Murder is illegal, reducing guns may help but your implication is that school shootings are legal and/or cultural accepted.

- krapp 4y agoI think it can be argued that school shootings are culturally accepted. Many Americans seem to view them as a necessary price to pay for, and unavoidable consequence of, their Second Amendment freedoms, something I've seen argued numerous times. The gun culture ethos of "the only answer to a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun" implicitly normalizes the latter to justify the former. And then there's the fact that school shootings basically act as advertisements for the guns used, such that there's always a spike in guns sales after such an event.

- monkey_monkey 4y agoIt's quite obvious that mass shootings are culturally acceptable in the USA. If they weren't, measures would have been taken to reduce their frequency, as has happened in many other countries in the world.
