I see the problem a whole lot different than people born after about 1970

There is a different emphasis on what is important generally speaking in people in the U.S. now since about the 1970s. This created a sea change in people's behaviors.

Are these changes bad or good or both? I would have to say a little of both.

However, part of the change is that people no longer police themselves like they once did. For example, the rest of the world I found in the 1980s at least is like the U.S. was in the 1950s still.

Here's the example. When my two sons then ages 12 and 14 were going to be kidnapped for ransom from Dharamshala, India I wasn't there when this happened. So, this is what happened. When the two men in a Mercedes pulled a gun on my boys their 20 or so Tibetan Friends also around 12 to 15 years of age pulled their knives on these men and a standoff began and eventually the two men in a Mercedes trying to kidnap my boys left because they couldn't shoot all the Tibetan Boys and survive the situation.

So, this is what happens in other countries when there is a problem. They travel in groups (even the women do this to prevent Rapes) and some of them are armed with knives or whatever to protect each other from strangers whoever they are.

It was like this in the 1950s too. If people became strange or crazy or difficult often they would just disappear into a shallow grave somewhere and that would be the end of it.

I know this sounds awful but wasn't this better than mass shootings all the time like now?

People who were trouble makers of any kind didn't survive very long usually. They didn't even survive until 20 or 30 years of age without a vigilante or a group putting them down. This is just how it was in the U.S. before about the 1970s.

Many of you might think mass shootings every week or so where 10 to 50 or more people die is better than this. But, here's the thing. These shootings are going to get worse and worse and worse until we start to go back to the old ways (or everyone will be dead).

If you can figure out realistically a better way I'd like to hear about it. However, I haven't heard one practical one that I believe actually would work yet. I've only heard people's fantasies that really don't work regarding human nature in the end not realistic solutions.

Isn't it better that people disappear before they take out 10 or 50 or 100 people?

Otherwise 10 or 20 years from now this all will just get 100s of times worse than now.

IF Democrats are so afraid of guns that they refuse to defend themselves against crazies with guns then on one level that is just natural selection in action. IF people don't defend themselves then sooner or later they are just dead and that's all.

This is from someone who grew up in the 1950s and saw how all this worked then. It wasn't pretty but mass shooters usually didn't survive long enough to become mass shooters then.
