well no one ever seems to agree. but i dont think gun laws alone would stop these tragedies, it comes down to morality and guidance that would stop these tragedies, but the amount of resources it would take to give this much attention to each individual isnt practical. some where over time its been accepted as part of the social norm to lie, to be judgmental, to bully, and to be greedy, but we dont just openly promote these things, we indirectly promote them, we all do, threw our actions and the entertainment we chose to indulge in. and all those bad habits just indirectly promote these worse tragedies. even if its only 1 person out of 10000 that will do something drastic it still comes down to that persons idea of good and if he values what kind of person he is, and those mindsets will be influenced by that persons surroundings threw out their life.
to put it another way, we as people, need to stop wondering about the play were watching, and start wondering about the set behind the play...bad example? oh well. we need to look past the surface and change based off of the findings.
Most ppl wouldn't agree with you that the entertainment industry whether in games, music or television has any bearing in making ppl violent, but I do feel what u r saying. Somewhere along the line ppl became self absorbed only caring about how things effect themselves. They don't care about the pain that they are causing or where roads are going to lead them. They only care about satisfying desires regardless of the consequences.

well i dont believe it is the deciding factor, but indirectly, everything in society has an influence on something. of course its complex and cant be drawn back to a single thing, but we still need to accept the fact that from birth, we learn threw observation. and if we were more diligent about being good people wed ask our selves questions like if i was a good person during my life, rather than only considering it once im on my death bed.
imagine loss happening to you, youd learn some lessons, youd probably humble your self, now imagine learning that lesson without having to lose anything.
not to mention the numerous contradictions we encounter threw life, for example. my dad said to follow the rules, and listen to the people in charge, than he told the life guard in charge to go **** him self and did a back flip next to a sign that said no flips.
obvioulsy that didnt make me evil, but its a single example of numerous mixed messages we get in life, thats why i said it comes back to morality and guidance, having a gun doesnt make you do unforgivable things, the idea, "well im free, so why not" mixed with many complex circumstances is what does imo.
people misinterpret good things and twist it. the freedom we have isnt an excuse to kill

Very profound way of viewing things though most ppl won't put so much thought into how they live their lives
The "I'm free so y not" phrase u added reminds me of the phrase that a lot of ppl use which is "I am grown so I will do what I want"
U r right freedom doesn't make bad things happen. In fact if u took away guns then ppl would just find something else to kill each other with.
The fact is that ppl's mentality is the problem. ..anyway I am going to bed

Well, yes, gun control laws are one way to try and solve the problem.
Of course, so would laws against murder.
See, the problem is that we don't have very good "murder control" laws. People need to register their murder before they commit it to make sure they are allowed to commit it, first. Since people can just decide to go out and kill anyone they please whenever they please, it makes it very difficult to control the incidence of murder in society.
A set of murder regulations would help to contain the issue.
But don't you agree?
I mean - it's not like there's a law against murder, or anything.
I mean, clearly, if there were, then there wouldn't be all of these murders with knives, clubs, and firearms.
Seems more logical to start with a law against murder, first. That way, people know they shouldn't kill each other.
Then, after people deliberately continue to break that law, we can write another law about who can and can't own firearms to make sure that they follow the law about not killing people, because they're going to follow the new law about firearm ownership.
I havent laughed so hard in days omg thank you for this I am crying right now
OT: Shootings are like the norm these days. Ppl are desensitized to it. They just dont see the problem our society has with guns

You are welcome. The intended effect was to generate a laugh at the absurdity of the logic of requiring people set upon committing murder to comply with a set of laws regarding what they are allowed to commit murder with.
I would say society has a problem with people who believe it is okay to kill others in order to obtain what they want. In Britain, for example, the people intent upon using force to obtain what they want still use firearms. The only people without them are those who abide by the laws in the first place and are exceptionally unlikely to use a firearm for the purposes of extortion.
Yes, that is the proper reaction.
Clearly, by increasing regulations upon the action of purchasing firearms, we can limit the illegal behavior of committing murder. Because criminals are going to follow the laws regarding regulations upon how they can commit the illegal act of killing people.
