Why not solve the gun problem?
Muh freedom!!!11! /s
Don't be silly, spoilt sport willy. War industrial machine needs to be fed!
What problem?
I mean the US is too lax with access to guns, but they also have many other problems that lead to this. I mean it's telling that mass shootings don't really happen anywhere else, even in places with effectively no gun control.
There is really no other comparable country on Earth safe for actual warzones with the same gun proliferation as the US.
You can't assume a correlation from one data point. If it's the guns, then that'll show up in data from other countries too. When's the last time you heard of a mass shooting in Yemen?
How are you going to make money doing that?
Because Cletus has a tiny dick
Because it's literally impossible to solve. The party which would do that would literally be guaranteed to lose the next election and the other party would then revert the decision. A massive part of the US population gets really pissed when you try to take their guns (or even just the possibility of them having guns in the future). Trying to actually restrict gun ownership is political suicide in the US.
What could be done is solving the actual problem: Kids turning into psychopaths by being bullied over years until their mind breaks.
I’ll disagree with you. But I have no energy to engage in this specific topic. I recommend you to look outside and check how other people are solving this problem.
