We have to start asking WHY are school shootings happening?
People have owned guns at even higher rates for the whole history of this country without the steady flow of these mass killings.
WHY are these kids going off for last 10 - 20 years shooting up their schools?
Something has changed and until we get at the root cause these events will keep happening.
Losers want fame. They want 'High Score'. They know the media will glorify them and give them what they have been unable to achieve.Stop releasing their names and the shootings will be reduced drastically. They keep telling us why they do it, but most want to ignore what they say.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

ya i hear ya. and like i have said on this subject before, a kid does not think like an adult. no matter how well rounded and together a kid seems to be, they should not have unfettered access to firearms. projecting adult values and judgement on a young man is not a good idea. trust but verify.

Something is wrong at the schools themselves. Schools are the common denominator.

Why do school shootings happen?
Several of the shooters have been caught alive.
Shouldn't anyone ask them?
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Why do school shootings happen?
Because the children aren't held responsible for what they do. Parents aren't held responsible for their children. This is what you get when the "village" raises the children.
We all talk about "they way it was" when we were kids.....taking guns to school, so we could hunt after school let out, or shooting on the rifle team, working on them in gunsmith class, etc....
Go back another generation, and my dad (at 16 years of age) would buy a case of dupont, along with blasting caps, and charged them to my Grandad's account. Carried it home on his shoulder, and spent the weekend blasting stumps to expand the hay field. Now, you have to be 18 to buy a rattle can of spray paint, and 21 to buy ammo!
I ask............what is different between now and 1947? This has absolutely nothing to do with guns.....it's the village.

I blame it on republicans, capitalism, freedom....oh and the Church.
Makes as much sense as 96% of whats posted here.
The US in the last 40 years:
Socialism for big corporations and military industrial complex
&
Rugged individualism for the individual.

Here's more info on the Houston shooter. Not condoning in the least but there were reasons. I know, I know, kids aren't taught to be tough and hard anymore but this culture of basically rewarding the bully has got to stop if the murder is to stop. Link

"Here's a list of school shootings. Apparently the first one (from this list) occurred in 1764 in Greencastle PA."
A lot of those are just shootings that happen to take place at a school. I don't classify that in the same category as Columbine, etc..

Reading the 1999 book by Lt. Col. David Grossman and Gloria DeGaetano "Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill" might give a few answers.

Schools are unhappy places for most kids. They have pressure to perform in the classroom. Most are outsiders when it comes to popularity. Some kids are ugly. The other kids make fun of them. Most hate going to school. There are lots of sexually fustrated young men in high schools. Most are too awkward to get a date. Most don’t have a way to get an automobile. It’s hard to get a girlfriend without a way to take her on dates. There is lots of pent up frustration. Some build up a terrible rage. They create revenge scenarios, some with access to firearms, carry them out. They feel their lives are going nowhere. I think they want others to feel the pain they do. The only way to stop this is securing the buildings.

I read a link recently that says all school shooters were under psychotropic drug use...

The only way to stop this is securing the buildings. this helps to sum up the abc's of it all. schools are an integral part of corporate world we live in. youngsters have to have somewhere to go, to be controlled, to be "educated" while the parents work. it's just the way it is. women for the most part are no longer in the homes while the husband works. they both work and are gone, thus the need for children's care. frustration does build. and unfortunately sometimes it spills over. and then it's not a pretty sight. maybe more control is needed.
