I think we all need to stop and think about the root cause of the problem here. We need stop and try not to judge and look at the big picture. We need to try and not jump not on a bandwagon and think for ourselves without judgement. Its hard for people to get a clear picture on controversial problems like this. To many people do not sit and think about things. They jump on a bandwagon and judge instantly. They read an article on something judging as they read it either agreeing or dismissing as they read. They get to the end of the article hit like or a sad face maybe a angry face. They never stopped to think about it. They move onto the next article forgetting about it the next day or even 5 minutes later. I am not saying we are all like this but there is quite a few.

I believe this is a mental problem. Just one example is this. Lets just say we have a teenager that is being bullied everyday at school. In the beginning they tell a teacher about the bullying, the teacher talks to the bullies and the they say they didn't do it or that they are sorry. The teacher turns around and walks away she is not even out of sight and the bullies are already mocking you quietly in plain sight right behind the teachers back. No one is helping this person at school and its a endless cycle. Trying to get help only for nothing to happen. Now on top of it you are getting bullied even more for being a snitch. At the end of school he goes home and there is no relief there either. Maybe his parents are abusive or they don't really take the time to listen to him. You are always dismissed on everything that means something to you and your problems are "not a big deal". Maybe your parents just say suck it up laugh and say everyone goes through it and you will be fine.

My example has allot going on for one person and given a persons upbringing everyone has their breaking points. Anyone that has had problems mentally knows how hard it is. A teenager has so many hormones and emotions on top of it all. A person does not just decided to just go shooting people. A stable person does not play a video game and think about shooting people in real life. A person is not born bad. A bad upbringing, and many other things lead to problems in life mentally. A abusive upbringing can cause allot of anger on top of not seeing a normal relationships and not learning to deal with problems the right way.

How about we fix the root cause of this instead of banning guns. There might be a few less school shootings but it won't stop them. Lets just say we magically ban all guns and no one can get them not even the bad guys. Do we really want our kids hanging in a closet dead from suicide cause no one was helping them? Sure it might be better then a school shooting, but don't we still have a problem here? We would still have the root cause of the problem a mental health problem in one shape of another from abuse or bullying it could be many things. I love to hear other peoples view on these things maybe I am missing something here.
