There is no solution because there is no problem.
These are instances....wait let me rephrase....
I believe they are instances.
The coverage a shooting gets can be likened to the thrill one gets when they roast someone on Twitter/IG and get hundreds/thousands of likes/retweets.
Try and ban guns or arm teachers? Won't help. Kids will build guns or shoot teachers. Build bombs.
Are mass shootings a problem, yes.
But to approach these instances as of they are problems with a solution such as banning Guns or arming teachers, is a circle jerk.
Nobody wants to admit the true problem.
If there is one.
Tornados are going to ravish my State for generations to come. They are instances.
Can we ban tornados? No more than we can ban Guns or arm teachers and call it the solution.
Yes there is a problem. It's our violent culture and fascination with physically harming one another compared to other developed, civilized nations.
Until that's figured out (it won't be until our politicians have some sort of epiphany), we need to compartmentalize and at least attempt to address the smaller issues like mental health and gun control. Inaction is the more telling than acting and failing.
