Extreme Risk law or "Red Flag" law in place.
The rapper released a cryptic track called "Are You Awake" on Oct. 15, 2021. The track appears to suggest that Crimo was planning a life-defining act beyond his ability to stop. The video includes drawings of a man aiming a rifle at another person.
The video also includes an image of a newspaper clipping about Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated President John F. Kennedy, and another image of a victim shot with blood spraying from the body.

Well let's see who's the guy that bitches the most about generation versus generation; let me check. Hey it's you!
And the typical Woody well that's bad too when somebody mentions the real problem.
And speaking of usual responses first you Screech that the kid has some facetious Trump photographs out there among his rap videos Etc and then Screech that it doesn't matter. Pick one. You think this guy is a trump supporter or not? There's also antifa s*** which would sound more likely.
Finally although I don't consider myself that much of a conservative I certainly do not give two s****, not even one about things that don't affect me but more importantly can't be solved. Yes a tiny percentage of murders are mass murders. And a tiny percent of those are with scary looking guns. Your solution? Make the scary looking guns illegal. Will it make a change? Nope. Will it make you idiot liberals seem like big shots and you can dance around a maple smelling each other's farts for saving the world? That's the idea.
But I'm fine with gun registration I'm fine with background checks I'm fine with tightening up gun show sales I'm fine with just about everyone of the completely ineffectual Solutions you idiots have proposed that are meant not to solve the problem but just to piss off the people you don't like. Example how many people have been killed in shootings that employ the use of a bump stock? But hey what a step forward in the societal evolution. They are now against the law. Meaning that mass murderers will hesitate to use something because it's illegal?
And if you were as smart as you boast about being you could go back case by case and see that this rubbish wouldn't have even made a scratch in the problem.
Yes Woodrow there are random lunatics and no you can't really predict them or stop them.

That third paragraph shows you literally did not follow along at all. The answers to your questions were addressed multiple times. If you can't be bothered to read them then what's the point in me wasting time with a back and forth?
As much as you're desperately trying to antagonize me the rest of that post to get a response (with insults, typical Steve's, etc), I'll leave you with this:
Why are we the only developed country with this many "random lunatics"? Why has a portion of our country just decided these mass shootings are no different than natural disasters?
Why are we the only developed country with this many "random lunatics"? Why has a portion of our country just decided these mass shootings are no different than natural disasters?
They have background checks waiting periods and red flag laws?

If you continue with this same thought process, you’ll eventually come to the conclusion that regardless of how many rounds a gun can hold, or if it has a bump stock or not….if a fucking lunatic gets his hands on a gun people will die.

No, more gun laws.
Can’t you see how good they’re working?
So what's your solution? We can't get every nut job that slips through the cracks. All I hear from both sides is how we need stricter gun laws, and the other side says the gun laws are stupid and violate the 2nd amendment. Nobody ever has anything constructive to say just bickering. So again, what can be done?

^ and this is exactly the goal of the right and the gun lobby...
The gun laws we have now are weak and easy to get around. The past new "reform" we put through was nothing. Chicago has "the strictest gun laws in the country" (not true) is the right's big battle cry, when you can just easily drive somewhere else and get what you want.
Having ineffective gun laws allowed those that are pro gun to point at them and say "see! they don't work! no point in trying any more!"
It's a damn obvious cycle and it's one they either knowingly mislead on or their supporters are too stupid to see the poor logic

And again, no good answers to why this isn't an issue in other countries. Those countries have rap, video games, social media, youth, etc. This is just a problem for us.
But admitting that would mean not jerking yourself off over American exceptionalism so we'll never get anywhere. More important for some people to be "real American patriots" than to try and reduce the amount their fellow Americans get killed by guns
Fucking. Pathetic.

yes, you are, woodpecker.
the solution is to red flag mental illness in young people who have, across the board, dramatically, shown that
they are loners, anti-social, trouble with the law, etc etc etc etc.
Yet, they are coddled, protected, ignored, let off with no consequences, not reported to a legit risk/red flag system.
this kid had serious behavior problems.
He could have driven a car and killed 7 people. His social media behavior alone should have gotten the attention to get him counseling, etc.
Major problem in schools - pot - thc is causing psychosis in some young people.
Your leftwing subculture - you got your legal pot - especially the farce "medical pot".
Part of the problem is....you.
Part of the problem is social media fame - brings out the violence in some young people who are dangerously screwed up. Pot doesn't help, it worsens it.
and, of course -

yes, woodpecker. you want to know what to do about the violence of these screwed up young people committing violent crimes (yes, using guns) ?
get a bunch of people who think and vote and whine and bitch like you do, and stand in front of a big mirror.
Answer (1 of 2): Long story short: no. But, psychotropic drugs are not irrelevant.

"We have to look at the parents," Williams told host Neil Cavuto. "They knew he had suffered and tried to commit suicide. And to go and buy guns with your son who has already tried to commit suicide, to go and buy guns with your son who has threatened family members to the point where you had to take knives out of the house, something is very troubling there. And that’s going to have to be a part of this investigation also."

So if you had to guess, how much do you think a gun ban would reduce the number of shootings in this country? 100%? 50%? 25%? I assume you have some idea of it's effectiveness since you seem to be advocating for it.
Would it be comparable to the effectiveness of a complete ban on illict drugs?

1) where was I advocating for a gun ban?
2) You are never going to completely stamp out gun violence, just like you are never going to stamp out the production, sales, and usage of dangerous narcotics.
The only thing you can do is try to limit the damage. By passing common sense laws that BOTH sides can agree on. The problem is one side is screaming gun control, the other is screaming 2nd amendment and they are coming to take you guns. There is no middle ground and neither side is willing to budge or listen to the other. I have my own ideas I think would help immensely with the problem but I'm not going to share them.
