An ex-Congressman named Campbell pointed out that many, many years ago there were no gun laws, and none of these weird mass shootings occurred. Campbell said the answer is not more gun laws, but cultural renewal--the need to behave, show compassion, etc.
All good points. I have been complaining for years that these weird killing sprees are usually committed by loners.
The cultural answer is to release people to individuate, and to go into and out of any group without reprisals. As our young people are so trained, they will no longer exclude, pick on or isolate loners.
Loners will not longer need to explode against society that belittles them, snubs them and ignores them. Girls will not be so groupist, so they will be more inclined to love, even marry a loner.
All of these palliatives would ameliorate.
Finally, if loners were trained to individuate, they would have positive outlets for their rage, thus not necessitating taking violent revenge upon society.
Finally, where all are armed, he knows he will be shot right away before he can do much harm, and that will discourage copycats from doing his heinous after his death.
