Issue is we used to lock crazy people up in institutions, now society tries to fix them with a hug or a certain colored wristband and a hashtag.


Start treating the dangerous mentally ill like they are dangerous again.

Go back to gun training?
LTC training course along with a test to help determine their mental condition.


What better way to weed out someone who is not capable of responsible gun ownership?
Train the instructors to look for signs of social problems.

The local police department or sheriff department can provide staff for the schools. Our middle schools and high schools have campus resource officers who are provided by the local PD and is on each campus.

Concentration camps?

You’re assuming they buy the guns legally every time. That’s 100% not the case.

How many parents truly know their kids? Know what's going on with them or at their school? When my oldest sister entered middle school, my mom got upset because if someone was tardy to their class, there was not a record of it. After mom raised holy **** at the school, it was tracked and on report cards the next six weeks. After my sister reported a kid took a large marble to school and hit the bus driver in the back of the head, mom started riding the bus. Every day through the rest of the school year, either my mom or my father was on the bus. They got teachers to do it the following years and now their are bus monitors. Mom knew she didn't raise angels, but also knew she wanted us to be safe and receive a good education. She trusted the teachers, but also verified the information. Most parents can't/won't do that these days. Whether it's an absentee father, or having to have both parents work to support the family, there doesn't seem to be a lot of parental oversight, nor is there a lot of trust in teachers...and I understand that. All too often people who don't have the passion or skills become teachers for the 'easy' job (so they think) and the summers off and the retirement. We need to train teachers better and pay them more. We also need to spend more on mental health treatment....and there are a lot of studies on gut health and how it affects mental health. What are these chemicals in processed foods doing to our guts and brains? Cheaper foods...we get what we pay for. I get it. I used to love processed foods, and still do in the form of Lay's Munchies Flamin' Hot Peanuts (I could eat a couple pounds a day if I wouldn't swell up to the size of the Goodyear Blimp), but I control myself.

I believe our foods could very easily be part of this issue and more research needs to be done on what companies are putting into our foods. Heck, in 2007, the FDA banned a pesticide from food crops, but it wasn't until 2018 that they actually quit using it. It was sprayed on soy crops...soy is in darn near everything...and this pesticide is known to cause issues with the brain. It had been in use since the 1960's. Unintended consequences.

But we've got to start speaking up when we notice something isn't right with Little Johnny. Sometimes it isn't just a case of 'boys will be boys'.

You’re assuming they buy the guns legally every time. That’s 100% not the case.

In general terms.....Look at how the 20-somethings are raising this generation, looking backward at each generation before may show how Kids are raised has deteriorated sequentially.

Lack of strong parental influence, lost values........today's choices of entertainment (violent video games, social media, musical lyrics, etc.)

"Reap what you sow", a lot of bad genetics at play too.
