If you would take some time to study how mass shootings come to be and, well, let's say, unweil, you will see that it takes a) a long period to mentally prepare for, b) a comparable period to prepare materiel for and c) a willingness to execute that is rooted in the above.
This misconception that mass shootings are in a big part something impulsive is a symptom of.. well.. ignorance.
Can someone at last investigate the actual problem? You can't control thoughts by administrative or legislative action, how hard can this be to grasp??

- vwcx 7y agoThere was a shooting in my neighborhood just 12 hours ago. 6 in the hospital, 2 in critical condition, 1 confirmed deceased. Outside of the 'psych-it-up-to-light-it-up' mentality the shooter(s) would've needed to garner in the minutes before, was this not impulsive? https://www.popville.com/2019/09/confirmed-shooting-in-columbia-heights/ https://www.popville.com/2019/09/confirmed-shooting-in-colum...

- lstodd 7y agoI'm sorry for whoever got shot there. Really. But still I think it wasn't an impulse. Or, more likely the impulse was a manifestation of some deeper problem. The one everyone either couldn't see or chose to neglect. But it was there for a long long time. All in all I wish everyone still alive would get out of this fine. Meanwhile, I have to go fetch a beretta 92fs so if such shit decides to happen to me, I at least will have a chance to do something. And do it in style.
