What about kids that stab people. Should parents be held responsible for not locking the kitchen knives behind a fire proof safe? How about kids that troll facebook until other kids off themselves. Should parents be held responsible for not locking them out of facebook?
Crimes happen every day bro. Prohibition of anything, won’t fix anything, and everyone knows that... It would be impossible to abolish crime for humans, because the only way to do that, is to eliminate the need for a crime. You can eliminate the need for people to steal food, or something simple like that, but you will never eliminate a persons need to commit a “crime”. So yeah, murder is here to stay for a while longer. And I’d rather take my chances with a bullet, than get run over by a truck, or get blown up, or have someone douse me in gasoline and light me on fire, or get hacked with a machete, etc. Also with this many people, odds are, that there’s quite a few crazy brains out there just freely breeding and creating more little fucked up humans. You gotta watch out for those ones.
And personally, and maybe this is just me... I think it takes more of a fucked up person, to rape, molest, sex/human traffic, than it does to kill a person. Just my opinion though.
We have lots of laws that can be broken or bent but we still have the law because something is better than nothing. We cant do nothing. We make people stop at red lights. You don't have to stop though. But people do for the most part. All you can do is make things harder and harder. That being said the NRA will throw a tantrum. What needs to happen is that at some point a Republican politician who wins the presidency needs to firmly renounce the NRA.As in, "Hey NRA, get the fuck out of here with your nonsense I don't want your money". Which means it wont happen.
This is the #1 most critical issue. Mental health of kids. Every year kids get a physical (or are supposed to, and they do for sports at least). We make sure kids' bodies are 'right'. We take blood, get vaccines, check their heart, check to make sure their little knee reflexes cuz that's important. But mentally we don't care. Why isn't every kid examined by a mental heath professional no matter what in 4th grade (or whatever), then every two years after, and if they/we see anything, we address it like we would a bad wrist? That's not difficult. Nothing is worst than these shootings and all of a sudden everrrryone is like 'yeah, he was weird". But no one did anything, no one helped or intervened, no medication, therapy. Just let him slide by.
Not really. People are just products of their environments, some people react strangely to what most would consider a “good” environment. Also, some people are just fucked in the head.
