"Love you mom and dad"

That is what a 7 year old little girl in Delaware wrote on her arm on Feb 7 in response to a school lockdown due to a bomb threat. When her mom asked her why, she responded that she wanted her mom and dad to know that she loved them if the bad guy got her and killed her. That was her good-bye message to her mom and dad. THIS IS WHAT YOU F***ing GUN NUTS HAVE DONE TO OUR CHILDREN!! THEY NOW EXPECT TO DIE IN SCHOOL AT THE HANDS OF A GUNMAN. INSTEAD OF AGREEING TO PASS COMMONSENSE GUN CONTROL LAWS YOU THINK ITS OK FOR LITTLE SEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRLS TO SCRAWL GOOD BYE MESSAGES ON THEIR ARMS BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DIE. I HOPE YOU'RE F***ing HAPPY. IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT TWENTY SIX YEAR OLD BOYS AND GIRLS WERE SLAUGHTERED AND YOU ALLOWED THE CARNAGE TO CONTINUE, NOW OUR CHILDREN EXPECT TO GET SHOT AND DIE IN SCHOOL AT THE HANDS OF A DERANGED GUNMAN.

How sad for the child. And how sad that you've made her story and grief your political soapbox.

thats sad as hell.

its not just a 'gun nut' problem though, these school shootings are far more complex than just 'guns'

there is so much more contributing to it, including media and social media, video games, and death reminders which elevate mortality salience and aggression towards 'others'
depression in our youth is rising steadily, and a lot of people are also really isolated, despite all the ways we are connected, and the affects of all of this needs to be looked at

I am actually working on a research proposal paper right now, where we are looking at the media and social media etc and how death reminders in the media etc affect how we think, how we treat other people and even what be buy.

facebook has actually admitted to having done a study where they attempted to alter peoples moods via inserting a lot of negative and sad stories into their feeds to see if they could trigger depression, and it worked.
so now we have to look at the mediums such as Facebook and how they tailor the feed to the individual based off of these algorithms which determine your interests, therefore, a person who has mental health issues could hypothetically have newsfeed which is tailored to trigger an episode of psychosis.

there is a lot to look at, but the fact that the availability heuristics say our schools aren't safe, statistically speaking, they are.
but due to the mass coverage, and stories which are just...you're bombarded with all the bad our world has to offer via media, and it creates a level of anxiety in a person where you are EXPECTING bad things to happen, and that in itself has a negative affect on our mental health and physical health as well well as our purchasing patterns, and how we vote, which is what it all really boils down to in the end.

What's sad is this is the typical response from you gun nuts. Rather than saying, yes, enough is enough. We don't need military style assault rifles, so lets just take them out of the equation. Nope, you accuse me of getting on a soapbox. Typical.

YOu don't live in the US. I do. Yes it is a gun nut problem. We cannot get sensible, comprehensive gun control because of hte F***ing 2nd amendment and the gun nuts thinks that means that they have a god given right to stockpile as many weapons, including military style weapons. If the automatic weapons ban hadn't expired in 2004, then Adam Lanza wouldn't have had that AR rifle to slaughter all those six year olds. James Holmes wouldn't have been able to pick off theater goers like fish in a barrell and Stephen Paddock wouldn't have been able to reign terror in Las Vegas by picking off concert goers from his hotel room.

this


Its not guns as much as its lack of access and affordability to mental health services and an overall society outlook and attitude we have now to be cruel to others and isolate people

My mom and Stepdad have a literal arsenal. Neither of them have ever been arrested or shot anyone. So there goes your theory

and thats a very valid point, and as a Canadian I am appalled by the American gun culture, but there is more to it when it comes to school shootings.
guns don't kill people, people kill people.
why? how does a person do that?
why?
also, gun laws don't prevent things like this, especially when they differ state by state.

I agree, you guys need laws around guns and not everyone should have access to hand guns or military grade weapons, I agree completely, but......why are people killing each other in this way? why is it becoming more common?
theres more to it girl
