We don't have to live like this.
I don't know how we'll ever stop one person. We can fight an army, we can fight a rogue group. Anything that can generate patterns. But a single human? We're all disgruntled about one thing or another. We have to figure out a way to help people to not want to destroy one another.
I agree completely. If I were queen, mental health care would be as easy to get as a Glock is now.
One meaningful and proven way to help is to make it harder to get a gun. This violence is mostly done by young men. A group prone to impulsive acts and raging emotions. That won't change. Gun access we could do something about.
I don't believe we'll ever be able to stop someone from getting a gun. We can make it harder to obtain expensive guns like assault weapons, and other military level weaponry. We have a whole 2nd amendment that allows people to own a gun. The most we can hope for is an assault weapons ban + "common sense" gun control.
Our country is being devastated by a rogue political party thats in the process of what amounts to a constitutional coup. We have to remove them from power. Every single one of them in order to survive. I don't hate them. I will soberly remove them from power like a machine.
