I don't think guns are the problem at all. There's something culturally at fault here.
I hate to come off as a FOB, but I was just thinking, why doesn't this happen back in Poland? Unless you can bribe a university, your chances of getting in are significantly lower, most people are poor, school's more difficult, parents hit you when you were a kid, etc. I mean, how the hell do you justify picking up a gun and killing a bunch of people?! Where does that come from? |
guns are a cultural thing hun, do they have legal kalashnikovs in poland??? |

Um, no they're not. They're probably more legally and/or illegally available in other countries.
Taking care of guns to solve school shootings is like giving Pepto-Bismol for hunger pains instead of food. There's a different problem at hand here. Young people deal with much more stress than their parents did, independent of cultural background. I think there's a huge failure of recognizing that.
I think elucidating this problem begins with sociologists and psychologists. Taking away guns is a superficial solution to a much deeper problem. It may work in the short term, but it's not efficient in the long run. |

i agree on the cultural thing
i used to think it was just the media but im in Riga right now watching it all over CNN and BBC and i doubt there are many school shootings here. |

| my theory - its a certain generation of parents that f'ed up (I mean, a greater frequency of such parents) and that's why we're having more shootings now. their kids have grown up and they are ups. |
