It happens because of their stupid gun laws and gun culture!!
Well I'd say that is what facilitates these shooters yes, gun laws, the culture and normalisation is all part of it. But the ease of getting your hands on a gun, the gun culture and normalisation of it is not the only reason we end up with mass shooters is it? Otherwise everyone in the USA would be going on violent sprees left, right and centre.
Clearly there are other factors that feed into school shootings. Mental illness seems to me to be one of the bigger contributing factors.
We have mentally ill people here in the UK but we're not having mass shootings every week are we!?!
But if we had the same prevalence of firearms available, we would. As another PP pointed out, in the UK we restricted our gun laws because of a school shooting in Dunblane. If we hadn't tightened up our laws we would have had many more incidents like that tragedy perpetrated by other mentally ill or disturbed men.
This is the 44th school shooting this year. Only 5 shooters have been trans. Ban transgender people, cure gender dysphoria, whatever you want. You still have 39 unexplained school shootings. Except they aren't unexplained, they are easily explained by Americas gun problem.
I think you missed my point about the number of trans identifying people on a population level (they are considered to be a tiny, tiny minority of people) and how many trans identified shooters there have been this year within that vanishingly small trans identified population. 5 out of 44 is not an insignificant number when viewed from a tiny minority of trans identifying population Vs trans identifying active shooters perspective.
And of course FWR is mentioned, you think they are enlightened and are clearly captured by the anti trans obsession. Readers, if you value your faith in humanity avoid that board like the plague.
Ok that's just an outright lie. FWR is PRO-WOMEN not anti-trans.
It is not anti-trans to want to uphold women's rights, dignity, privacy, spaces, provisions, sports, rape crises centres, health care, awards, places, sponsorships, etc etc etc.
It is in fact misogynistic to tell women that they are anti-trans for attempting to protect the above from the encroaching, infiltrating, colonisation by men (and that's not even counting the straight up fetishism from some of them).
Biological reality is important. Women saying no is not anti-trans. FWR is not anti-trans and in fact have a lot of compassion and understanding of young trans identifying people of both sexes.
As an aside, I'm a stubborn, contrary old mare these days, so if someone tells me not to look at something, particularly if they are using emotionally manipulative phrasing such as "Readers, if you value your faith in humanity avoid that board like the plague.", you can guarantee I'm going to go look! 😂
I don't like being dictated to, or told that my morality or humanity will be in question for simply reading another point of view. The latter is particularly risible.
It's quite authoritarian to tell people to not look, don't read, don't think for yourself.
Frankly it makes me think that the authoritarian speakers are afraid that people might (shock, horror!) use their own brains to think with, and draw their own conclusions with, instead of being told what is "good" or "bad" by other people... they might come to totally different conclusions from the authoritarian speaker and the authoritarian who tries to frighten people away from forming those conclusions with their manipulative phrasing may, or may not have their own agenda... 🤔
So Readers (😂), I say go have a read on FWR and draw your own conclusions.
Don't be afraid, we don't bite! 😂
We are actually quite a nice bunch over there, a bit forthright, but the women (and few men) who post there are incredibly intelligent and compassionate people. We like a good robust discussion and really put a lot of store in reality and actual scientific based evidence (which we are happy to share freely). instead of emotionally manipulative words. We encourage you to make your own minds up, we might disagree with your conclusions, and point out where and why we think you are wrong, but we aren't actually telling you what to think... unlike some people! 😂
