| 2 | Why are school shootings so common?Good point, people usually bring in examples like Switzerland who have high rates of guns but nearly non-existant mass shootings. What do you think the main issue is then if it's not access to guns? Our stigma against men's mental health, news sensationalism, breakdown of the nuclear family and traditions/values, the internet and radicalization/echo chambers, the mass abundance of information of these shooters, our individualistic culture, etc. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 15/09/22 06:20 AM |
| 1 | Why are school shootings so common?Can you answer my question to why mass shootings don't happen in other countries/entire continents? Are you the one to believe that if guns were banned, people would resort to using knifes and cars? I don't think it's a cop out, I find it a cop out when people don't answer why mass shootings don't happen in other gun restricted countries. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/09/22 05:21 AM |
| -2 | Why are school shootings so common?You're correct. I just find it disingenuous when people simply claim they were bullied when 1) Many of them were not indeed bullied. 2) They were bullies themselves. 3)They were bullied, but were also bullies who initiated it first (such as Nikolas Cruz). It gives these kids some sympathy that they don't deserve, and puts all the blames on bullying while ignoring the root of the problem which are guns. If bullying first of all was the main issue, why don't other first world nations (or even 3rd … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/09/22 05:09 AM |
| -3 | Why are school shootings so common?Sure, you never explicitly stated other countries don't have bullying and prior to columbine in the U.S., but how can you not see where I'm coming from? Someone asks why mass shootings are so common in the U.S., and you bring up bullying instead of the real elephant in the room or even mentioning it (guns + excessive media coverage of the incident and perpretatrors). Where are the school shootings in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, etc? Can you answer that for me so that you understand my p… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/09/22 04:42 AM |
| 3 | Why are school shootings so common?You forgot a major factor, media glorification and coverage of these shooters. Look up mass shooting contagion. Basically a well established theory where reporting these incidents and identities creates a catalyst for more shootings due to inspiration, fame, notoriety, etc. It's the same reason the media doesn't report on suicides (like they did with subway suicides in vienna) , because it's unethical and well established. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/09/22 03:56 AM |
| -6 | Why are school shootings so common?Bullying is non-existant in other countries and before Columbine? And you realize that many of the shooter's were bullies themselves (Eric and Dylans bullying trope was debunked as their friend group would take up two entire bowling ally lanes and had frequent parties. They also were reported to bully others on the contrary. Then there's Nikolas Cruz and Salvador Ramos who reportedly also bullied others relentlessly. If I recall correctly, both also tortured and killed animals). And many of the … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 14/09/22 03:54 AM |
