What about inability to cope or handle rejection? For years we have watched as competition has been replaced by participation awards that are given to make children feel good. While no one wants their child to ever be disappointed or upset, when they are young, they need to face conflict and disappointment and learn to resolve it appropriately under the guidance of adults. It is part of developing their personality and dealing with conflict in the future. When youth are not taught how to handle difficult situations, they must find their own way to cope, which without guidance may be result in unhealthy or even dangerous future behavior.
I think perhaps we are not evaluating the true root cause which is obviously very complex. We must make efforts to change our society as a whole. It's my belief that the root cause starts with our youth lacking basic skills including respect for authority figures like parents and teachers, the ability to cope with conflict and the ability to handle rejection. Further issues like mental health and alcohol/drug use also play a role, but column length restrictions limit my ability to cover all aspects of the root cause today.
Many have pointed out that years ago, people would go to school and have hunting rifles in their vehicles. Yet, mass violence in schools and other locations did not happen as in society today. It makes me think that there must be a root cause that we are not addressing that has led to this change.
So if it's a culture of violence that is becoming more prevalent. How do we fix that? We can't.
I do not understand the point of making it easy for criminals, and wackos to get their hands on guns.
I would also ban AR-15's and similar weapons, because I do not believe they are defensive weapons.
Children are being slaughtered in schools like nowhere else on earth with these assault weapons.
If they were already banned, those kids and many others would have been alive today.
Either prove AR-15's are a defensive weapon against burglars and criminals or go fuck yourself.
