sigh. the parent blamers are out.

it makes me sick in my heart to read people here spewing this nonsense.
yes, some parents fuck their kids up.
and some kids get fucked up by life.
and some kids are born w a kink in their heads.
and it can be damn hard to tell the difference from the outside.

statistics show there were few mass shootings, and there never has been a shortage of guns in America since Abraham Lincoln's era. But I think mass shooting has more to do with social isolation. Now people do more texting on phones than actual get-together's and actual conversations.

and stop blaming divorce. i would have been much better off being raised by my single mother than living w my alcoholic, violent father.
dont be a simpleton.

and if you remember the Texas tower shooter, he did not have AR-15's. He was picking off innocent people in the court yard with single shots.

I said NOTHING about divorced parents. There are millions of kids who grew up with divorced parents and did just fine.

I will repeat...the mass shootings in my opinion are the result of SOCIAL ISOLATION. Observe many of these mass shooters do not have a close friend circle. They are usually not close with parent(s).
