What should be done to reduce mass shootings? (Poll)

[kyzr]

I can think of (4) ways to potentially reduce the number of mass shootings.
All of them offend one group or the other.
1. Have AI scour online personas for potential shooter profiles. If found, the FBI database will be checked to see if any guns were purchased, if not a "red-flag stop" will be issued so the FBI denies all gun purchases until the stop is cleared. If they have purchased any guns, the police will be directed to hold them until the stop is cleared. Civil libertarians and NRA members will both hate this idea. This is based on the fact that shooters generally have an online presence.

2. Gun control like democrats keep whining for.

3. Hold parents legally responsible for the actions of their kids until the age of 25. They should know if their kid is messed up. If they report a kid for therapy or psychological evaluation, the state shares the cost.

4. Re-open outpatient mental institutions. Too many insane people are on the street.

5. No action. Things stay as-is.

Mostly lean on the parents. Maybe if Robert Westman's parents had worked a lot harder on teaching their son how to value himself, two Catholic children would still be alive and several more would not be fighting for their lives.

Teach children to resist evil. I did.

Reopen mental institutions and reinstate involuntary commitment.

Return to simpler times. Mass shootings are just one of many symptoms of greater societal problems. Instead of swatting at flies, fix the screen door.

AI? You do know that ai typically gives wring answers. Just about anything I search using ai comes up wrong. When I point out ai is wrong, ai corrects itself but trys to convince me it is still right.

what can be done, dont turn boys into girls

Stop the media from stating boys becoming girls is beautiful

Stop all doctors from perforning trans mutilations, surgeries

Stop calling the political propaganda outlets news

Stop yelling fire in a crowded theater, that is all the lies made to make young people hate their country, hate their neighbors

Stop the climate change doomsday bullshit

Stop the neighbor maga is a fascist propaganda

stop the politicians and all the media from telling us there is no hope

Let a young man buy a home for cheap, dirt cheap. Make owning a home as easy as buying a can of soda

 

[elektra]

We have killings because our population is being told there us no hope and no future and we all know ut cause we cant own homes and live our lives without the govrrnment controlling and profiting from every single breath we take

 

[elektra]

Every breath we take, will be taxed, we exhale co2 which kills the planet hence to save the planet we must get taxed on our co2 footprint, our carbon footprint

There is no hope hence we have these killings

Time to support Trump and let Trump turn America into Trump's dream.

There are people who have some power in government circles who have destroyed others for venting. And they have not been taken to task for it. This is a huge issue. People at some points do not forget. And the real perps are the oppressors who lie low after the fact. The victim though, stew and wait for payback. That is our nation now.

I think if anyone can clean this mess up, it's President Trump.

Restore two parent traditional families, old fashioned traditional American values, encourage families to attend church or synagogue or otherwise have a faith of peace. And don't allow Marxist minded Democrats anywhere near the kids.

5. Secure Our Schools; Provide full time armed security on both the exterior and interior of all school facilities.

What should be done to reduce mass shootings?​

How about NONE OF THE ABOVE?

Mass shootings is a social and cultural issue and not a gun issue.

1. Take progressivism, PC, DEI, wokism, and CRT out of society.
2. Put religion back in the classroom.
3. Allow parents to beat their kids again.
4. Allow teachers to beat their students again.
5. Return gun education and training back into schools.
6. Eliminate idiotic gun free zones.
7. Eliminate progressivism from our media and start teaching discipline and accountability again.
8. Give children their innocence back while fostering real opportunity for them once they get out of school.

The politicians and media created this killing. Nothing more. From the school officials, frankenstien doctors, politicians, reporters, "scientists" "psychologists", they all did this

They must be destroyed to save the children

One member of our Catholic adult discussion group is a teacher in a tiny country school in a very red state, and she told us today that one of her students is into the gender dysphoria thing, and refuses to allow anyone to address him/her/it by the wrong name or gender.

It breaks my friend's heart. It needs to stop.

Parents need to teach children to value themselves, so that they are not susceptible to the forces that want to brainwash them into thinking that they are simply wrong and must be fixed.

Are you saying the teacher is wrong to call a boy a boy who says he is a girl?

None of the above....
ALL of the school mass shootings had a commonality of being under the care of "mental health" practitioners.

These professionals ARE culpable and liable....THEY FAILED to do anything to prevent their clients from committing such atrocities or perceiving the negative side effects from the psychotropic drugs they prescribed.

Psychiatry and psychologists need to get their crap together....because these literally could have groomed these people to commit these atrocities.

I think you voted 1,4,5, but I agree with 1,3,4

It's the second mass shooting by a trans person at a Christian facility. Consider that self described "trans" people are clinically insane and no way should be able to purchase a firearm.

So how do we do that?
