What should be done to stop mass shootings?

[Dr Doom Pill]

As the title says what policies, laws, or social reforms do you think should be put in place to stop mass shootings in America?

 

[Milkis]

We could start by banning kitchen knives and pepper spray

 

[Just A Butt]

what if we shot all the shooters, in a group

 

[Puff]

No gun-free zones allowed unless the owners of said zone provide armed security and actually check people entering for weapons would be a decent start.

 

[Tsukasa Kadoya]

Dismantle the CIA/FBI

Armed security at any place likely to be targeted. Remove all gun restrictions so anyone in any place might have a concealed handgun and criminals won't be able to tell ahead of time if they do or not. Possible exceptions for very specific controlled environments like airplanes, where you actually have a system already in place to stop any guns from getting on board at all.

Someone else said no more gun-free zones, this is essentially the answer. Any place where a shooter knows there is likely to be no one else with a gun, is a ripe target. If a place will probably have other people around with guns it's much less of a target. It's less likely that someone will bother to even try and if they do, they will be stopped before they can kill a large amount of people. This is even more so the case if the people carrying in said location are concealing their weapons so a potential shooter wouldn't even know who they are.

It's actually not complicated or difficult to solve, but of course, no one wants to actually solve this problem. They just want to use it to push their own pet agendas.

1. Get rid of blacks, or at the very least stop letting Jews use them as a societal cudgel

2. Stop letting women influence government and society outside the household.

3. Be country 110.


Edit: Sorry, I thought this was the "what should be done about literally any problem in the world" thread

Agreed, armed civilians seem like the best way to protect people. A guy in Indiana was able to stop a mass shooter since he had his gun on him.

Tell all mass shooters to S.O.T.P. STOP

 

[Fascist Frederick]

Firearms training in grade school, everyone forced to carry a gun at all times. If a mass shooter gets a 4+ kill streak and nobody stops them, everyone in the area has their families executed in front of them.

 

[Flea Man Marbles]

People commit mass shootings because their life is shitty and they're angry. Gun control will never work. Any focus on gun control is time wasted on a misplaced mcguffin.
Some of these people are at the end of their rope. Some of them are just immature edgelords. Some have such raging mental illness that they are hardly in control of what their body does.
I do believe that by simple kindness or connection some people could be convinced. For some people it may be a mentor or parental figure. Some people it may be drugs or psychedelics. I don't have all the answers but these seem like common-sense things suggestions at the least. I don't think most happy people would shoot up a fucking elementary school.

 

[marvlouslie]

Arm EVERYONE.

 

[Wormy]

Arm EVERYONE.

It'd stop the mass shootings, but you'd have a new problem where everybody would have to negotiate every little thing in life while having a gun pointed at them and it'd be a mess...

 

[Dr Doom Pill]

What do you guys think of the government funding mental health programs? At first I was for it, but then I realize it would be a massive glowie honeypot.

 

[Puff]

And this is a good thing

 

[Wormy]

And this is a good thing

I dunno man, my draw game isn't good enough to be confident in every single interaction...

 

[TerrorSperg99]

Responsible background checks but that will probably be abused by the left.

 

[Wintersun]

Focus on decriminalizing mental health, actually offer some decent services, destigmatize guns for everyone.

 

[Homicide]

join the police academy

Inefficient, at best. What we have now at worst. And when the Feds are the ones cutting the checks, they can also make sure certain "mental illnesses" get priority for treatment, in addition to lobbying for certain things to get taken off the DSM (like they did with gender dysphoria). I would not trust the Feds with any sort of healthcare, let alone mental health services.
