I have no idea.
I think it's wrong to consider a gun fired with nobody injured as a school shooting, the gun grabbers need to inflate numbers.
If you count injuries, it's still a big number, anything over an outlier is a big number in this case. As for gun grabbers, that horse has bolted, handguns in USA will never be banned... I think it's an irrelevant point though, this is by far not a gun issue.
Since all schools have become gun free zones and they no longer have police in schools perhaps a few parents suing the schools for not providing security will bring a change from school administrators, lawsuits tend to get a response to prevent future lawsuits.
School and gun free zone, you say it with such casual normality. It just blows my mind, gun free, not gun free, just blows my mind when we talk about armed incident and armed response in schools. It's madness for a first world country.
You are wrong in saying there is something seriously wrong with people in that country
I hope so. I know a lot of awesome Americans, but something is undeniably wrong in the psyche, for this to be happening with such boring regularity.
these shootings aren't being done by Alpha males they're being done by despicable losers.
Relevance? I don't see where you got alpha males or despicable losers from. It is done, mostly, by American kids. Maybe it's just normal. I sound like the biggest dick when I say I am largely against immigration from war torn countries, that have been so for generations (e.g. middle east, where this is the way of life, rather than a temporary conflict, such as Yugoslavia). If someone is born into it, they are not changing. I am thinking, maybe, America is becoming one of those countries. They have been at war with someone since WWII. Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and countless smaller conflicts. Maybe killing is now ingrained into this generation and it will take 3 more generations of peace to unfuck the situation. Again, no idea. I just look at the data...
What solution do you suggest to stop school shootings in the US that doesn't violate constitutional rights?
I like how you sneaked "that doesn't violate constitutional rights" in... I am by no means against guns, heck, I'd love a belt fed machine-gun. Like I said, this is not a gun problem. And even if it was, there are too many guns in circulation anyway. So I don't know. Maybe something around better social/support services, but I don't know.
