The problem here is all mental health. Anyone who is willing to walk into school or place of business and shot people at random has mental issues.

This combined with easy access to firearms is a dangerous combination.

Eventually you will need a license to own a firearm. I believe in some states this is a requirement.

He took loads of shrapnel for his country in a righteous war that saved the world from tyranny.

men today don't have that experience so many of them are little babies who can't deal with their problems, so they go out and kill innocent people. I don't want to oversimplify it, and I'm not saying that all men need to go to war, but there's a stark difference between the problems of a modern young man vs generations past. And I'll include myself in that group of whiny baby men who haven't been forged in the flame of battle. We're all a bunch of pussies, although most of us won't pick up a gun to kill strangers because of a feeling of being victimized.

Those "Proud Boys" Alt Right faggots are the worst and the purest definition of pussy I can think of. Complaining about women who have bigger balls than they do.
You know I can see both of you(Bronco) and Rochard as being right.

I've often complained that people today are pathetically weak and men especially so. That much weakness is going to cause mental problems.

I've always know that it's the scared dog that's most likely to bite you while it's the tough bad ass dog that's more likely to give you lots of warning. It seems to me people are a lot like that. A fucked up coward will go on a murderous rampage while a bad ass redneck won't mess with anyone unless they mess with him first.

So I can see it being a case of *** If you're weak then you're fucked in the head and if you're fucked in the head then you one day you might go on a shooting spree.***

So I'm not a boomer... I'm the Silent Generation.
