but what can you do?
I think you could start by stricter laws, make it harder for all ppl to get hold of a weapon. Maybe like in Sweden, you have to use it in your profession or hunting to own a gun. And not only hunting btw, i think they have to be part in some hunter club or sum. This wouldnt get direct effects but after 1 generation or two it would look very different. We in Sweden have our share of murders and shoot outs, luckely we haven´t had any massacre yet though. I think and hope that in this country we are rather good to read signs from our children so we can adress problem a lot faster. Of course some ppl allways fall through. But less ppl falling through means less risk that something really bad happens. In US it seems like everybody just think of them self first. Like who cares if ppl live on the streets or dont afford medical help or drink them self to death or have problems in school. Sure it happens here too BUT the sociaty does everything to get ppl out of that situation.
