It's ACCESS to the guns. When you going to learn bruh. If kids want to be angry and knuckle up that's fine.yall will question why its happening this often at some point in the future im sure. eventually you HAVE to stop thinking guns are making these kids shoot each other at an increasing rate.
I said it before, but my solution would be ban white people from buying guns. You can’t prevent kids from looking on the internet and learning how to make bombs but I doubt they can make their own guns stronger than a handgun or something that shoots a lot of rounds fast.

More guns = more access.
Oh look, another shooting right on cue.
surrounding a person with tools to do evil wont make them do evil.
This is a flawed premise because you are making an assumption that doesn't make sense in the context of violence. We are already assuming that the person WANTS to commit violence. Given that, how can we minimize the consequences that will result from that person's violent action?
That is the question at the heart of the issue. This is where gun access comes into play.
Person A with violent tendencies in country with easy access to guns ---> person A more likely to use guns to commit violence.
Same person in country with more effective gun control (not just at the individual level, but also at the distribution level) -----> person is less likely to use guns to commit violence (because they will be harder to get).
Also, don't say the same could be done with knives and stuff. There is a reason infantry carries firearms and not swords: firearms are more efficient at killing.
This is incorrect. A drug user surrounded by drugs is more likely to use those substances. If you don't do coke and have no intention of doing coke... Then surrounding you with coke doesn't change anything.A person surrounded by weed and coke is definitely more likely to use those substances than a person who has less access to them.
Bartenders are almost two and a half times more likely to die from alcohol related illnesses than the average person.
It's really not that hard to understand unless you are being deliberately obtuse.
Meh. Notice how these mass school shootings happen in affluent suburbs?
Ultimately these kids fall victim to the blatant racial policies that are entrenched in American society.
Notice how they don't hesitate to put metal detectors in inner city schools? But they lose their minds at the mere suggestion of putting metal detectors in predominantly white affluent schools because they don't want their kids to be "treated like criminals"

I disagree with this. Temptation is a real thing. Surround anyone with enough of anything and normalize it, folks will start dabbling.

Parents raise your kids right please.
word? so if uve got a lot of xanax and opium in your neighborhood you bout to dabble in it? cuz of temptation?
all of you in this thread have access to any weapon you want, legally or illegally. so how come you guys arent suddenly inclined to start shootin **** up? ive got a glock 6 inches from my keyboard at all times. thats a lot of access. i go back to what i said earlier... ITS TEXAS. at LEAST 50% of those kids have access to a shotgun or handgun of some sort just by going into their parents room. but none of them WANT to do that. why? cuz its not in them. but. it was in this kid. so. he illegally took his parents weapons and committed the evil act he had wanted to do.
stop blaming everything but the person committing the act themself.
this is just wrong. if it was correct then everyone around it wouldve tried it. yes a LOT of black folks fell to the crack epidemic. but not all. and thats because the individual is ultimately the one who does it. if you dont agree with drug use, you wont suddenly try it because its in front of you. some men wont cheat, despite cheating being rampant in society and yams aplenty right in front of em. having access to a vice doesnt put the wheels in motion. YOU put the wheels in motion once you decide to do it or try it. Because the truth is everyone in america has ACCESS to any evil or vice you can think of, 24/7.If we're talking about drugs specifically, yes absolutely. If something is readily available and high usage exists, experimentation will occur. It happened during the crack epidemic and now during the opioid crisis. The individual has to be complicit yes, but easy access puts the wheels in motion quicker.

You're essentially saying people are a product of their environment. And at the end of the day thats just an excuse, because wonderful people rise out of the worst environments.
I don't see how dudes can quickly come to the conclusion of what will/won't work without anything even being tried.
