Why are there so many school shootings in America?

This morning I was watching the news, and apparently there was a school shooting (forgot where exactly), where a 12 年 old kid fired shots for 10 seconds, shooting an 11 年 old boy in the face and a 12 年 old girl on the arm. Why do so many of these shootings happen in America? How exactly does a 12 年 old kid get hold of a gun anyway? I'm just worried about how this situation is being handled.

I think it could be many reasons, just to name a few:
-Parents aren't child-proofing their homes like they should and as a result, kids have easy access to their 銃 and other weapons
-Parents aren't teaching their kids morals from an early age and thus kids see shooting each other as okay
-Kids are beginning to think that shooting and killing people is cool and so they want to shoot and kill people too
-Kids that are severely bullied are turning to the bullet to get revenge on their bullies, having been a victim of senseless bullying during my school years, I can understand the anger and possibly even hatred that results from long-term bullying
-Many of these shooters are mentally ill, ex: Adam Lanza, one または both of the Columbine shooters
-Or maybe it could be that we've made gun purchasing and such a bit too easy with little to no background checks, gun control supporters make some good points, but we must remember that the founding fathers didn't create the 2nd amendment for shits and giggles, they wanted citizens to be able to defend themselves

But then we have parents and other people who blame the large amount of gun-fueled action films and violent video games for these shootings. One problem with that though is that if a movie または video game has bloody gun violence, little kids shouldn't be watching または playing those. But then again, I know people who started playing violent video games and watching R-rated films when they were younger than 10 and they haven't killed anybody yet.

I think it's mainly that these kids don't completely know right from wrong, and that most of the people that commit these crimes are not all there. Just like Billy from Scream said, "Movies don't create psychos. 映画 make psychos もっと見る creative."

上, ページのトップへ thing I blame is bullying... The 2nd amendment was put in place with very good reason... The reason still exists... Just the fact that there are parts of the U.S. that just aren't safe... For example, I'll use parts of my hometown... Now granite, Buffalo, NY isn't Compton または New York City, but there are parts of the town here that ya wanna be careful in... the East Side of Buffalo. Not that the West is a picnic, but the news is always 表示中 a shooting または stabbing there... Cab drivers being stabbed または shot and robbed has become a near regular thing. The Riverside/Black Rock area in North Buffalo is not as bad but about 6 months to a 年 back, a guy went out with a samurai sword and tried to rob a gas station mini mart... The Jasper Projects isn't exactly a 安全, 安全です place to be either, and they don't even wanna bring the carnival to Riverside Park on the 4th of July anymore cause there's always some clowns that wanna get into a brawl... This past 年 it was a bunch of girls that... Idk what happened, one girl did something, the other 発言しました something, and the "Oh no あなた didn't" turned into fisticuffs. I live 3 blocks from the park and barely missed the scuffle on my way ホーム from work... I think I was a bit late. Police were getting people out of the area, and things were getting back to semi normal I suppose... I have no gun, but I'd 愛 to have one... Just in case... I always try to at least have a ナイフ on me または a small steel chain... For all the good it will really do me... But... Hopefully I never have to use 'em... Thing is, I run into the thief that has the gun... shit, gun beats ナイフ all 日 lol... I'm dead... So that's why ya don't take away that 2nd amendment... Cause I'm sure the Buffalo Police ain't the only ones... Ya hear gun shots または see a stabbing and ya call the police... It takes a good half 時 before they get there... The "bad guys" if ya wanna call them that, are always gonna have the access to the 銃 and whatever else... Even if あなた make it illegal, there are always criminals that find a way... Give the good average citizen at least that bit of chance of defending his または her self... But if ya own a 火災, 火 arm and ya have a kid... Keep your gun locked up... and keep the loaded clip locked up somewhere else near-by... That way if the kid gets past one lock, he still won't have the ability to do that harm... gun needs the bullets, bullets need the gun... And explain the places あなた lock them up as... That's a NO area... あなた don't touch that locker... whatever... and yeah, raise kids better and listen to their problems cause if mom または dad aint gonna listen, then that just makes the kid even もっと見る sad and then bang... I think it's just communication... Parents gotta communicate better with their kids and kids gotta stop being dicks to other kids... Sorry I've rambled too long... BUT... that's how I feel about it.

^^I'm not sure they would exaggerate a kid being shot in the face. Maybe the number of deaths after a natural disaster, but not something like this. (link

But apparently this kid knew it was not a toy. The motives for his actions seems to be bullying, which makes me wonder, bullying is a worldwide issue. How come school shootings are not as common elsewhere in the world?

Kids aren't /that/ stupid. I'm sure they know what a gun can do. If they 火災, 火 a gun, it's intentional. They want to kill. The thought of blood on their hands excites them.

I've always wondered that. I think people are just angry at their family, classmates, the teachers, and they take this anger so far it pushes them to the edge and they do this horrible thing. I don't get though, why no one would notice this anger. I mean I never understood how a 17 年 old kid could kill a bunch of 5-6 年 old children. It makes no sense. People are just not happy and feel that if they aren't happy no one else should be too. It's insane I know, but what other reason could there be.

Children または 与えられた toy 銃 and are told they can play with them so when they see a real one they think its a toy. Also there is 映画 and video games. Kids brains are like sponges so they do as they see that is how they learn. If parents talk to there kids about gun safety this may happen less.

I think it's less about gun safety and もっと見る about parents making sure their kids are happy at school. Kids don't need 銃 anyway, so they don't need gun safety lessons either.

It's those violent video games! Those rootin tottin bloodshedding computer games are giving children bad influence especially that Battlecall of Field Duty! And that 任天堂 bunch makin all those Gods of Wars and Halos! It's true because that lady on the 狐, フォックス News 発言しました so!

In all seriousness, lack of gun control and irresponsibility, mostly on the part of the parents. Also, I noticed that most suspects of gun shootings either have mental disabilities または such similar cases.

I hope あなた ALL don't believe it's ALWAYS video games as they say on every news channel.

It's also stupid, spoiled, weak, PEOPLE. As well as bullies.
Not just children.

And yes, dumb parents let their weapons in the open, and/or don't properly hide them, and some don't even TEACH them!!!

And some... teach them that stupid stuff.

It can also be, because they've been bullied, misunderstood, dared, または trying-to-prove-a-point.

And racism, sex, gay, christian, atheism, maturity, drugs, ANYTHING.

So many reasons...

Because America has a ridiculous lack of restrictions on guns. There were over TWENTY school shootings in America in 2013. It's stupid. Look at countries with tight fun laws - the UK for example. We haven't had a school shooting since 1996 because people just don't have guns!

So when your country gets invaded によって those who /do/ have guns, your entire population will be wiped out.
Simmeh posted 1年以上前

No, the army, navy and Air Force fight the invaders whilst the police evacuate the civilians. The whole point of having an army is that civilians don't need to defend themselves. And besides, when was the last time anyone wanted to invade the UK? The weather alone is enough to make people emigrate!

I don't think that has much to do with it... The first recorded school shooting in America was in 1764 which was centuries before religious education was thought of as a less important subject.
