    I'm saying that this picture is accurate, it was posted to seem like it was an unfair assumption and stereotype. That's all. You're going on about the underlying issues but I never tried to argue that there weren't.

    s----s getting out of control in the states. I'm glad after school I moved back to the woods with good, caring neighbors that aren't criminals.

    This is exactly why when I go to a grocery store or anywhere public I am alway strapped with my handgun. At least I would have a chance of defending myself.

    I wish gun control would solve this problem, but everyone knows it wouldn't. Cartels want there to be gun control so they can make bigger profits off weapons. Criminals and mentally ill people who think of f----- up s--- like this would always be able to find weapons. I think we need more mental health awareness and need more mental health hospitals again and try and catch it in kids before they end up like this guy. Ik easier said than done but something needs to change.

    Rip to the victims.

    Japan had 11 gun deaths in 2008. The U.S had 12,000.

    How to get a gun in Japan:

    “To get a gun in Japan, first, you have to attend an all-day class and pass a written test, which are held only once per month. You also must take and pass a shooting range class. Then, head over to a hospital for a mental test and drug test (Japan is unusual in that potential gun owners must affirmatively prove their mental fitness), which you’ll file with the police. Finally, pass a rigorous background check for any criminal record or association with criminal or extremist groups, and you will be the proud new owner of your shotgun or air rifle. Just don’t forget to provide police with documentation on the specific location of the gun in your home, as well as the ammo, both of which must be locked and stored separately. And remember to have the police inspect the gun once per year and to re-take the class and exam every three years.”

    Absolutely crazy. America should take some advice.

    I feel like we're not getting anywhere. The pic is about how preconceptions and default narratives aren't helpful or accurate. By implying the cause is race or religion, the only solution is to rid ourselves of those races and religions be it through a historically massive and disproportionately black prison population or being complicit in third world genocide like by arming Saudi Arabia who is currently fueling a Cholera epidemic affecting a million people in Yemen. If, instead, you address these shootings based on their "underlying factors", you wind up fixing the policies that drive them in the first place. The ones you claim to agree are actually responsible.

    Ok I'm done talking I'm just going to say that you're making more out of it when it's just a general assumption that is true. Nobody's calling for genocide of Muslims, black people, etc. over saying they tend to commit murder for ____ reasons.

    We watched 20 six and seven year old kids get shot and killed while at school and nothing happened, nothing is going to happen again.

    Essentially. You would've thought 1st graders being shot to death would be the "push over the cliff" to take action, but here we are almost five years later.

    Haven't read any of the tread but changed OP to say "terrorist attack"

    Nothing against your title @Kon I'm just trying to change the way these things are portrayed in any little way I can.

    s----s got to stop.

    Good lad

    It’s a terrorist attack regardless of what the media portray it as. Doesn’t make a difference that it’s a white male which goes against most people’s perception of terrorists/the media’s narrative
