The real problem in this country we need to take of is mental health. The staggering percentage of youth that are suffering from depression is the real pandemic of our time, but no one in the national government is taking it seriously. Until they do, expect incidents like this to continue no matter what kind of gun control legislation is passed. Common sense legislation could help (though our government often doesn't do a good job with common sense), but it will not eliminate this. Addressing the causes of the mass increase in depression is the big, and admittedly very difficult step that will stem the tide.
 
I'll accept thoughts and prayers when it is equally applied.

I am not so hypocritical to accept prayers and laws to protect innocents from abortion while completely ignoring sensible legislation which would protect children in a parade.

If you are a true Christian in a true faith, you must question the men who tell you things. Those who tell you to protect unborn and ignore living because it's different somehow, probably need to be more adequately questioned because that stance is pure garbage.

I think social media is making the kids depressed. If you scroll on facebook all day and see everyone posting their highlight reels, you can start to feel like your life sucks. It also seems like Tiktok is hacking their brains and making them believe garbage.

They’ve done studies on this, but there is never any regulatory action taken. Mark Zuckerberg will go to congress and they slap him on the wrist but nothing ever happens.

I feel bad for these kids sometimes. Growing up in a world before cell phones and social media was amazing. I feel like they’ve been robbed of a real childhood.

i agree somewhat, but you don't think other counties have many youths with mental illnesses/depression? the common demoninator is guns. The extememe pro gun people are against ANY legislation that prevents gun ownership. And the normal pro gun people buy into the 'THEY ARE GONNA TAKE ALL OUR GUNS AWAY!!!" lie. Most gun owners don't want mental health to be a reason not to own a gun. just take the woman who recently shot up the church, she has mental health issues a mile long (documented and forced institutionally), among family members trying to get help from law enforcement, but that didn't disqualify her form legally owning a gun.
