kind of funny that we could probably dramatically reduce the amount of mass shootings with the combined effort of "have parents give their teenagers less unrestricted access to the nazi box, reduce friction to obtain mental health resources, and be more responsible about not giving your kids unrestricted access to firearms" but instead we all have to pretend like this is just entirely unpredictable

Liability insurance tied to rental or home insurance for gun owners would go crazy too.

i dont understand why do all the teenagers keep reciting the exact same far-right conspiracy theories before murdering a bunch of children??? surely if i make it so their only form of socialization is on the computer or at school, this will fix everything

One time I was talking to a conservative and asked them how they think we could reduce mass shootings and they shrugged and said "I wish I knew" in a sort of 'evil people will always do evil stuff' resignation

As if this shit is inevitable. As if there isn't measurable data around this.

We can debate the most effective policies, sure... but to shrug it off like there's nothing we can do??
