The only way to control mass (or any) shootings is to regulate gun ownership. It is a fantasy to think we can control mental illness as a means to control shootings, pure fantasy as a way to avoid what we must do. We are enabling the weaponizing of people whose mental disturbance is seemingly normal, like Trump and his supremacist, anti-people followers. Maine's latest crazy shooter is what we get under current fantasy thinking.
Of course it's the guns! 'We', the NRA and GOP, have armed the nation. Guns are easier to get than a dental appointment (mine isn't for 3 months!). Only way it changes is with a Democratic lock on the Federal government so some changes can be made. It will take a few decades.
Actually, other countries (eg, Switzerland, Israel) have widespread access to guns without mass shootings. We have one thing that they don't have: Republicans.
NO, I lived in Switzerland I wish people would stop using that example since it's false. Guns are HIGHLY regulated there. If you are in the military you can't have your service weapons at home. And most people can't, and moreover, don't, own guns in Switzerland. And if you don't think Israel's government now is MAGA, you really aren't paying attention.
I am basing Switzerland on published per capita gun ownership that I have seen. And Netanyahu’s kakistocracy is shorter than Trump’s. my statement is based on decades of data
Excellent point Pulmon, although Switzerland is the exception. Switzerland also has universal military service, hence proper training in firearm use and safety precautions.
Your making an assumption that has. It been validated about this shooter. The problem frankly is there are too many weapons in circulation with easy access and we have a very high angriest level of many people in this country fueled by misinformation and outright lies.

Other countries have people with mental health challenges, what they don’t have is unlimited access to guns. It’s the guns.

Let's do it in 2024.

Thanks for the edification!

"well-regulated"

Gus don’t kill people. People kill people. They use guns.
Yes, but the easier the access the more people use them.
Pssst. I wasn't actually being serious.
Point taken, but you never know. I've had people say that to me without irony, and not just Republicans.
I’m sure. Actually, I got it from a cartoon, but I can’t recall the cartoonist’s name.
Your comment was correct! Not at all satirical.
