This girl has more courage in her pinkie finger than all the people who voted for Trump combined. yeah definately. it sure seems that the older generation has taken a "well theres nothing we can do" approach but for people who have lived with mass shootings their entire life, it's a fight they're willing to take up She doesn't speak for the younger generation. There's a new wave/movement of young conservatives. yup, ignorance, self-centeredness and stupidity has found its way to the youth of America but by and large most young people identify as Dem or independent. hell even libertarians have a bigger following than the Republicans (albeit the latter 2 arent a great deal different) but the Republican party is dead/dying You may likely be right that more of the youth identify as Dem instead of Republican. I think there's truth in the cliche about people turning more conservative with age and wisdom. As far as Independents go, I'm independent and plan on staying that way and I voted Trump. Anyway, the alt-right is ill-defined but it's largely a youth movement and the left-wing is plenty threatened by that youthful surge. It's bit of a change-up in the political landscape. The point is that, your personal opinions aside, this isn't an older generation vs younger generation struggle. How many alt-right non-whites can you name?

I kinda like blaming mental health as the cause for shootings because anyone who says that's the real cause is basically saying america is severely more mentally damaged than the rest of the first world. Weve resorted to treating every issue with psychotropic drugs, which may successfully control the primary issue, but creates new ones. 99.9% of people on medication never shoot up a place. If SSRI drugs are a factor, this would be expected. Most people are "ok". Some small percentage want to kill themselves, and an even smaller percentage may hear voices telling them to go on a rampage.

When someone drives a truck into people it's usually because they're on a quest for jihad and I think they're trying to crack down on that "Why don't similar attacks happen in other first world countries like Japan?" Thailand has very strict laws against private ownership of weapons. As a result, only the military, police, and bad guys have them. There are less deaths attributed to guns than in the U.S. No school shootings. Few mass shootings of any kind. Which, of course, is good. However, there are many more murders attributed to knives and beatings. And, bombings. Not good. The bigger problem is how democracy suffers because of the armed strength of the government and police. They can get away with just about anything. In Thailand, it takes a long time, usually 4 to 7 years, for any opposition to gain enough public support to oust the corrupt officials. In 80 years, Thailand has had two free elections. though they were heavily influenced by corrupted voting. The rest of the time, there have been 20 coup dtats since 1932. Some successful and some violent. In 229 years, while the U.S. had a civil war, there have been no coups. Why? Because the Second Amendment allows the populace to be armed. While all these mass shootings in the U.S. are horrific, many thousands have died in Thai coups. The founding fathers of the U.S.A. understood how governments can become corrupt and out of control. They understood the need for a strong civilian population to keep the government in check. The whole U.S. system of government is notable because of the checks and balances between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. They knew governments have a tendency to run amok.

I don't think that is on the table anymore, but I do think it could prevent a bloody Marxist uprising like in Mao's China, or the one that White South African farmers will potentially have to defend themselves from.
