The government is completely ignoring the real problem here.

You want to lower shootings? Let me explain how

1. Self Accountability - There was a time when people had morals and actually held themselves to a higher standard. We live in a world that encourages you to not have beliefs, to ignore personal morals, and if you dont agree with what someone else does your "close minded". Strip away all personal justice and all your left with is a world where everything is right and nothing is wrong. What do you stand for?

2. Better parenting - Parents need to actually care about their children's lives and be involved. Show love, compassion, understanding, guidance, and discipline.

3. Stop bullying - Many school shootings and violence are the product of bullying and disrespect. This isnt just in school but life in general. Treat everyone as an equal and do unto others as you would have done to you.

I think an additional issue here is that the media also glorifies the shooter. When something like this happens they give equal amount of spotlight to the shooter and the victims, and in some cases more. They should be treating these people like the dirt and scum that they are by ignoring them, instead of giving them insane amounts of attention bordering celebrity status that only gives other troubled people ideas of how to get the attention of the masses. The only thing that should matter in these tragedies are the victims.

Yeah I agree 100%
