About the sad Madden shooting.
Switzerland is a country where people can easily own firearms, yet this shit doesn't happen.
But they have healthcare, which normally would detect things like... uh, unhinged lunacy just beneath the surface laying dormant.
If legal guns were the source of the problem the US would be the Wild West, since there are like... over 260 million firearms?
If the media could stop talking about these bitchnuts instead of perpetually placing them in the infamous museum, maybe some of them wouldn't do it. They want that sort of legacy, and the media (social media, mass media, whatever) are complicit of elevating the status of these morons. He was no one before this, but now he will live in the collective memory of our living generations.
There's obviously also an issue of gun violence and it pertains to one cultural issue with the US. the whole brb killing myself after committing mass murder is almost a cliché at this point.
PS: Now, there's a point to be made about the extent of the damage, but I believe crowded places should have a high scrutiny of security. Lets say he cant bring a gun, but can bring in a knife and stab whoever beat him. In theory, this wouldn't work as his endgame was suicide... but still, there was the component of revenge. Now, how can you get access to a crowded place which isn't a public space and not get any sort of check of what you're carrying? that's my question.
I have argued in the past that the difference (the main one) between a gun and a knife, is how you have to use visceral violence to go through with the knife killing. You need to be enraged, you need to go through seeing the pain you're inflicting. There's an intimate relationship between the death your causing and your physical output.
Now this is a gun:
Casually shooting deadly projectiles and just leaving when you're done. no harm done. it's not NSFW as he doesn't hit the lawyer, who is a ninja master
