks he’s a girl then CNN will be calling him the victim before the day ends.

    YOU were the first person to post and IMMEDIATELY made it political. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

    I had to hit 'show ignored content' to see this and now I know why you went on ignore. No contribution at all to any discussion...ever.

    Cool story bro. Now explain to me how countries with a homicide rate ten times as great as the United States (apparently not by shooting according to you) manage to exceed our homicide rate by such as a massive degree. If you are correct that their off the chain murder rates are not due to gun murder, then obviously gun control won't do a thing for America as it didn't do a thing for them.

    The MAGA crowd backs Trumps gun regulations. That obviously did not help a bit did it.

    And Biden is making it entirely political and attacking the gun manufacturers. Blaming it on "assault weapons" when we don't even know what weapons he had. Nothing about mental illness which this guy mostly suffered after killing his grandmother then purposely going to kill children.

    Yeah because that has worked so well. Dead children are the price you pay for freedom. God bless the dead Americans.

    They’ll throw the (developed world) argument at you. Which in turn makes no sense. Cause if gun control works it should work everywhere and not where they just pick it should work. It’s cultures that are violent, not guns and they will never understand that.

    We need a war, or something, to get the most passionate youth to enlist and learn to function under some discipline. Sometimes I think people need some crisis for their own good - reminds everyone that things are not that bad here and our internal issues are rather mild. I’m not saying I want some war - just making an observation that societies that face some real challenges tend to not have some of the ills of our society of today.

    When you prevent armed civilians from entering an area, you reduce the chance of a shooting.

    The Republicans apply this principle in their convention.

    They are hypocrites, but they are right to do so.

    Found the guy who doesn’t know a school from a political event. That’s cute.

    Do you feel proud to compare the homicide rate between the US and El Salvador?

    Laughable.

    Look at the rate of Canada, Norway, France, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain... in fact almost all other G20 nations with the US....

    Are you still proud?

    Killers resort to pretty good variety of tools. It’s still the killer and not the tool that bears responsibility since they don’t walk around on their own.

    Yeah, I think you're right in part. I know of two people right now, one a former friend, one the child of a friend, who are socially retarded. I would not be the least bit surprised if either of them ended up in the national news by doing something crazy. But only one of the two was spoiled. I don't know what is wrong with the other one, except that he's now a white supremacist, incel, holocaust denying Nazi sympathizer. And he has a gun. They are both intelligent.

    I'm not proud, no, but nor do I feel culpable for the shooter's decision to murder school children. It kinda sounds like you want to blame all Americans for this. That's wrong.

    So America will
    1 - get more guns
    2 - try to deal with mental illness

    I can see #1 happening, but certainly not #2 - 51% of Americans have had psychiatric issues at some point in their lives.

    I only blame those who claim that the 2A increases the level of security in the country.

    Care to cite a reputable source that measures how people kill, and proves that the kill method is split evenly?

    No offense, but I don't believe your opinion. And I am willing to bet, in the USA, a majority of killing is done by gun.

    Not too long ago kids would leave their shotguns in their pickups outside of school during hunting season. This isn't a gun problem...

    What's the quote? "We have have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives."

    Youth today have no purpose and nothing to believe in. They are confused. Girls can be boys now, their fathers dress and act like children if they even know them, and their mothers behave like whores and have pink hair and tattoos. No wonder they lash out in rage...

    "Republicans" do not support permitting armed civilians, especially, 18 year olds, to enter a school, or even its surrounding area, so what is your point? (Rule 2, paragraph 2 cautions against this kind of generalization.)

    I thank you for at least not quite claiming that "Republicans" support massacres of schoolchildren. Yet.

    Has blaming the gun helped? Has politicizing and blaming others helped?

    There's at least a distinct possibility that transgender-associated mental illness was at least a part of the motive here.
