Mental health is a problem. But we can look at mental health problems for other similar nations and still conclude: damn, these people shouldn't be able to get a gun so easily.

I am pro gun. But our laws around guns are just asking for the brain broken white supremacist to go shoot up a school/church/grocery store.

    "Depressed/Neurodivergent/etc. people shouldn't carry guns." "Yep, great idea why don't we take their other rights as well?" I'm all for permiting guns only to people who need them for work, but this is just discrimination, without any positive consequences.

    Society has moved on to office buildings and insurance executives as its stereotypical targets for maniacal violence.

    I wish. There have already been 7 school shootings this year that I remember, compared to 1 insurance assassination and 1 office building assault.

    No, we just stopped caring about schools. We treat it like a hurricane that we can do nothing about. It's gross.

    You're seeing the CEOs die because that's new. Not because the other stuff stopped.
